Are you my wife or something?!

I was thinking what my wife would do if she read that or I said it

I shot a doe 4 years ago. She was good eating. I shot a 1.5 year old buck the next year, he was pretty good too. The last 2 bucks I shot were mature, and outside the backstaps which were delicious, the rest of the animal taste exactly like a goat smells. Not my idea of tasty meat.

But some people claim it's delicious. I couldn't imagine any human being taking a bite of the steak I cooked last week from last years Antelope buck and thinking it tasted good. I literally took one bite and spit it out onto the cutting board and gave it to the dogs. It was that rank. It was cooked perfect, rare and I'm grass fed butter. I shot that buck basically on a dirt road, drove right up to it and had it quarter and on ice within 30 minutes of his last hear beat. Meat care couldn't have been better. So I really don't know. Its pretty hit or miss. 50/50 in my experience and the 4 I've killed have been on 3 very different parts of the state.

Your hands on those cheek patches tells me all I need to know about that meat. That smell and taint goes a long way once you touch them.

Moose in the rut smells and tastes like willow bushes, age them after the take.

Moose is probably my least favorite. The best game meat I have had is probably august caribou followed closely to muskox. I hunt moose during the rut though. Dall sheep pretty good too.
