[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 3698650, member: 25419"] Deer can taste gamey - I just don't notice it much. I make sausage with deer and pigs and a few years ago the wife said some a batch tasted "strong" to her, as opposed to the others. She insisted that the big buck was seriously gamey as opposed to the does. (I know this is true to a certain extent, but in a cured, smoked sausage?) So - I tried three sausages - one from the buck, the one from a doe, and one commercial pork sausage. Sampled next to each other the difference was clear. The doe had a mild flavor, yet distinctly deer. The pork was very bland (unlike wild pig) - the one from the buck was absolutely strong tasting. (it was a mature buck, killed during the rut) All tasted good to me, but I eat goats, sheep and all manner of creatures, so "gamey" doesn't come across as bad on my palate. Wife grew up on grocery store bland food, so it threw her off a bit. I intentionally shoot mostly does now, just to avoid that "rutting buck" flavor. Mostly.... [/QUOTE]
