Where I live I estimate at least half of white men hunt deer. Some people look at me funny if I tell them I've never been hunting. It's absolutely necessary for population control, because we're never going to get these people to go for reintroduction of wolves.
I've had a deer steak so good it ranks up with the best beef steaks I've had. I've had deer so gamey it's gross. Hunters tell me the biggest influence on taste is how quickly the deer dies. It could be bullshit but I believe it. They aim for the heart, and if their aim is true the deer will die instantly.
I'm a big fan of jerky made in the old style (very thin and chewy) with no sugar added. Deer jerky is my second favorite after biltong. You should try it if you get a chance! I know I'll keep an eye out for moose now.
Stress hormones taste like ass but that's not game taste as such.
Interesting, I'll definitely keep my eye out for some deer when I have the chance, thanks for the recommendation! Jerky made out of pretty much any meat is good tbh, my grandparents also made it out of salmon and it was absolutely amazing. Cut into cubes but left on the skin and then hung in a smoke rack until dry. So good.
