Nice whitetail on cam and almost, just almost: Recap

Good job, i am sure that blood trail was super easy to follow...

Looks like an all you can eat smorgasbord you layed out for them, i bet your deer was only 80lbs on day one, by day three she added 20lbs from the feed

Yep. Had our first dinner last night and the steaks and chops cooked up nice. Kids couldn't get enough.

His, yours, or both? Curious to hear how much the 2 does differ in taste.

I shot a muley buck a couple years ago (you saw the pic), my dad shot a whitetail doe that same weekend, and the difference in taste was huge! Wondering if it was a buck vs doe thing or if it's a muley vs whitetail....

I'll let you know. Next weekend we are cooking side by side, same steaks, same salt/pepper/olive oil....side by side comparison. Like I said, mine is tasty tasty.

We have done the side by side taste test. Hands down the whitetail doe the bro in law shot is the tastiest deer I've had the pleasure of eating. My muley is very good, but I've got to give it to him......his is the best.

Yeah I have never had a mule deer that even came close to a whitetail.  Last year I tasted grain-fed muley doe next to mountain whitetail buck and the buck tasted much better.

Mule deer definitely have more meat on them though.
