    It's all the same.
    I think it's more important how you handle the meat, and how old the deer is.
    Everything else is shades of gray.

    Some guys I know said that meat flavour improves immediately as soon as you start cutting your own meat.

    Ya I would agree depends on the food source. One of the best deer I ever ate was a muley and he had been living off an alfalfa farm for at least a couple years. Hanlding key too as others said, and I always butcher my own.

    The 4 point rutty muley I got last year was the second best eating animal I've had, after stone sheep. I got a local blacktail a few years back that was fairly strong tasting. I think it really depends on the particular animal and its habits as well as meat handling of course.

    my vote is for wt, but i have never ate blacktail yet

    fallow was the best venison i've had while in NZ, I'd guess it would be the same here in BC, for those lucky few who have access

    Still buy tags but quit eating them except hot dogs,pepperoni,garlic sausage or jalapeños cheddar smokies. Much better things to eat.
