Hunting by Game/Technique > Deer Hunting
Do does taste better??
ship of fools:
I have heard this many times from many people.
I stopped hunting when i got out of college, got married, had little kids etc and picked it back up when i really got into bowhunting five or six years ago. Two years ago i shot a small buck for my first deer in twenty plus years and last year i got a small buck with the bow and an eight point with the rifle.
This year i got two does with the bow.
Well i just tried a steak from the doe and i swear it tastes much better ..... it is literally from the same set of woods although there were tons of acorns last year and not this year so they are eating at least a little differently. I had a steak from at my buddy from college's place from his doe and it was great too.
What do you guys think??

I believe a young doe is better but I have had a couple big old ones that was not so great and actually seem to smell different when cooking! :-\

I have shot a ton of deer from 80 lb. does early season all the way up to 192 lb. bucks full rut and they all taste the same to me however for obvious reasons the big boys are tougher. Taste the same just gotta chew more ;D just my opinion.........

Funny you say that about the toughness. lol I was just thinking about the most tender deer i ever ate. A 247lbs buck I shot with a bow in the middle of october! Even at almost twenty years ago i still havent forgot how good eating he was! :) :)

I don't doubt it, their are just so many variables to help that, hang time, temps, habitat, food, I could go on but you get the idea. These were just all from pretty much the same places with same hangtimes.
