Title: you smell the difference....
Post by: wapiti on October 24, 2014, 08:45:00 PM
...of a big muley buck from the rut cooking it in the fry pan as compared to a grass fed whitetail. Most times I sure can! However with a little spice and used in a nice recipe instead of just frying I find it just fine! Except once the smell was way to strong to lean over a stove and cook it.

I am pretty much limited to shooting big mulie does so I do not have that problem

If you soak your venison in salt water or butter milk before you cook the meat it will neutralize a lot of the gamey taste. Whitetails get that pungent taste to when they're in rut.

I love and miss the taste of high sage muleys! Pre-seasoned! It definantly has a sweeter taste than michigan whitetails.

I was going to say high sage combined with a little ruttiness, takes some getting used to for this easterner. I have minimal experience with them and antelope, probably once in a lifetime for me but yes, I noticed it too. Maybe life will get out of the way and I can come back for another taste of fresh muley and antelope!

Roast sage-country mulie with rosemary and yellow potatoes..yum.
Corn and acorn fed whitetail,a yearling or a dry doe (rare these days)..like buttah, no matter how you cook it.

Have a mulie in the crock pot.  I soak the roast in salt water for a day or so, pouring off the water and doing it again.  This pulls some of the blood out.  Even my finicky wife will eat this mulie!
