Whitetail vs. Muleys

Think everyone is right on the money here. Depending on what they have been feeding on, has always determined how we prepare the meat. Sometimes you have to utilize alot of buttermilk and then sometimes lemon juice.

Yep, he is a muley! Only deer I've ever shot have been mule deer, I've ate some white tail though and couldn't really tell a difference on it compared to my mule deer.

Compare the racks of a Mule and White tail and you will see alot of difference not to mention the whole deer. Growing up with mule deer I sure don't have a problem distinguishing the two. The one time I've hunted white tail on my buddies property, he wanted me to take mature does and 3 points or better on the bucks. I wound up not really shooting at any thing because I never found a buck I wanted to shoot, and the deer looked so different from what I was used to I couldn't age the does very well. Overall I found NY deer to be much smaller than what I'm used to.
 
If you take an antelope BEFORE it has a chance to run, it will taste great; otherwise, not so much. I used to hunt in northern NV - the deer eating bitter brush were OK, the ones we would take as they came off a farmer's alfalfa fields were much better tasting - depends on whether you were hunting for horns or the freezer
