what do you prefer? WT or Mule?

I prefer Mule Deer, I think they taste better and as a trophy they are a much more impressive animal. I also find them more enjoyable to hunt.
 
I have eaten good and not-so-good samples of all 3 of our native deer, Whitetails, Blacktails and Muleys.

I hunt mostly where both Whiteys and Muleys eat alfalfa, grain and canola.

They all taste great before the rut!

I believe that in general, Muleys are a bit easier to hunt, but a big old buck can still be plenty elusive.

Regardless, I eat whichever species happens to get tagged by my bullet....just not particularly fussy.

Regards, Dave.
 
we can't take a mule deer here in SE MB, but I sure wouldn't mind tasting a bite, just to compare the taste. Some one mentioned that it is stronger. Is that stronger in the wild taste? If so, then I'm sure I'd chose grain fed WT.
 
I think both mulies and whitetails are eqaully good if not taken during the rut....a big old dominant mulie buck during the peek of the rut is pretty much inedible. It sucks big time when the only open hunting season is during the rut if your primary hunting purpose is to put meat in the freezer.
 
I can't even tell the difference when I'm eating antlerless animals. Dont mind eating muley bucks one bit, but I'll take forest whitetail first. Everyone's always about grain fed, grain fed prairie deer. I've always preferred the taste of bush whitetails myself.

yeah, but you're a bush man through and through!:p. I think there is much more of a wild taste to them and perhaps even a stronger smell to the meat. Give me a grain fed prairie deer, any day!
 
There are excellent prairie grain fed mulies at Prince Rupert, BC. You just have to know where to find them. Hint: Usually on the coal piles at RTI resting between meals of sprouted export quality prairie wheat at PRG.
