Worst meat I've personally had was right after a kill nad put on the grill. Tenderloins of a young deer. HORRIBLY TOUGH
If you'd waited 6 hrs before cutting it off the corpse, it would likely have been the tenderest meat you've ever eaten. I've made that mistake, too. I cut some loin chops from a fresh kill and cooked them immediately. They were unchewable.
