To the one who suggested elk: yup, love it.
Not on the table for this hunt though!
We will be hunting in October, probably earlier in October (MT would be first two weeks of Oct),
Our NH whitetails feed on acorns and beechnut primarily. There is absolutely 0 marbling in the meat, just deep red color and yummy.
Either way, this should be a fun trip!
thanks for the input
Less fat = less flavor and a tougher cut of meat. We call deer like that "stew" and "burger".
I've eaten my share of NH deer, mostly from Belknap, Carroll, Coos, Grafton, and Sullivan Counties. Also a few ME deer from Cumberland, Oxford, and Someret Counties. And a few more VT deer from Caledonia, Essex, Orange, Rutland, and Windsor Counties. Most of the Essex county deer were shot from across the Connecticut River in Monroe, NH. 300+/- yard across the river, but about a 25 mile drive in those days before cellular phones.
