Feed can make a big difference. Years ago my brother and I shot 2 mulie does. High mountains, in snow, we skinned them immediately and got them cooled. We did it all by the book. They were both inedible. The meat was too strong to eat. It stunk up the kitchen when cooking. Even my garbage gut lab wouldn't eat it, literally. We ended up throwing it all away. There was something they'd been eating that gave it a horrible taste and smell.
