John I have been lucky. Only ever had the one "bad" elk and my whitetails and mule deer have been excellent...even those big bodied bucks from way up in Alberta which have been some of the best.
Schrapnel is right about antelope. I have never had a bad one, the meat being very mild and tender for me, despite being killed in warmer weather. But I always tried to take good care of it and cool and protect it.
