All things equal, which do you prefer to eat?
Can you tell the difference in taste between the two?
I have both in the freezer.....there is no discernable difference to my taste bids.
This is what I have noticed and I think antelope is superior, yet you will have all sorts of guys turn their noses up at both mule deer and antelope...
I think the folks who turn up their nose @ antelope have been guilty of treating it the same they would a deer in Nov. @ 90+ degrees, wrap it up in a blue tarp with the hide on, strap it to the yuppie-rack stuck in the receiver hitch, spend another day and a half cruising gravel roads and infusing diesel smoke into the now rotting carcass under the blue plastic tarp.
I don't really notice a flavor difference between whitetail and mule deer, but, where I typically hunt, both are feeding in harvested grain fields or alfalfa for the most part.
