I have only had that happen once. One of the biggest bodied bucks I ever shot, an old buck with regressing horns. I don't mean to be gross, but when the meat cooked it smelled like it was marinated in [bleep] ... my apartment smelled like a very, very busy whorehouse. Even the jerky was foul. I added cheap rum and pepper flakes to the brine. For the meat I cooked, I poured chipotle tabasco on it and used that for a searing sauce, then put a lot of garlic salt on it. I was not fully successful, to say "better" might be too optimistic, but I'd say it was less bad.
