The Muley I shot last year has a bit of a rutty smell to it while raw, but is really quite delicious. It was taken from The Great Basin on 10/2, from a bachelor group, before the rut. Even my wife keeps commenting how it tastes so much like beef. We had a Mississippi pot roast last night that was killer. Can't wait for a leftover hero (hoagie/sub/whatever) for lunch.
Good timing for this thread. Just received the mount home yesterday. Gotta love those sinister eyebrows!
