I agree Bowriter you can taste the difference in the sex and would go even futher and say the region killed in. I have shot deer in Wyoming and shot deer in Tennessee and you can dang sure tell a difference.

i would not mind the earn a buck, some places probably need it just so hunters will take some does but for some of you guys in east TN that only see a few deer in a year i can see why you would not want it and my hat is off to you guys cause i dont know that i would even hunt if i only saw 4 or 5 deer during the whole season

This is definitely not the norm in all of East TN. I hunt unit B quite a bit and I pass on literally dozens of young bucks every year, and have for many years now. There are areas here that still could use population growth for sure, but most of East TN is getting to have a very healthy deer herd. Anybody that is only seeing 4 or 5 deer a year is either hunting very little, or in the wrong way, IMO anyway! Unit B also has some verey good hunting for mature bucks as well.

Other than fawns, as long as the meat is processed well, I can't tell the difference between sexes or ages. Two weeks in a walk-in cooler and even the oldest rutted-up buck will have the consistancy and taste of a young doe.
Now I CAN tell the difference in deer from different areas due to what they have been eating (acorn-fed versus corn-fed).

deer meat dos not all taste the same and you'll never convince me of that.
I have thrown buck meat away because I could not eat it. maybe it's an age thing or a rut thing or whatever, but I will never pay to process anything with antlers again.....
We eat two-three deer a year and none are bucks......

X3! I've also had buck meat that I couldn't eat. Doe meat is by far the best and I know from my own experience. I put 2 does in the freezer for my family and donate anything with horns and any extra does I take.
