Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss Venison Verses Beef

MY FIL claimed that deer from where his family used to hunt in PA always tasted like pine needles.

I usually check stomach contents after cleaning for curiousity's sake. There have been some wild variations over the years (corn, soybeans, forbs & grass, even turnips once), which have never correpsonded to a change in taste. But wrt overall diet, all the deer I've taken here pretty much eat the same things - their last meal doesn't make any difference compared to what they've eaten all year long. That overall diet is pretty constant, I believe.
