That's the big thing.

I haven't been hunting in a while (my kids prefer fishing, so that's what we tend to do), but my family hunts. I get a lot of deer. A few years ago, my dad went out west and hunted. I was amazed how different the meat tasted. It was bad, bad, bad. The sage brush diet changed the flavor completely.
