In my opinion, the biggest factor, right above how much stress the animal goes through right before death (running for example), is the status of the animal. Bucks during the rut are all full of hormones and the meat tastes "goaty". Younger deer are more tame tasting than older deer. Does are more tame tasting than bucks, unless it's a real young buck and a real old doe. I don't even shoot big bucks anymore. I hunt for the meat and the love of the hunt, so I shoot second season bucks and does, and the meat tastes live veal. It's amazing.
