I have killed managed White Tails that had a diet of alfalfa and winter rye. Very tasty over the acorn dieted national forest deer. The meat had a grassy smell and the noses of the deer were green.
OTOH, I shot a two year old dry cow a few years later, and the meat was like veal.
Fair enough, but the fact remains that there used to be another one that was hunted to extinction because of a preference for the meat.Well actually there are three species of elk in North America, Rocky Mountain Elk, Tule Elk and the Roosevelt Elk.
