I really think that depends on the person. I myself have never eaten a bad elk and that is from old bull to cows. But, I don't mind eating mule deer either yet there are a lot of hunters around here who do not like the meat at all. Run into the same with antelope. Some people won't eat them yet I think they are the most succulent meat for my area (ok tough go between them and elk).
The antelope complaint is people say they taste too much like sage. Lots of farms in my area so they have better choices than sage as a sole diet. Mule deer complaint is they are too gamey.
