Might be referring to gaminess, I think it tends to put off people who are used to modern beef or lamb. It's still present in venison as they are less domestic

Might be referring to gaminess, I think it tends to put off people who are used to modern beef or lamb. It's still present in venison as they are less domesticated / more active than domestic cattle or sheep. I like it but it's definitely not to everyones taste (pun intended).
