I've seen some youtube types who show clean bones like they've been gone over with dermestid beetles.

I tasted some yummy leg meat tournedos tonight marinated in olive oil and Old Bay and some Balsamic vinegar. lightly cooked to 140 very tender, no stinky boy game taste. Bucks are not Billy goats.
I haven't done a lot of big carcass butchering, but for marinating meat you can use more of that stuff than you'd want showing up in a steak. We had a professional butcher neighbor who did basement butchering when I was a kid. I wish I'd have paid more attention...
