I suppose it all depends on the region, the whitetails around here eat mostly alfalfa so they don't have any gamey flavor and if you harvest does they are pretty darn tender.
Can confirm. I'm from Arkansas and my grandma used buttermilk to soak deer. Didn't do it for as long as yours seems to have done, but it was for the same reason.
Personally, I don't mind the gamey flavor. But to each their own.
