If you hunt the right animal, there is no gamey flavor.  What you find 
is that many people who trophy hunt bring home that huge buck for the 
freezer.  That's no good.  For the freezer, you want does or young spike 
bucks.  You still have to remove glands, but you don't have to deal with 
all those gamey hormones that bucks produce in rut.  I buy very little 
beef these days.  Venison is healthier(less fat) and is free.
I do love your suggestion for that tool!
