I've shot a lot of deer over the years and never gave those glands a thought. Many wild animals have some sort of musk glands besides deer. I've eaten a lot of muskrat also, years back. In fact, Muskrat legs used to be some in some food stores as "marsh rabbit."
I never hang my deer like some do. That just gives it a gamey taste for whatever reason. Some people seem to want it gamey, and others just want to hang to show off.
When I shoot a deer (at least when I used to), I skin it, quarter it, and then throw the big chunks into a chest freezer to make it firm up. Then later, cut it up. Very often, other then being lean, it tastes just like beef. Let it hang for a few days, and the taste changes a lot.
I don't shoot them anymore. Kind of like seeing them alive better. Had a big buck walk right up to me this morning, out of breath and looking pretty confused. I suspect some sort of big game season opened today, and the bucks are starting to run around.
