Like any food item, how it is handled and prepared has a huge factor. As too may the animals diet. If they've been eating alot a pine, the flavour may go Spruce-esque and so forth. If someone had one poorly cooked (essentially a combination of partially burnt and partially raw) over open flame, such as a campfire, I could see how they may not like it.
Also, people who prefer the taste of farmed meats to that of wild animals could potentially take exception to the flavour. I recommend a good long soak in a brine or marinade for any such folks.
