No I'm not joking, if it's old and dry you'll need to leave each pellet in your mouth for a few minutes and roll it round to let the saliva rehydrate it to release the flavor properly.

Only two or three pellets should be enough to be able to tell.

Deer browse leafy trees and grass whereas goats like gorse thristles, blackberry and that harder kinda stuff. The flavour will be quite obvious and you will have your answer.
