Deer Meat...

[GoBucks89]

Venison stew, venison chops, venison steaks.....yum!

venisin is very good and a lot better for you than beef. if you liked that you should most certainly try buffalo. buffalo steak puts any steak regardless of the cut to shame imo.

I've eaten it, but I don't eat it on a regular basis. Pretty good stuff though.

My buddy's mom used to make meatballs out of deer. Good stuff.

She ever partake in your Schweaty balls? I hear it is a secret family recipe.

I make some damn good deer BBQ and deer hash. Just take that front shoulder and boil the hell out of it, it's all in the seasoning after that.

Hate Venison..But Luv it when made into Little Sausages/Hot Stickes

I had a caribou steak in Quebec this fall and it was outstanding. Never had venison, though.

I grew up in a hunting family. Between ages of 8 and 18 I probably ate more deer meat than beef. Yum.

Ditto.

Depends on where you kill them. You current midwesterners get deer that eat corn, soybean, apples and such. Down here in Dixie they eat anything green which isn't always good. Not much meat on the bone, you get a backstrap and some hams. If we kill it we eat and I used to live on the stuff when I was a teen. We turn most of it into sausage down here.

I lost the last 5 lbs of brauts we had made in Ohio due to the hurricane. No deer meat for me for awhile.:(

Deer up in the Rockies have that sage tone to the meat for similar reasons. You are what you eat I guess.

One interesting thing about it being pretty good for you, when Mad Cow ran rampant through UK herds there was a huge upturn in demand for all manner of other red meat. Venison in particular got a big market.

As for do I, yep. Like the steaks, some jerked bambi is good, friend of mine does it really well. Bambi Chili works well also.

Add to the exotic meats mentioned like Bison, Alligator is fine when spiced and done like a jerky. Ostrich is actually special, works well with a Bernaise sauce.

A Nordic college friend told me that whale was much like good steak, but I never tasted that.

Venison sausage is outstanding! Low fat compared to pork sausage and very tasty.
Venison steaks I'm not wild about.

I'll eat tomatoes, but shit is out of the question...

I'm just the opposite, I hate tomatoes.

I love deer meat.

My dad has hunted for ever so we always go a lot of deer meat.

This year he got some summer sausage with Jalapenos and Cheese. Now that is some good stuff.

Bison is awesome... but that's a whole other thing.

I'll second (or third) the bison/buffalo thumbs-up, good stuff. Good enough that I'd think about taking a chomp out of one of them in an open field. :chompy:

Hey, I don't hunt, but I am an omnivore. Besides, biting a buffalo, er 'tuhtanka' is sporting, I bet.

Here's to ordering steaks "black and blue", and having to explain to the wait help what that means.

wildebeest is the best tasting meat I've ever eaten (tho it requires a lot of chewing). Ate it at the carnivore. (best perk ever from being stranded in Kenya).
