You sound like someone that's ready to start specializing in big, mature deer. Kentucky has some whoppers, I hear. Also elk. Either one of those ought to get your juices flowing again.
I really take my meat hunting seriously these days. My ex wouldn't eat venison except in chili, but the current Mrs. Pappy likes it just fine, especially in stir-fry dishes. Beef is so dang high these days and lots of stores don't have much of a selection. I love good beef, but I've gotten pretty good at butchering and cooking venison, so most of the red meat that goes on our table is from the woods. We also catch and eat a fair amount of fish and have a freezer full of stuff from the garden and orchard. I guess we've turned into
hunter-gatherers er, gardeners.
