Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada 2023 Deer Season

Let's bump this up.

I don't have pictures, but we are having cabbage rolls stuffed with moose tonight.

Right on Steve !

Looks great.

Moose tongue sandwiches with chimichurri and homemade focaccia bread.

Awesome, Jordan.

My old neighbour, used to keep all the deer tongues, fron the deer butchered in his shop.

Cook them up as 1 large batch.

I'm not that extreme, but we do keep hearts & liver.

Deconstructed tacos !!

This is what was left of a grouse breast prepared in a sweet and sour sauce. I bit into a piece of No 6 shot, but no harm done. If you look close, you can see the hole made by the shot and what's left of a feather coming out. The rest was eaten without incident.

Served on Deb's focaccia, SOS style !



Tastes way better, than it looks !

Just got the good news that the WTB I shot in Dec on the Wainwright base was negative for CWD so deer heart will be on the menu tomorrow.

Now to partial thaw, cut, grind and re-wrap the bags of meat. The meat is currently separated in 3 bags -- grind only and two of cuts for steaks & roasts.

Glad for you Hugh !!!!!!!!

This backstrap section was from the neck end, more chain meat & different grains, so cooked it rarer than normal !

Deb had the medium rare ends & I had the almost blue, center.

Seasoned with salt only & hard seared & rested.



Marvelously delicious !

Deer burgers - feta chunks, chopped parsley & chili flakes, no other binders.

Caramelized onions & mushrooms, finished with seeded mustard & balsamic glaze.



Nice multigrain ciabatta bun.



Perfect cook.

Used the last of the pulled deer neck roast, for nachos !

Morning my friend, I hope you're all getting this bit of a reprieve from winter like we are and you're well.

Upon further reflection, the downside of the balmy weather is that no ice fishing has taken place or is planned at all this year for us. The ice is much too suspect for that sort of tomfoolery.

Anyways sir, to the heart of the matter, which reminds me I need to take some photos when the SIL and I do up the frozen hearts - but - once more the food photos are stunning.

They are always so colorful and well composed - sincere kudos for that.

Somehow too Paul, and that again confirms the opinion of much of my family that I'm 5/4ths carnivore, I can sit here and view them with a full stomach from breakfast and salivate madly!!!

Those burgers man!!!!

Well the day's tasks beckon and I shall head their call, but wanted to say thanks once more.

Have a good one!

Dwayne

Paul do you ever do anything with the neck other than pulled deer? I kept the neck as one piece off of this past season's deer and as it is quite large I can get 2 or 3 good sized roasts (bone in) out of it.

Normally I debone and gind but I would like to try a few different things.

First up will be the easiest -- crock pot pulled deer for sandwiches.

Hugh;
Good morning sir, I hope your side of the big hills is getting decent weather and you're all well.

Not Paul of course and if what he says differs from what I do, please go with his recommendations.

For reasons I cannot explain, up until a couple years back I just never tried to do pulled venison.

Now it's become one of my "go to" meals, especially if I've got a busy day planned and just want something ready when we both land back at the end of it.

Yesterday in fact was an eye of round thrown into a crock pot in the morning with nothing other than whatever BBQ sauce is open in the fridge.

We'll have it on whatever fresh, decent looking buns the local grocery store in the Falls has, then mayo, onions and shredded cabbage or lettuce.

It's simple and to us very tasty.

Buddy likes his neck roasts and does them like any other venison roast.

The crock pot pulled stuff makes for such easy left over meals that I've gone that direction more and more.

All the best and bon appetite regardless of how you prepare it.

Wannabebwana (Marty) suggested keeping bone in neck roasts, if I wasn't worried about CWD, which we are not - as he stated they are great for soups.

So, I do have 3 bone in neck roasts in the freezer, which we haven't got to yet !

Think I'll smoke one, in the summer & then finish in the oven or crock pot, too.

Up to date, they have been slow cooked & pulled, then used in a variety of ways.

Morning Dwayner !!

Thanks Mate.

Lots of ice here, but bugger all snow.

In fact, my tundra is still covered & sitting on it's storage pallets.

I have not been on the ice yet, although Doug has made several voyages, on his quad.



At least he has given us a couple of feeds.

Dwayne is correct, as usual, pulled meat is supper versatile !

We use it, many ways;

sandwiches/buns
add leftovers to burger style chili
on toast, topped with fried eggs
tacos
nachos

More, I'm sure, but won't come to mind !
