Yes, our deer are, typically, large bodied, but not necessarily huge antlers - Bush bucks. Here is a couple off heavy bucks ! Best rack; Biggest body;

Best rack; Biggest body; Extreme cold temps have energy focused on body fat vs antler size. I also bet some of those antlers would appear larger if they were on a smaller bodied deer.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Usually put 3 deer in the freezer, decided to get another doe tag for the January doe season and make some summer sausage later on. Got the doe hanging last week, then the cold spell hit. It's been below zero for several nights with highs in single digits. May be awhile before I can cut up and grind that meat.

Smoked venison meatloaf ain't half bad......This particular one happens to be Axis venison.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Not recent, but a picture I kept from last yr I believe. Young deer that I kept some hindquarter steaks out of. I grilled them and my wife made some very good scallops for a surf and turf meal.

I prefer venison to most meats, just cut out the fat. I had a total of 50 foster kids. The state paid zip for the upkeep of those kids. I had 6 in the house at one time, plus three of my kids, wife, brother-in-law and mother-in-law. I shot 6 does one year and we had venison until nearly summer. My mother-in-law bought some beef. For dinner that night my wife made a fuss. "Oh yech, this is some of that venison you're always trying to feed us." My mother-in-law had the biggest laugh over that. "You've been eating venison every supper since early November, this is the first beef you've had in over 6 months. My wife didn't reply.

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

My wife's version of Haluski with deer burger. Good stuff.

Had this about 10 days ago. Can't get any simpler to make. Deer neck roast in the crock pot with potatoes, carrots, and onions. Salt and pepper both sides, cut up vegetables, little bit of water and broth. 4 hrs on high, and about 20 minutes or so turned down on low. Pull apart fork tender. Delicious.
