Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting We all love hunting, but who loves eating Venison ?

RIGHT !

What you got for temps, at the moment Paul ?

We're in a week of around -30*C ambient & cutting -40*C, with wind chill.

Definitely hearty, comfort food weather !

Same here.

I don't really save any venison for burger. Anything that isn't a "cut" goes for jerky or kielbasa.

Usually we smoke it in early spring, this year I have enough for about 100 rings. Should be plenty for the year.

Never done kielbasa.. That I could like a bunch as well.

Some of the best non-ungulate meat I've
had was when the gates were flung open at
an emu ranch by a friend's place during the
boom/bust of raising emus.
They were running around wild for a few
months and more than a few were the guest
of honor for a few suppers.
Makes really tasty spaghetti and a good
hamburger

I know of a few people that hunt every year
and pay the money for processing their deer,
only to have it sit in the freezer for months on
end until they get tired of moving it around to
make room for the hot pockets and red barron
pizzas and toss it if it's old, or give it away

It's a sin

Around here, everyone has their own kielbasa recipe. Some people are pretty protective of theirs. I like a strong smoke flavor and not to much fat. My favorite is just sliced thin and cooked over a campfire.

If you have a method or recipe you'd care to share, I'd be all ears Ben. I love the stuff.

No problem, i'll find it.

Thank you Ben!

Love the sharing & caring, Fellas !

To me, that's part of why I started this thread.

Thank you.

Cabbage home grown by a family at our church, home made loaded mashed taters, and deer sausage for Sunday lunch.

Nice !

Saturday supper, only things on the plate, not off our land, are the broccoli & mushrooms !

Looks delicious!

i have been saving my back straps these days for shish ke-bobs and vegetables on the grill on skewers i use vinaigrette dressing the venison back straps tender meat really takes seasoning well .

Some delicious looking eats here!!!

My family loves eating venison. We never buy beef, but eat wild game year round. My kids get excited on venison steak night. A couple years ago, I took my youngest and middle one camping. Decided to go all out an buy some premium beef steaks and grill them at camp. My kids aren't usually picky eaters, so after getting on them for picking at their steaks for 20 mins, my 10 year old daughter finally looks up, very sincerely and says "We're just not beef kids dad".... Talk about a proud dad moment!!!! LOL

Yeah, that's priceless !

Hunting in a five deer county where the ranch manages numbers pretty hard, we make a good bit of ground venison. Anywhere from 80/20 to 70/30 mix of straight venison and some beef fat. I know a lot guys may call that sacreligious but it’s what makes the whole family happy, my chief cook especially.

Of course chicken fried backstrap is always king.
I’ve done a few roasts but I gotta be careful with those, they can be dry.

Deconstructed tacos !!
