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

I do as well!

Darn, that meatloaf will get a try on my Traeger as well. Thanks for the reminder!

Dad used to say that if he had to have a “last meal” it would be fried backstrap, mashed potatoes and gravy and biscuits.

Mmm. Backstrap.

Thought that was bolognese ragu initially.

You mean, like this 1 ?

I like your dad!

👍

Yeah, me too !!

Except for the straps and tenderloins I turn all of mine into hamburger. Store bought ground beef tastes terrible to us now.

I do about 85% of this. I do like having roasts to turn into jerky. I used to cook them in the crock-pot, but I couldn't, for the life of me, make it so it wasn't dry.

Dittos for me..

Dad said if you are not going to eat it don’t kill it. Since I’m the only one in the house that eats it 1 deer is enough for me. Stew, burger, cutlets, steaks suite me fine. By the time May comes it’s gone and I move on to turkey then fish. I’m eating something I captured about 2-3 times a week.

Deer rump Marsala;





Had to add 1/2 cup of full cream, as there wasn't enough sour cream.



Amazing flavour !

Looks good 99. My wife just wont cook it , and I am no cook so it mostly goes to burger. I am getting tired of burger though..

Lots of great recipes using burger, too !

Deb's famous deer burger helper, last night !!



We sure love this meal, easy, tasty & always left overs for a couple of lunches !

I have eaten deer 3 suppers out of the last 5 nights. Had marinated loin steaks tonight sauteed with mushrooms.

Once I started grinding all of the meat and adding a bit of Boston butt for some fat, I've found that I'm out of meat by mid-summer of thereabouts. Never worry about some cut of meat being forgotten in the freezer. We use it in place of ground beef for everything.

Slow cooked, pulled venison in biscuit cups, with fresh fresno chili & melted havarti !!

Great stuff!

Made another pot of venison spaghetti last Friday. One small serving left for today's lunch!

I use ground for jerky. Easier on the teeth and accepts the spices much better.
