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

Got a link to the full recipe? Or text me

Ate pan fried cube steak smothered in gravy tonight.....It was delicious............BTW on those older deer. If you hang them in the cooler for a week before processing you'll be surprised how tender they can get........I have my own cooler/grinder/cuber. I process my own.

This is a venison French rack, my son does these up for Christmas Eve supper.
Totally superb!

Interesting. How does he get that cut exactly? No butcher and I normally cut out the blackstraps and tenderloins separately and don’t do a lot with the ribs. That looks damn good and worth the foresight to make a different cut.

I’m lukewarm about venison but that looks awesome.

I and my family really like venison, and now antelope too. Most people who don't like venison have eaten venison that wasn't taken care of properly after the kill and or was not cooked properly. I make our venison med rare and it is tender and delicious. I also have my butcher hang my deer for 5 or 6 days before he butchers it. If I didn't like venison I would not hunt deer.

Why even hunt if you don’t eat it? Serves no purpose otherwise.

Must be democRat

Just had a venison burger omelet, cheese grits and wheat toast

Fixing to have venison sausage with breakfast if I can get off my backside and cook.

BOOM, Cat !!

Sometimes I don't use the game I kill myself, but give it to others who need or want it. A sin for some of you clowns I suppose. But I have done it for over 60 years and will continue.

Elk, deer and antelope, for us and the dogs.

You're good with me Hazen !

You & I go aways back !

Thanks, 99. I used to give several antelope each year to an old couple who really probably had very little money. I had them skinned, ready to process when they were ready. They would tell me in early summer how many packages they had left till next season. I would always get a couple doe license for them. They are long gone now with most of my old timer friends. Now I guess I am the old timer, but fortunately, I can still get out and fill the freezer. Thanks again 99.

How I used to be.

Bud and I killed 18 deer one season. Towards the end I was giving them to a guy who had a bunch of kids and little $$.

Nothing wrong with that. That's pretty darned American.

PA has a program called hunters sharing the harvest. It alows hunters to donate deer to the program in conjunction with butcher shops that partivipate in the program, The hunters pays a small butcher fee and the butcher cuts and wraps the meat and gives it to the program who distributes the meat to the needy. When I was still on the job I had a list of needy folks that I would give road killed deer that were not very damaged and illegally taken and confiscated venison to. At one point in time I would give road kills crop damaged killed deer to the county prison. They were handy in the summer when deer did not last long without refrigeration and they were open 24 hours, I would pull up to the gate and announce game officer with a deer in to thespeaker on the wall and the outside gate would open, I would drive in and it would cose and the inside barbed wire gate would open and I went in. They would send prisoners out to get the deer and skin it and take it to the galley. The prisoners would be cheering out the windows because they like the venison. The prison ground most of it because they could make man meals out of ground meat. There came a time when there was a problem on an army base in the area and they had too many deer on the area and regular hunting could not be done so sharpshooters were going to reduce the herd . I got a call asking me how many deer I could get ris of. I called the prison warden and asked him how many deer he could handle. He aske me to come to his office. I did and he sadly told me that labor and industry had come into the prison to do an inspection and found over 100 lbs of meat labled venison. The told him they could not feed meat that was not government inspected to the prisoners, he apoligised and said he was not allowed to take deer any longer. Our goverment at work!
