Been living on probably 80-90% venison my entire life and never a complaint. Ive eaten dang near any way you could think of some come out better than others and some care needs to be taken because its not a piece of marbled beef, but its dang good eating.

yep, I was raised on things we killed about 95% of all the meat we consumed till I was 18 years old. About the only way I didn't care for venison was when my mom would make a shoulder roast in the oven (baked a whole shoulder on large cookie sheet), came out with a unique flavor (cross between dove & liver, which I like both) I didn't care much for it that way but still ate it ...

Normally it's shoot, gut, skin, quarter, and on ice within 1 hour of the shot. Drain the water and replace ice until you get to processing it. I've never had to soak my deer in anything after it's processed, except buttermilk and seasoned flour, and thats right before it hits the grease.




Same way we do all our deer, never had any problem. Only difference is, I don't gut a deer, haven't in yrs. Just hang up by hind legs, skin. Take off front quarters, and back straps. Gently work the bung and all down into rib cavity. Remove Tenderloins, cut spine below hind quarters, and then split them. Trim all I can for grinding. Love my venison as does the whole family.....

Because of a new diet that my wife has, we tried grilling up strips of venison on a griddle, and then mixing it in with some veggies, kind of a stir-fry way of cooking, it came out pretty good.
She seasoned it and let it marinade for a few hours first.
About a 3 on the dookie meter.

I have had an old buck or two that was a bit rank, but young bucks and does are among the finest meats. I love a simple deer steak or backstrap medallions just seared on each side and still rare in the middle with just salt, pepper, and a dash of garlic powder. I save all the fancy methods for lesser cuts of meats.

For stinky males of any type a few days in a cooler being drained often helps. Flavored brines and/or marinades help too. Chili, spaghetti sauce, or chopped with lots of BBQ sauce will hide just about anything. If all else fails the dogs will love it or you can just drop your game off at my house right up front.

YMMV,

Wade

Ok Mustafa let me see if this is correct. You don't like to hunt in the morning and you don't like deer meat. I think BMD should think about giving you a serious discount!!! roflmao

LOL ... I was thinking along those same lines ... must be doing something wrong between when the bullet leaves the rifle and it's served on the table.

and ... I don't know what dookie tastes like, nor do I care to find out ... but I do know that I would agree 100% with these sentiments relating to rocky mountain mule deer I have taken. Just a foul foul odor even with a clean shot, proper cleaning & processing ... can tell when it's being cooked, just a nasty smell and doesn't taste any better. I have been told it's due to their diet (pinion, grease wood, sage, etc.) but who knows.

I was just given some so called "Deer Chili meat" I can say its the first time I had deer that and smelled like an old goat. I think my buddy got ripped off by the processor. That's why I do it myself.


Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

He just may not care for the little game taste that deer has. Maybe if treated them the way we do fallow, it would take some of that away.
As soon as you have them skinned and quartered, put them in a extra large cooler, cover in ice and add a gallon or two of water. Drain the bloody water off every day, and add more ice and water for 3-4 days before having them processed.
Also using garlic to season wild meat when cooking, instead of salt takes away the game taste.



Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden.
Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.

Did the meat have freezer burn? sometimes it will yield that type
of tastes! if you have freezer burn just cut off that part, it will
help! My marinade if simple, HEB italian salad dressing, garlic powder,
light salt, coarse ground pepper, small amount of your favorite bbq rub,
not much, let set 24hrs prior to cooking, either bag it or covered dish,
in fridge.
I cook over hot mesquite coals, lite sear, and turn couple times til done,
NOT over cook! so many people over cook venison regardless what cuts you
have. I have had them all, doing it for 30+ yrs you know whats good or not!

Wine, beer folks can add accordingly to more flavor, old shiner bock is good
too!


cook on.......... hogflyer....

Try making deer chili....Wick Fowlers 2 Alarm, chopped sweet onion, Rotel tomaters and beer in with it.
Yep, that's pretty much my standard recipe. A dash of cinnamon too. Might add bell pepper if I'm really feelin' it.
