::in a teasing sing song voice:: that's cause you lubs me

and I know which thread is which gramps... Oh I got deer meat, it just isn't steaks :( I want the steaks

I cannot stand deer meat.. it gags me. Don't know why, it always has a horrible gamey taste everytime I have eaten it. Like lamb.

I however LOVE.

Elk
Moose
BEAR BURGERS.. YUM
Buffalo
Llama (yes I have eaten llama, his name was rampage, and he became meat for a reason)
Shark, OH I love the shark meat. Jerkey, steaks.. Can't eat it that often though. Too much mercury.

Well, of course. But usually (at least in slaughter houses) they cut the animal when it's alive to take out the guts. It's dead when it's cut up.
Even with hunting, it's hard to imagine what the animals go through. Hunters don't always hit the head or heart so the animal goes through alot of pain and is still alive when it's cut open.

You have never witnessed anything that really happens in a slaughter house have you? I have and the animals are DEAD before they touch them.;). Now the hunter part.If the hunter loves the meat after the kill he does make sure its a clean kill ;).I know several hunters that will set in a blind all day before they even think about pulling a trigger or release a arrow.The reason is because they wait for the one shot = clean kill.

I would take a humanely shot, drop-dead deer over a slaughtered cow anyday. I know that all hunters are not pros, and it takes time to learn. But real hunters want a clean kill. In terms of profit, this means less damage to the meat and the deer hide, which can either be sold to a furrier or self-tanned for a neat trophy. But a real woodsman/woodswoman feels a connection to nature and a deep respect for their quarry.. a fast kill is paramount.
I could go on about the benefits of hunting on deer populations. It thins the herd, as natural predators once did before we killed most of them off.

I totaly agree! :gj:

Joe, I joined 3 different freecycle groups around me and havent had any luck with any free deer meat. I'm still searching relentlessly. :8:

I am pretty lucky...My step dad hunts and does very well every year. He grew up in West by God Virginia and had a gun in his hand, huntin for dinner at quite an early age. He takes hunting very serious as it was a way of survival for him. Anyho....he is a pretty dang good hunter. He gives me lots of deer meat to keep me happy. My husbands friends all hunt also so we get meat from them too.

I don't really care what piece of the deer you get or how old it is...If you marinade it long enough with the right ingredients..ugghhhh.....It will melt in your mouth! It is my favorite meat. I also like to make deer bbq, deer stew, deer gravy.

Geesh now I am gonna have to cook some for dinner...my mouth is totally watering now.

:rolleyes:

really!?!?!?

woah...i wish you lived near me...you would love my deer gravy! It is all made from scratch and so yummy.

I make it to go over mashed potatoes or whatever...or like S.O.S.

I also like to make squirrel gravy...but not too often. I hate picking the meat off those little bones. Same goes for rabbit.

Sounds yummy! I am thinking that you'd get the juices from the meat cooking, maybe use some Gravy Master and flour?
I tried making beef gravy and failed miserably! I put way too much flour in.. it literally formed a paste..

Jen you are supposed to be able to eat it not use it for holding up wall paper :rofl:
:P

I was sitting around thinking about all this venison talk and decided to see if I could make up my own recipe using ground venison. I dont know how well this will go over with everyone else, but it was a hit here at my household except for the significant other who refused to eat it due to it being bambi instead of betsy (cow). But here is what I came up with, hope whoever tries it enjoys it.

Stuffed Green Pepper Soup with Ground Venison

2lbs - Ground Venison
1 - 16oz can Tomato Soup
1 - 14 1/2 can Italian Diced Tomatoes
2 - Cups diced Green Pepper
1 - Cup diced Onion
1 - Package of Onion Soup Mix
2 - tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1/8 to 1/4 cup - Brown Sugar (depending on sweetness desired)
2 - tsp Salt
1 - tsp Black Pepper
1/2 - tsp Oregano
1/2 - tsp Italian Seasoning
48oz - water
2 - tsp Olive Oil
1 - Jalapeno diced (Optional)
2 - Cups cooked rice

Directions:

Brown venison in 2 tsp olive oil (drain)
Add remaining ingredients, except rice. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer covered for approximately 30 minutes or until peppers are tender. Add rice and cook for an additional 10 minutes, serve and enjoy!

The daughter said the only way it could have been better is if I would have made grilled cheese sandwiches with it.
