Seriously though deer steaks cooked rare with a nice sear on the outside are pretty good. Venison sausage and beef sticks are good. That's about all I get. I just take the stuff my brother doesnt have room for in his freezer.

Venison changes flavor depending on where it comes from. Midwest deer taste the "best" to non-game eaters because has been eating corn and wheat its entire life. Deer from the north east, like Michigan, have been eating a lot of pine and its a totally different taste. Western deer eat a ton of shrubbery, which again is a totally different taste.

After you have enough of it, you can usually tell what state a deer came from just by taste. To me, Southern Illinois, Indiana and Iowa deer will always taste best

[Anonymous No.8238675]

>>8238656
>always taste best

Meaning like beef, because of a primarily corn diet? No thanks. The deer I get in the midsouth have a lot of acorn in their diets and I like that unique gameyness you get from it.

Distateful gameyness comes from not field dressing promptly or a poor marksman gutshooting the deer.

When it comes to hunting deer, venison can end up costing more then Kobi beef, after you add up all the associated costs of going hunting; guns and bows, ammo and arrows, beer, food, hunting property, feed plots and bait, RV camper, "scent free" clothes, GoreTex boots, various gee-whizz gadgets guaranteed to get a Boone & Crockett buck and so on.

My man!

Just polished off a bowl of some homemade venison chili myself. Great stuff, can never be happy with beef when you've got venison chili.

Also as to the idiot who thinks deer hunting is expensive: What do you think a guy goes out in the woods with all this expensive gear and uses it once, then tosses it away? Yeah it can get expensive because hunting is a hobby.

Here's an example of how cheap it is. My dad has been hunting since 1978 when he met his mother and gained access to private farm property. He bought a Remington 1100, the best semi-automatic shotgun that I can say from experience, for $250. He wears coveralls to maintain his heat and bought a $100 vest. Ammo is cheap when you know where to buy it from and when to buy it. Also, he's a dead eye marksman with the thing. In my hunting group, my father puts down more deer than the rest of us combined in most seasons. Best year we had on record was 2012, when I shot two, he shot 10, and the other five guys shot one apiece. It was a big year for deer in the area so the DNR were selling antlerless tags like hot cakes. We had so much deer meat it lasted the entire year with deer on the menu at least twice a week.

Only an idiot city shit will say deer hunting is expensive. It's because the jack holes buy expensive guns and gear, go out of state hunting which increases the price of a tag ten times, and go to plots of land specifically designed so a city shit could nab himself a tame deer in a blissful afternoon without any effort. Those places also cost an arm to hunt on.

He's not field cleaning it properly. Though skunky bucks add a shit ton of gameyness to the flavor venison. The only time it tastes gamey is if he busted the gut and let it sit in the cavity for awhile before washing it out.

I don't understand 'gamey-ness' when it comes to venison. White tail, mule, axis, moose and elk all taste like sweeter beef to me.
I've eaten some backwards ass raccoon, opossum, coyote, etc which I assume tasted 'gamey' due how fucking shit it is. Greasy, earthy, sometimes almost copper-like. Never tasted that with cervines.

It's not inherently an expensive hobby, that anon was right.
Where I'm from, for some people it's a way of life and feeding your family in the winter, these are usually the same people you see hunting rabbit and fishing in the woods. These are also the same people who don't really need to buy expensive gear and gadgets or a new cameo suit every season, they just have one or a few rifles/bows and an orange jacket in the closet somewhere and only have to buy a license and tags every season. People who hunt for sport and trophies are one thing are one thing, but the majority just hunt simply with the information they learned from uncles and fathers.
There's less people who do it now of course, but most people have at least two or three family members who are hunters.
Guns aren't even hard to come by either, and I live in Canada where there's apparently "no guns".

This isn't 1816 anymore and unless you're poaching extensively, the 3 deer you're legally allowed to get per season (here in Michigan, assuming you fill your tag) isn't enough to feed a family.

[Anonymous No.8240656]

Oh I fucking love venison. Moose is also quite good. Like beef but with a slightly tougher texture due to being so muscled, though I find it to be a rather pleasant quality in moose because it's given a sort of chewiness (particularly in goulash) as opposed to tough beef (which usually sucks).

Also no hormones, free range and eats exactly what it's meant to. Healthy as all fuck.

[Anonymous No.8240659]

>>8240627
I figure it ain't feeding a large family completely, but you might be surprised what a good butcher can get off of even a rather small deer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKscFghXQwI

And if you get a good roe sized animal, or even three https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn0f5QtSLsI
That's not an insignificant amount of meat

Again, not likely to feed an entire family just on that, but if it's just you out there, you could put up a lot of your meat consumption with a few deer bags

[Anonymous No.8240691]

>>8240627
Do you not hunt with your family?
I hunt near the Mecosta Osceola line.
Between myself, my wife, and a friend who lives with me, we usually average 6 or 7 deer.
Even 2 deer can last quite a while if your butcher knows what they're doing.
Between deer, fowl, and small game (which are mostly year round,) you can feed yourself pretty well.

[Anonymous No.8240734]

I tend to associate my venison with the spicy/savory breakfast variety. Or with some gravy and fresh fruit.
Shooting them out in Piedres Negras I guess might have something to do with that.
Either way: literal freezer full of venison working on since last winter.

great if it's genuinely hunted fresh. I had an uncle growing up who would send us some venison yearly and it was amazing, so i tried getting some from the store but it was terrible.

Deer meat is nice since it has a subtler game taste than other wild animals. It's not as strong (generally). Very balanced and great to make into a stew or even a burger. Universal, really.

The vast majority of deer hunters are not taking 300 yard shots and if they are, they’re dumbasses.

> Thinks some of us don't own land where the deer can literally be shot from the back porch.

That’s nice, but most people do not own hunt-able land and thus in fact do hunt on state/Fed lands.

Yeah, you’re a regular Grizzly Adams but the vast majority of hunters are not and just want to bag a buck in the couple of weekends they have free from the bitching wife and screaming kids and that means spending money on gear and such that will (hopefully) get them a deer.

Lots of people use campers and RVs for deer hunting, my buddy just bought pic related last year, exclusively for deer hunting on 40 leased acres up in Michigan’s Thumb that he pays $1600 per year for.

> > nobody who is into deer hunting does it on the cheep

I’m 49 years old, son. I did deer hunting in tents and pop-up campers and RVs and like damn near everybody who deer hunts, continued to up-grade the quality and comfort of my hunting experiance as finances allowed.

I don't get to eat venison too much, but I have to say it's probably the most ethical meat there is.

Here in New Jersey they're a serious problem, I totaled my car one night (wasn't drunk or speeding) because a deer literally ran in front of my car and then straight into it. And they have a chance to live wild and free before hunters get to them. No guilt of an animal that lived its entire life in a cramped area. I think hunting is pretty humane, and kinda necessary. I want to eat wild boar for the same reason.

And on top of that it's delicious too.
