All of the above responses are good ones. Some had me ROTFLOL too.
Especially Hot Core's simulated venison.
One more thing to add. You need to take the deer to be processed by a butcher that knows how to process deer the right way. I quiz the butcher before I will let him cut up my hard won venison. If they use a saw in any of their processing that is a point against them. Do they brush off the bone chips if they use a saw (which I don't like in the first place). If they leave any tallow (not even a speck) on the final cuts of meat that is enough to not have them do it. Deer tallow left on the meat is what gives it the gamey taste so often associated with venison. I have processed my own before but there's nothing like watching a trained and experienced professional do something that he does day in and day out compared to what you might only do once a year. The end product will be something you will enjoy if done right.
