Had venison loin chops tonight

Colorado Redneck · February 14, 2015, 09:29 PM

They were delicious! The deer we been eating the last couple of years has been Eastern Colorado mulie does. They are the best venison I have eaten in my life. I grew up in Western 'Colorado and the deer graze a lot of sage brush in that area. I liked venison from the first time I had some (maybe 6 years old). This grass fed deer is better. Yum!!! Wish everybody could experience this kind of natural clean meat.

Corn fattened young of the year whitetail doe is as good as it gets..... sure, they may only weigh 100 lbs, but it's the best meat and where I hunt, they have been giving out bonus tags for years- just shoot 3 or 4!

How did you cook it?

Never ate Mule Deer. Experience tells me the quicker any wild game animal is fully butchered & wrapped the better concerning its frying pan taste.

I agree there . But sage is one of the worst diets. I had some wonderful pronghorn but it was raised in a wheat field. Typical would be a sage diet .

you should try corn fed whitetail... even better. generally I don't like grass fed. I usually hunt farmland for that reason, the meat that comes out of pea, wheat, alfalfa, and bean fields may as well be domestic

while not loin, I am having some ground deer mixed with hot pork sausage and lean ground beef, made into burgers, and hot grilled with some bleu cheese crumbles on top tonight. Cold windy, snow, but gonna grill it anyway.

Colorado Redneck · February 15, 2015, 07:24 PM

Breaded and fried in bacon grease till medium rare. Had a couple of left over chops cold for lunch---geeze---spoiling myself!

Going to put in for a deer tag on the Platte River where there are some white tails. They eat a mixed diet---some corn, some grass, some alfalfa. Most likely a buck tag---don't have a white tail rack on the wall yet. I NEED one before I am too old and crippled up to go hunt.

Just got the big game brochure for Colorado so while it is cold and snowing it is fun to plan for next hunting season. Great to be blessed with something so enjoyable.

My dilemma - In my ongoing quest to promote hunting I offer to share some venison with a nonhunter game to try it. So do I give them chops???

Just don't overcook them.

Apple orchard venison is hard to beat. Like a spring lamb...yummie!

upstate81 · February 27, 2015, 06:18 AM

Sure is my family owns a large apple farm full of deer. I mainly hunt a portion surrounded by corn/ bean fields and rolling hardwood timbers. Best venison ive ever had comes off that property, not to mention 200 pounders arent all that scarce.

Clean out all silver skin. Mix 2 parts Ven with 1 part bacon ends. Grind into burger. That will make any "I hate venison" person change their mind.

Grits · March 14, 2015, 06:00 AM

Don't do like I did. I ate so much deer meat last year, I started running out in front of cars at night.

cnimrod, I've had bad experiences giving people venison. If they've ever had bad venison they would have that memory and hate yours without even eating it.
If you have someone who's never had it and is adventurous then it's OK. Cook it for them or give them specific instructions.
