venison
???? killed with gun or bow, doe or buck, hardwood mast or agriculture?dropped on the spot or chased for awhile?, aged before butchering or cut fresh, allowed to freeze first or butchered while floppy. Each condition makes a huge difference. When I am butchering the conditions are cleaner than a processor. My experience... calm relaxed does that are taken with an arrow that bleed out in a few secondstaste the best. Even better is medium age fed on agriculture corn, soy and grains for mast, allowed to age 2-3 days in controlled temp. spotless prep conditions. RESPECT the ANIMAL enough to make every bit useable. Thanks Craig.

Too funny...
I had venison just last night, from a doe taken on my own property, with arrow. Within 45 minutes, the girl was hanging in my cool garage, afterwhich she was cut and wrapped a day later. The key is what you do with the meat after the kill. A couple of years ago, wife and I went to WY and killed 4 pronghorns. After the shot, we gutted and drove to the meat processor an hour away. Did this 4 times. Meat was/is great. We are still eating on it, and looking forward to a return next year.

That's funny as heck, and I've seen venison "butchered" in similar fashion. My mom bought a chub of 'burger from the supermarket a few years back that had cow hair in it, so it's not at all one sided.
But, I take a lot of pride and care with the animals I take and prepare for food. There IS a difference in the taste between beef and venison, and IMO the venison is far superior. Daryl |

There is the problem is was a Holstein steer. Milk cows are not known for their quality of beef even if it was a steer. They should have made it an Black Angus.

I would never eat that no matter what it is. I don't harvest game that way, and the portrayal is an insult to most hunters, not all.

HG - I treat my animals with all the care and proper handling possible.
But it was funny, admit it...

Sure isn't the way we treat our venison either. I must qualify our, as in I have not put one down for 11 years but I unload and process anything the young hunters put down.
The cast iron pan on my wood cooking stove is by far my favorite way of cooking our venison. You are right Hunter girl, it is all about image today. We do need to police ourselves and show respect for the wildlife, environment and everyone that we interact with. However we have every right to be proud of our heritage and the sport we love. I do know those that fit into your "Not All" comment. A tongue-in-cheek article like that could cause one of those in the "Not All" category to overhaul there M O.

I'm on the main road from the New Mexico hunting areas and Texas. You wouldnt believe how many pickups go through here in a day with game animals in the back end that have not been gutted or skinned...............heading back to parts unknown in Texas.

Around here, most of the deer taste alot like beef, because they are all grain fed off of the farmer's fields.

I'd rather eat venison any day of the week. Mmm, I can hardly wait for this season! I'm already writing out a plan of my favorite recipes and new ones I want to try.

love the post... is does have some truth about the way game is taken... most people dont like game meat because they have tasted it after it has been improperly harvested...
my personal rule is "if its on the run, the flavor is done"... as the adrenaline rush takes over the nervous system on any animal the lactic acid buildup in the muscle and gives it a "bad" or "off" taste... the best way to harvest is to drop it right there, on the spot, and unspooked... |

Good venison is a delighfully rich and tasty meat.
Personally, I also like buffalo too. A 6oz buffalo steak will fill you up and put a satisfied grin on your face. Never tried Elk, yet. Looking forward to it as long as someone doesn't say "It tastes like chicken".
