Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Some of the best venison I've ever prepared came from a 3.5 to 4.5 year old buck. Some of the worst came from a yearling doe.

| It's all in how you cook it.
I love it when people marinade it for 2 days and then throw it in a slow-cooker for another day....To get the gamey taste out."
Give me a chunk of loin with everything trimmed off of it, then rub in some Seasoned Garlic Pepper and eat it when the middle is red. Now that's done. They don't have that much fat, so you don't need to cook the hell out of it. If you want to get the gamey taste out, shoot a cow.

| tell you guys a nice little tip for venison.
I age it for about 5 days after shooting. not just hanging it outside to show it off
to the neighbors, but heres my process.
first day I skin and quarter, get all the scrap meat off the carcass,
take the quarters and put them in UNSCENTED bags. throw in the fridge.
throw scrap meat into large tupperware bowl. also in fridge.
next day, I de-bone the meat. throw it back in the bowls in the fridge.
next day, I trim whatever I can of sinew, silver skin, fat. and will start to cut
up my stew meat and seperate what Im going to grind up for sausage or burger.
the next day I will cut all my steaks, I usually leave the backstraps in about 8 inch portions, but the rest, slice up and leave in tupperware bowls. seal them with saran wrap to not dry out btw.
usually day 4-5 you will see the meat start to get a brownish irridescence to it when you turn it in the light. the meat is not bad! the blood is breaking down,
along with the enzymes tenderizing the meat.
when this happens, I will freezer wrap and vacuum seal everything. and whalla!
hands down the best venison ever.
like mr worral said, 4 yr old dear never tasted so good!
Ive had a yearling doe I shot on a warm day, had to rush the job, froze it as soon as I was done, all that fresh blood in there is what will give you that gamey taste, I dont mind it, but a lot of people do, not to mention, that meat was pretty tough.
Ever since I started aging my venison, as mentioned above, Ive had people who hate deer meat, love it!
oh yeah, helps not to turn it into shoe leather as well... |

Location: The desert | That's one hummdinger of an elk, holy smokes. I like all wild game. If it was socially acceptable to eat the meat off warm body of the dead animal I probably would. Anyone that cooks meat past med. rare is missing out. Just buy a pack of Jack Links at that point.
Grant I saw you got a decent one...at least I think that was from this season. |

| They wont butcher a cow until it has hung in the meat locker for at least 15 days. I had a neighbor who would not even think about cutting up his deer until exactly 9 days after he shot it. He would quarter it and refridgerate it first. Dogboy is right the enzymes break down in the meat which makes it tender. If you were to butcher a cow right away and cut out a nice big Ribeye you'd throw it away because it would be so tough you couldn't even chew it. Interesting stuff!

Location: syracuse indiana | well i can say this , its all in how you deal with the meat and the prosessing procedure you do way before you even cut it up. thats what it is all about. my uncle owned 2 meat markets and showed me the right way. he was a meat cutter not a butcher. there is a difference. first as soon as possible get that baby hanging and put frozen water filled milkjugs in the cavity and tye it up. if you can hang her /him from a garage that you can get cold with a old air conditioner is best. if its warm outside. then skin the deer around day 2. then after you skin it take a propane torch and burn all the excess hair off the meat, inside the cavity and out. then you start to cut her/him up after 5 days of keeping ice in the cavity and all. Then as you are cutting and basicly disecting the meat. make sure you get all of the silver skin (meat membrane) off the meat. you do loose some this way. but believe me the taste is so worth it. do this for everything you cut off the carcass. and then prepair your meal as usual.. and for burger you dont add anything. it will be so lean and healthy than ground beef. less shrinkage too. the only thing you need to add the fat (pork) would be for ur dishes than call for a fat to be in it. then add the meat to 80% deer to 20% pork. there is so much you can do with great tasting venison. and if someone does not like venison i have prepaired it for non lovers of it and they didnt even know they were eating it....bill
