MY DEER HUNTERS!

Awesome news!! My baby boy (turns 9 tomorrow) wants to go huntinng with dad so bad....Hubby isn't going this year because he just had back surgery....so guess Tracy will have to wait until next year.  Give your son and hubby and HIGH 5 for me.

will do! i hope your son and hubby have as good a time as mine did!

Soaking it sal****er will remove alot of teh gamey taste that most people object to. As for recipes I am not sure we used it in place of beef growing up. Flour it lightly and fry in a bit of olive oil or pam was my fav. Of course Deer stew is a great cold weather meal. make the same way you do with beef except use cubed deer meat instead.

thanks! when we get the meat back from the processing place i'll try that

Wow, I think I'd make a LOT of spicy deer jerky too.  What an awesome way to get in protein snacks that are good and healthy for WLS folks.

we have already hit up my father-in-law to make us some jerky! i know i like it that way!

I am sooo JEALOUS!!!! I could live on dear meat!!!! Well before surgery havent tried it since surgery.  My boys went this weekend with their dads and came back with the we seem them driving out but not in the woods stories... hee hee hee... Anyways its just the start of the year so hopefully soon they will get theirs!

they seem to be plentiful this year so i bet they get one!!

Congrats on the Deer!  I haven't had any for a long time.  I used to use it just like beef.  I made lots of stuff with it. 
You'll have your freezer stocked for a while!  Thats great!
