AAAHHHH.....  Pack some w/ some dry ice and fed ex me some.  :)

My grandson is 10 & I plan to take him hunting
this year - his first deer hunt. It's a Texas tradition
in our family, as we live in a rural ranch area. Try
adding a jalape?o pepper(s) before cooking, then
remove the peppers before serving. I have not tried
it yet, but heard from an old-timer that it was great.
The best way for most of the deer (IMHO), is to buy
a bunch of turkeys, save the white meat, then use the
dark meat to mix with the deer for a great sausage.

Hi Susan,

Tonight we're having butterflied loins--sprinkeled with garlic, salt,
and pepper, and fried in butter with onions until *just* medium
rare--takes about five minutes. Will be served with a romaine salad,
avocado, and baked potatoes.

Already had venison sausage this week--twice. Once for dinner (broke up
pieces to put on my salad) and leftovers for breakfast.

We grind our own venison without fat and use the burger (mixed with some
beef or pork) for meatloaf, meatballs, shepards pie, sloppy joes,
spaghetti sauce, what-not.

Chunk up a venison roast and make stew, or marinate it in your favorite
sauce for a couple of days and skewer and grill (speedies where I come
from, served on italian bread with butter). Marinate the steaks and
grill til medium. Oh--and stroganoff is always a hit.

DH always has some venison made into summer sausage and hotdogs, too. We
eat *A LOT* of venison. Whitetail season started October 15, and doesn't
end until some time in December, so it gives us plenty of time to stock
the freezer. I get to go tomorrow morning and sit in the tree stand. I
don't hunt--I just enjoy the scenery and freeze my butt off.

Anyway, venison is good eatin'--

My friend supplies me with a little venison every now and then. Maybe
I will go hunting with him this year. What he does is he makes venison
sausage.

If you go to http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl, the search
results will be more specific for different types of venison cuts.  For
recipes go to, www.allrecipes.com and see  what they have.  Our deer season
started last week with a youth hunt and will begin for real the weekend
before Thanksgiving.  BF's camp is teeming with deer so be sure to share any
good recipes you have although I prefer my meat to be packaged on styrofoam
and wrapped in cellophane and have something about USDA inspected on it:)

I love venison, but would be reluctant to eating it in some parts of the
U.S. because of the wasting disease similar to mad cows disease in deer.
Cooking the venison does not destroy the disease.
The best recipe for venison which I have made many times is venison
burgundy. Braise chucks of venison in a pot and add mushrooms, onions and
prunes along with burgundy wine. Place in the oven until done. Serve over
egg noodles. This is delicious.

I used to be very anti-venison until I moved here.  There are plenty of
families who depend on it for their sustenance through the year and I
learned over time to appreciate it.  I still hate the guys that come up from
the city, accidently shoot a doe or fawn and instead of making sure it's
dead they leave it to pursue their buck.  DH has had to put a few suffering
ones out of their misery.  Anyway, I've acclamated to the culture and I
enjoy venison. I don't have the heart to get my own but there are plenty of
folks up here willing to share.  We always have someone giving us venison
and I feel like I would be doing the deer a disservice by letting the meat
go to waste.  DH won't eat it because of the CWD scare, but there haven't
been any deer up here found with it and they do extensive testing.

I just like it marinated and on the grill.  I prefer that to any other way.
The marinade takes some of the gaminess out of it.  Venison is one of the
leanest meats available.  I have a good friend that makes a grilled venison
to die for but he refuses to share his marinade recipe.  He told me to bring
over my meat and he'll cook it for me.  Won't even give me marinade to take
home.  If I ever find out what's in it I'll let you know.
