Venison Borgussmorg

With my back issues I have stayed out of the woods a lot in the last few years. With the addition of Celebrex and some other not so famous drugs I went out 4 days this year with the sons. It might put it into perspective to mention that there are probably 50 -75 deer right now standing within 2 miles of where I sit. We counted 26 in a field 1/2 a mile away from our house the last day of the season. So I didn’t have to go far.

Back to the reason for the post: We were able to cull out of the herd 3 deer in the 140-170 # range and boy can you tell a difference with the soybean fields. In previous years mostly corn. Not bad in the past, but more marbling and sweeter flavor,(yes I’m talking about Deer). The jerky and brats, and bologna, ground V, and salmi have no gamey taste at all Do you guys and gals think that the soybeans did it or could it be the brand new cooler at the locker plant was just fresher? Anyway nearly every other meal is deer now and we are loving it.

Hey Lawrence, It hard for me to say abou the crops and venison quality . Deer around here have ample access to both. The big secret is the way you take care of your deer after it has expired. Get it gutted and cooled out soon as possible and my personal preference is to remove the tarsel glands. My favorite is venison faitas. Venison strips fried with onions and green peppers on soft shells is heavenly.

I think what deer are eating plays a big role in how deer tastes. I have grown up on corn fed deer, but I also have friends who hunt the deep woods way up north. I really like the corn fed deer much more. Maybe it is because I grew up on them, but there is definetly a difference. What you do after you shoot the deer also makes a big difference.

I have hunted in the southern MN farm country for about 20 years and up north for the last 2 years. I was surprised to find that the northern deer tasted the same as the south. The only big difference I’ve noticed over the years is in the age of the animal. I had an older buck that wasn’t the best and a young one that was probably the best. The old buck was in rut and tending a doe when I shot him…maybe that had something to do with it??? Young deer are always good on the table.
