Venison!


That freezer is slowly filling. Won't these little steaks be great in the crock pot or skillet. I am so glad my family likes venison because you can't beat the price and the fact that it is so much better for you than store bought beef is just an extra. 



Frozen up and bagged with our FoodSaver and ready to go.



Deer roasts, trimmed, frozen and bagged ready for the freezer. We love our deer roasts cooked just like a traditional beef pot roast. 



Stew Meat for the crock pot stews during winter! Homegrown potatoes, Dehydrated carrots and onions and you have a stew. 



Ground venison bagged and ready for the freezer : )

We ended up getting 30 pounds of pure meat frozen from the last small doe. O Wise One is steadily on the lookout for another doe or too to add to it. Last year we froze 3 small does. He does not shoot bucks at all preferring those young and tender does for the table. 

Says that you would have to boil them horns a long time to be able to eat them!

Anyone else out there had any luck at the hunt?

    1. We like to make sausage with ours also. It makes great Italian sausage! Anything you can do with beef you can pretty well do with venison : )

  3. The guys are grilling deer steaks tonight at "deer" camp. I don't know the exact recipe but it's steaks that you marinate all day in 3 cups of soy sauce and 2 c brown sugar. Then drain, wrap each steak in a piece of bacon adn grill. The guys just love them.
    Vension is like free meat!!

  4. In California we cannot shoot the does anymore. Years ago we had doe season every 4 years. Now they are everywhere, including the front end of many vehicles. It's sad that we have removed a balancing factor from the deer population and we are being overrun. The bucks are smart and bagging one gets harder every year. Food for the deer is getting leaner and they are getting more desperate. Finding them on your front deck is not unusual and they are getting aggressive. The Environmentalists have created a deer utopia in their minds, with little regard for the actual consequences. The predator population is decreasing and dead fawns lie strewn along the roadways along with their mothers. Vehicle damage, personal injuries, and even deaths have been on the rise and we are at the mercy of bureaucrats in the big cities. Sorry to rant...I just wish people could see the truth. "Bambi" is an emotional trigger, not the hard truth. Congratulations on your larder filling up!

    1. If they did not allow hunting here the deer would wipe out the corn and soy bean crops. Not to mention the thousands of people that would die in traffic accidents with deer. Even with hunting our traffic accidents involving deer are really high.
