Nothing Like Eating Wild!!!

[MiniMe]

I love venison and thank God, our freezer is filling up. My husband, Civilman1 got a nice Buck last weekend and a Doe yesterday . (Please no sad awe's - it's awww-yummy) Nothing like marinated, grilled venison back strap wrapped in bacon....the natural Filet Mignon. For all those Trader Joe's shoppers - try going Wild - all natural & lean - no label reading required. .

I really don't think there is anything better, accept maybe Civilman's venison jerky and when I throw a whole hind quarter on the smoker and make Venison BBQ out of it.

I'll never forget when I did this a couple years back and held a big family party for my daughters 21st. Had a variety meats and side dishes spread out and the smoked Venison BBQ in a crock pot keeping warm. Everyone kept complimenting me on the "PORK" BBQ I was honest with them though and told them it was Venison.....and waited for them to start throwing up at the mention of them eating a Deer .... but even the ones that stick their nose up to wild game and hunting said..."Wow, that is really good!" and most went back for seconds....imagine dat!!! lol. Harvesting game and having your own vegetable garden makes for healthy eating all around. Hard work, but worth every minute, I think.

Nothing better then deer meat. My favorite food.

A little of this and that really, whatever I have on hand. I don't measure anything so it's always hard to give a precise recipe. Oil, lil Vinegar, crushed garlic, whole ground pepper, onion power, splash of lemon juice, couple splashes of lite soy sauce and couple tbs of bbq sauce. I mix up enough to coat the amount of meat I'm cooking. Do not add salt, I don't add salt to anything I cook, the bacon has enough and the soy sauce too.

I just filled up on beans and cornbread but I do believe If presented a plate of that I could manage it. Looks good

My style of supper. My first doe went to Hunters For The Hungry, my next one went into the freezer. Should have went out this morning but we have a freeze snap, burrrrr -1 degrees is not a common occurance in west Tennessee. Did those go into the oven or on the grill?

 

[MiniMe]

I hear ya, bitter cold here and the winds we've got just make it worse - for me anyway. I cooked them on the charcoal grill. Good luck, hope you get a chance to get back out there to hunt.

 

[Fishenfool]

you all are lucky, we only get to take one here in Oregon. but I did get my one this year

 

[muleskinner]

I'll finish cuttin' up a doe after supper, gonna be a tender one too. Just got back from muzzleloading weekend, four total for the group.

 

[MiniMe]

Congrats Fishenfool & Muleskinner Muzzleloader starts this weekend here.....I'm praying
