Time To Get Busy

[Olly]

Sounds great. I can only eat one deer a year though. My brother or nephew shoot me one every year. We can barely finish one. It's just me and my MIL eating most of the different cuts of meat. My wife only eats venison chili. I only get ground meat, steaks, chops and roasts. I make enough sausage for the year from the geese I shoot.

You don't have a really big family. WTF do you do with all that deet meat?

I think he just doesn't eat beef.

That's it. I don't buy meat, period, if I can help it. That roast I bought last week was the first thing in years that we ate aside from deer. Got pretty good at cooking it many different ways, but burger isn't one of them. Substitute it for veal in a lot of Italian recipes, too. All 4 of us eat it, and Layniebug will often bitch if we go somewhere and she has to eat something besides deer.

I figure I probably average 40 pounds of meat from each deer. That may be a little generrous, but not by much when I take all of them into account. And while I don't "waste" meat, I'm not going to spend an hour picking over a carcass to get that last one pound of scrap meat. Hell, most farmers just shoot them and leave them lay where they fall, so I don't feel even a little guilty about it. So you guys who have one professionally put up probably average a little more meat per deer. But we easily eat a pound a piece per day, when we have it, often more than that if it's steaks or a straight backstrap or something like that. That shit adds up quick. Sometimes I'll take a whole one or two and grind them all to make summer sausage, too.

You forgot to mention that deer meat is more dense, less fat, healthier, and takes less to fill you up than beef.
It is easier to digest as well.

I'll second that. When I cooked that beef roast last week, I may as well have ate it sitting on the shitter. Instant McRumble.

I can't take credit for that one. Came from that documentary "Super Size Me". But ever since I heard it, it's been stuck in my vocab.

That movie grosses me out.
