What do you do with the meat when you take a deer elk or moose?

[Del in KS]

When I was growing up we ate so much venison kind of got tired of it. Now there's just the wife and I and she won't touch any game meat. Therefore I give most to the landowners and a minister friend. Nothing goes to waste. Gave away 6 deer last fall.

Stuff it in the freezer and look for new recipes to try during the long winter.

Most of the meat is vacuum packed and frozen for our table. The rest is made into sausage and jerkey. The trimmings are cooked and fed as dog treats. Bones are used to make stock which is canned.

First deer of the year gets ground up into burger ... goes to local food banks and that is how they process it. The rest get packaged and frozen, except the heart and tenderloins, which get eaten asap.

you've given me an idea for a question should that section ever kind of cool off. Anyway, havent seen anyone else say this, I *absolutely* believe the best bet is to get as many roasts as possible, if you want steaks cut em yourself from the roasts. Also jerky can be cut later from the roasts.

Del! you have to keep some of that and learn how to cook if your wife won't!

love the roasts cooked medium rare!

Eat them and put some on the freezer for family to have later!!!
