Venison has been a primary protein here for at least 35-years. When the day comes where I can't use a rifle to add it to our freezer anymore, I'll be pretty disappointed. I consider elk & deer to be a whole other food group. It's lean and healthy, it tastes like nothing else, and just writing this just makes me hungry for more. It does require a bit of effort to obtain it and then prepare it properly, but the payoff is a pretty spectacular. Steaks and roasts, summer sausage, breakfast sausage, stew meat, braised shanks...& wonderful meatloaf and chilli (& burgers!) are what keeps this household running.
