Just had the last bowl of that chili. Man is that stuff good. Love the way it warms the belly  :lol


Is there any place online where you can actually order venison? If i could afford it, I'd much rather be grilling deer steaks than cow. I live in ohio.

I don't hunt, but I do eat deer quite a bit for not being a hunter..  I love all game and will try anything multiple times until I like it(kinda force myself to like it)..
Here in Indiana, we have lots of soy..  I notice that deer that primarily eat soy taste horrible(irony, gamey), but deer that graze naturally on stuff other than soy taste pretty much like beef(in my opinion)..
I like classy, beautiful, intelligent woman that say the "F" word a lot....

Here's the thing.

Straps, roasts and steaks from any large game is good. I enjoy straps from a younger animal myself.

If you want to make a good sausage (Italian, breakfast, etc.) or snack stick, you have to mix pork in during the grinding process.

I like a 50/50 ratio.

Jerky in the oven (120 deg) is fine, but for my money, the jerky guns are very nice. Then stick it in the dehydrator.

There is an Elk ranch or farm near here.  He's had a few hillbilly's stop and take shots at them.  Also, I like Bison, but around 2 years ago, it was under $5 a pound.  Now that Walmart sell's the meat, it's around $9 a pound.

Edit.

The guy that sells the bison is about an hour South of me.  30 minutes North, we have about 2,500 bison on the tallgrass prairie.  http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/oklahoma/index.htm

Elk, I knew someone that lived in the Colorado Rockies.  Swiss Elk Steak.  One of the best thing i've ever tasted.  Just cook it 1.5x longer than beef.

Some small specialty stores in TX and Calif offer various types of game meat, either 100% or blended with beef.  In Calif I think the most common is buffalo meat, usually cut with beef to make it taste a bit milder.  I've had 100% buffalo burgers, beef+buffalo, and beef+moose, and they all taste good to me.  But I think a lot of people associate strong meat flavors with spoilage or "animals", both of which are a total food turn-off for many (most?) city folk.

I think I'd have to get used to eating the stronger tasting meat if it was going to be a regular sort of thing, but for an occasional culinary experience I like them just fine.  And I think that's why only the specialty stores sell that stuff.

I bet you can get it mail order, or just go in person to the local game butcher/dresser (whatever they call the guy who specializes in dressing/butchering game).  Sometimes they have clients who just want the trophy, and sell the meat to a local butcher to offset the taxidermy expenses.  Quality may be all over the place, but you have to become your own quality control after you get some experience.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.
