what about the meat?

A lot of it gets ground up for burgers, chili, tacos, etc.. backstraps get eaten the night of the kill usually. Not a big fan of roasts.. My cousin has a butcher table, grinder, and walk-in deer cooler, so Im lucky I guess. I never understood why people took their deer to a processor . 1/2 the fun of the hunt is taking the meat from the animal and cooking it, imo. I love to experiment with different recipes.

Also LOTS of jerky, and of course there must always be a supply of summer sausage in the basement freezer.. Good stuff. I actually have some defrosting down there right now in the fridge. This is what my cousin and I make:

 

I wrestled for Ellsworth, WI. I wrestled 152 last year. I am done wrestling now.

 

cool cool. wrestling is fun gonna miss it tho.......bowmanaja you said you make all your meat right? can you just buy the outside caseing from just the old average store of a butcher shop?

 

Yeah it was a good time, are you wrestling after high school?

 

no, i wish tho but the collage im going to go to doestn offer it

 

i think i have a.d.d after reading this through meat,meat wrestle,meat lol but i also do nothing fancy and just cut it up and eat it lol

 

haha sorry

 

Just steaks and ground here for me!!!!:d and Duke I am with you I add nothing to my burger!!! But the first ? what do you do when the meat is getting old??? I always run out way before the next season rolls around!! Walt

 

Steaks, tenderloin, roast, ground, sausage, etc I usually get some of all of it out of a deer. I add nothing to the burger (its better that way.)

 

I use the trimmings for sausage, shoulders for jerky & stew, backstraps for steak, hindquaters for ground, hotdogs, stew, roasts. Nothing goes in the ground, but I don't make hamburgers out it either, taco meat & spaghetti.

 

well i didnt stick anyting last year so im stuck buying all my meat off buddies... got a bunch of ground, and some donkey di%k aka summer sausage, but thats really it. living off pan fish and goose breasts till OCT!

 

mostly stew

 

Steak, backstraps and stew. Once in a while I'll get some made into summer sausage, but usually not. I do my own. I don't mess with garbage cuts. I take the prime stuff and good stew chunks and feed the rest to the critters. I don't do ribs and very little front shoulders. I don't do neck roast anymore, they aren't worth the effort. I don't do jerky or any of that crap that makes venison taste like anything but venison. If I wanted jerky I'd buy some good top sirloin and do it right.
