They'd hunt on that often but I don't know if the one I ate was from their fields or not.
There a poor creature till you meet one personally early morning darting across the road in front of you. When you get the repair bill you will want to take up hunting and cull the herd. [Reply]

:-) Yeah, I heard about that kinda thing. I even heard it happening to the other sil's truck but it was a cow. Don't know how that got out there.
I worked with a girl two years ago who had a friend killed when he tried to swerve away from hitting a deer in his car late at night. [Reply]

Yeah safest is to continue driving don't panic if you hit you hit. Just pray it doesn't come through windshield. [Reply]

Cows eat grass. I eat cows. One day I'll die, and the grass will eat me. And so it goes. [Reply]

I vaguely remember trying a little piece of venison when out visiting former in-laws in Iowa who hunt. It was in a stew and it vaguely remember it tasting gamey.
Any recipes welcome. FMB is the meat expert maybe he knows a thing or two.
The backstrap/tenderloin is amazing and can really just be sliced into steaks and grilled if you're dealing with a doe or a younger buck (small 8 point and below).
The sirloins aren't bad but I'd recommend you soak them in milk for a bit to undercut that gaminess a little bit.
What I tend to do with the sirloins is to cube them and marinate them in Tryme Tiger Sauce. Then I wrap them in bacon and grill them to medium rare. It's an outstanding little appetizer.
Chili and tacos are a go-to with ground venison. Jerkey works with the roasts. For the rest I just find a good processor that will make me some jalapeno cheddar snack sticks out of it. Good stuff. [Reply]

Pretty much a grapefruit martini in a bottle. So mostly a panty dropper. Not a bad change of pace here and there, though I tend to throw a couple splashes of lime juice and some club soda in it when I have it. [Reply]

I'll be thinking of that video when eating my deer dinner.
They've cleared the 8 foot wildlife fence at my buddy's place when they've been chased. If they're not spooked they won't get that high but when that adrenaline is pumping, they can get way the hell up there.
Deer have some springs.
That's why you shouldn't feel so bad about killing them. [Reply]

They can't clear 8 here. Too fat. From eating at buffet de' Buehler. But they can clear 5. Most of the time. Until they don't. Then I have to fix fence.
