I'm eating it all the time but not for much longer

. With the two deer that I got this year I am down to my last couple of packs. My girls love it too. Come on deer season!

Never, huh?

Well, I agree that backstraps aren't usually tough ... but I killed one grizzled old veteran of a buck whose backstraps after butchering were still so contrary you could have saddled 'em up and rode to town on 'em.

They were just as hard after thawing as they had been while frozen.

I do not exaggerate when I say that it wouldn't have mattered what I did to those two pieces of elephant hide, they were tough with a capital T!

Tough, tough, TOUGH ... I can't believe that any amount of aging, tenderizing, marinating, slow-cooking, or black magic would have made those rubbery retreads tender!

To this day, it makes my molars hurt to remember them.

Believe me, Bob, I gave 'er the old college try. My efforts were valiant and unceasing. I suffered on manfully, in spite of discouragement.

All for naught.

Those "tenderloins" (and trust me when I say that it is a stretch to so describe them) remained crunchy and rank, no matter what I did with 'em ... and it wasn't from a lack of familiarity with the game. I had killed, butchered and cooked well over a hundred deer before I tangled with this cantankerous old cuss of a buck.

So, I guess I'll never be able to say never!

What's your secret?

Don't eat that venison crap it's aweful. Your parents just convinced you that it was palatable over the years. Theres plenty of great food at the grocery store so go get it

. Stand away from the venison!!!!!!!!!!!!!

those little 3/4 year ols are hard to beat when it's time to eat.

Yep. We go back to 1990. Lovingly called Ol' Death Wind!

The ol' girl has piled up a stack of deer, now!

Been a few times over the years, though, truth to tell, when wind was all they felt, too!

Those little ones are in a lot more trouble here in Ohio since they increased the number of "antlerless only" tags for the archery season. Only costs $15. to tag one now, and they have a lot of advantages. Good eating and easy to drag (or carry

) out.

Well Mike P,..I'm deeply saddened for you. I find trophy hunters of your ilk to be exceedingly shirking in their actions.
Even though I'm sure you probably donate all the meat to the needy, think about taking responsibility for one's hungry place in the natural world and reconnect.
Being in the woods hunting every fall is as spiritual and connecting a pastime as you will ever find, and Venison is one of the finest sources of organic, unadultrated, lean protiens we can put on our family's plates.
