hit an 8 point with the truck so i figured eh whynot take it to the butcher and get it cut up. havnt good deer before so any ideas would help

Sea salt/crack black pepper --> bbq

never made venison. i tried it once, though, was very chewy. from what i understand, though, vension benefits from longer cooking times at lower temps to help soften it up a bit.

fresh rosemary would probably be good with it.

actually just like beef it depends on what cut you're working with. some cuts you wanna just sear and serve rare, some other you wanna cook it slowly for a long time, just like pretty much any other meat...

Once you're done with the prime cuts, ground venison --> hamburger . I heard it has full, tasty flavor.

ya its great as ground meat but if making hamburgers either toss in some bread crumbs or go 2 parts venison to 1 part ground beef and it will patty out real well

I'll keep it in mind

this keep it simple the meat has a great flavor.

with the loins / good steak meat i like to slice the meat in smaller portions, saute onion port/shitake mushroom green peppers with a little minced red pepper thrown in the mix

if you have some gravy mix/corn starch the sauce makes good gravy to serve with potatoes if you want

thats just one quick meal.. sometimes just onion and steak or steak w/breakfast, lots of ways to serve it

for the less tender cuts that i dont throw in the grind bucket i just take a tenderizing hammer to them before cooking. works wonders.

catching cleaning and cooking ven is something ive been doing for a while

vouch. try mixing a little pork/beef in the ground meat, too.
