Not very long ago I wrote about a venison meatloaf that I had made. To me winter is prime time venison eating time! I love the taste of venison, but that is not the only reason I enjoy the bounty of nature.
According to the USDA’s website on nutrition, venison is one of the most nutritious meats around. This report states that similar sized servings of beef, pork, and chicken contain more calories than venison. Of course all meats would be cooked in the same manner, baked or broiled. Not only that venison has less fat and more iron than these other meats. Beef is marbled with the fat running through the meat, while with venison a majority of the fat is removed by the person butchering the animal.
The sorry thing about this whole article is that you (the reader) may never get a chance to consume a fine venison dinner. Unless you are a hunter, or good friends with one, you won’t have much of a chance to sink your teeth into a juicy venison steak. Venison is not available in your local supermarket, and it’s against the law to sell it. Personally I love sharing with the “less fortunate.” I’d rather give a few packages to a non-hunting neighbor than have him out in the woods shooting MY deer.

We share our venison all the time – with neighbors, non-hunting friends, and property owners of course.
This year, though, I just wish I had some for myself.
mike please refrain from showing pix’s like this.
it’s simply unbearable to view as i eat my frozen
microwave dinner……
Come on over guys we got plenty this year. Now last yeat we were scrounging around for any wild meat we could find.
Sue has been trying out ever reciepe she can find lately, we’ll have to go back and get your meat loaf one Mike.
Hey Bob I’d like to tell ya to get a package of steaks from Arthur, but that ain’t going to happen. If your in my neighborhood stop by and I’ll give ya a package. Sorry for torturing you with the pics.
Venison chops on a hot charcoal grill with baked potatoes and an ear of Wisconsin sweet corn…Nothing better than that! My buddy shot several last year and his wife won’t eat it??? She doesn’t know what she’s missing. Get all the silver skin and fat cut off and it’s like super lean beef. Speed beef that is.
I hope your hungry!
