$1.8 Million Dollars is not a lot of money for a government run program. This sounds like productive use of funding to reduce excess Deer. They should just be quiet about who’s shooting where and when, with what ammo, then have at it.
If the deer are deemed healthy, the meat should be cleaned packaged and sold. I would buy a small amount of Deermeat if it were legally offered for sale. Never having cooked or tasted it before, I don’t mind conducting an experiment.
It’s quite good.
But very, very, VERY lean!
(just an excuse to toss in some bacon!)
Venison sausage done right is excellent.
Oh, you must try some venison-raised on a ranch, I’m a natural food eater, and meat hunter-venison is very lean, very flavorful and can be used any way beef can-it is totally natural-no feed lot, growth hormones, antibiotics, etc. I like to grill venison steaks, or on special occasions, put a haunch on the smoker with a mesquite fire, then serve it with a vinaigrette sauce made with herbs from my garden and fresh-picked juniper berries-served with a nice green salad and steamed or sautéed fresh veggies and a nice shiraz or merlot to drink, it is a natural, healthy meal fit for royalty...
Do you have a place to hunt? I hope I will have money by Fall to pay one of the nearby ranchers with more than 20-30 acres for a hunt-I live in a rural area with livestock-sheep, goats and such on small acreage, so hunting is not allowed in this neighborhood. If I only bag one average sized deer, it can provide as much as 50 pounds of meat, in cuts just like beef.
“$1.8 Million Dollars is not a lot of money for a government run program.”
I think you took a left turn back there by the tree of liberty.
I would do it for the venison and the hides. They are paying for something they could get normal hunters to pay them for the privilege.
“Never having cooked or tasted it before”
That’s just.......sad.
