Title: deer meat
Post by: Southerngobbler on September 03, 2019, 10:23:30 PM: Better start finishing off last years deer meat. I'm hitting mine pretty hard. Gonna have to eat it two or three times a week to pull it off at this rate. My season starts in 7 weeks.

I have heard those are some of the best tasting meat there is.

Have always processed my own and actually enjoy it. 6-7 deer will be plenty for the year so when we hit that we quit. Hopefully my boy shoots over half of them.

Post by: CC on September 06, 2019, 07:06:39 PM: Yup... Just made a bunch of jerky in preparation for Hurricane Dorian. You need protein when the power goes out. Thankfully it didn't hit Florida as hard as the predicted. Thank God... Been eating it while I pick up the yard and removing the window coverings on the house.

Post by: Sixes on September 06, 2019, 07:34:12 PM: Georgia opens the second Saturday in September. This year, that is the 14th, the latest it can open.

I hunt a private quail plantation/agriculture farm a couple of times a season and help them with doe control. We are allowed 12 deer a year here, so I don't run out of deer meat.

We eat lots of deer and I have a couple of relatives that I give deer to each year, so none go to waste.

I've been on their crop depredation permits before, but I do not care for night shooting does in August with the brutal heat in middle Georgia

Post by: Kylongspur88 on September 06, 2019, 10:03:58 PM: I'm almost tapped. Found the last piece of backstrap hiding in the freezer last week and grilled it up. Finished off the stew meat this week. I have a few steaks and a roast left. They won't last long. Time to re-stock.

Post by: bigbird on September 15, 2019, 04:46:14 PM: I got some left but I never get one processed or get any deer til December. I like late muzzleloader season. Speaking of what tastes better or best has anyone seen the Randy Newberg YouTube video where they prepare 4-5 different kinds of meat and have to guess what they are eating and rate them! Pretty good clip.

Post by: bonasa on September 18, 2019, 11:34:13 AM: Ran out of wild game in August that was 7 deer we supplemented with around 50 ducks and 100 geese. A lot of sausage, ground meat and salami. Fortunately goose opened up here the beginning of September, confit the legs/thighs and grind the rest. Grouse and woodcock don't count, can't shoot enough to stockpile those between the 3 of us that hunt in the house.

Post by: Bowguy on September 18, 2019, 11:58:19 AM: Finished my last loin Sun but our season started Sat. The giant moon n storms made this season start slow but we’lldo ok.
Soaked in salt water than drained. Cut up into 2 by 4 chops. Marinated in apple cider a full day, than drained n barbecue sauce a full day.
Piece of onion next to it, wrapped in bacon than grilled. Good stuff.

I haven’t bought store beef in prob 4 years. I bought a new grill, I decided I’d put a beef steak on it for a first use. Sticker shock isn’t the word. No way I’d spend the asking price for a cow. 29-35 dollars a steak. If they’re that proud of it they can keep it. I used to take about a dozen deer a year as a kid. Prob back to 4-5 a year now. I may go back up one or two more that my girls daughter finally eats it. In fact almost everything I kill or gather she eats.
Love my deer but still like turkey, bear, moose better.

Post by: aclawrence on September 20, 2019, 11:09:40 PM: I’m going to hit it about perfect this year. I just brought my last four packs of burger in today and grilled one of them tonight. Time to restock. It’s actually great because my wife is starting to encourage we need some more deer meat.

Post by: wvmntnhick on September 22, 2019, 12:24:26 PM: Used to have it good. Guy I hunt with, his in-laws have a huge farm. They’d get CD permits. Kept me stockpiled and allowed me to be much more picky about what I was shooting during season. Stopped buying extra permits because I didn’t need them any longer. Got to the point I’d kill a deer in now season, generally kill a buck at some point during rifle and I’d try things out in BP season. Might get a doe stamp or two depending on the needs of the family. My oldest is now showing more interest so any doe stamps will be bought for her. Gonna try my youngest at some point this year. She’s coming into it slower than her big sister though. Needless to say, with the lack of CD permits the last few years, we’ve actually scraped the bottom of the freezer. But, my buddy doesn’t eat much and kills everything he can to help his family eliminate deer on their farm. I make sure they don’t go to waste.

As for preparation, I’d recommend everyone try this. Leave/remove as many seeds as you want.
Butterfly chunks of backstrap. Slice jalapeño pepper in half. Stuff with cream cheese. Slip it into the chunk of meat and wrap it all in bacon. Glad pan into the oven on broil. Light sprinkle of Tony C’s Cajun seasoning and bath in Worcestershire sauce. When the bacon is done, it’s ready. Give it a go. If you don’t like it, message me. I’ll come to your house and clean it up for ya.
