Have any of you guys tried canning venison? It's awsome. Talk about tender. The canning process fully cooks it so it is ready to eat, just warm it up and pour it on potatoes or biscuits or whatever!

I ended up making a big batch of jerky using my dehydrator, and it turned out pretty good. The only ingredients I used to season were teryaki sauce and minced garlic. I filled a gallon size zip-lock bag full cut up meat, then poured the teryaki sauce in and then added 5 or 6 big table spoons of minced garlic. I let it marinade in the fridge for 12 hours, then cooked it at 150 degrees for 6 hours, and it turned out perfect. The only strange thing is it keeps getting better as it gets older. The first day the teryaki sauce was overpowering and some of the thicker pieces were a little raw on the inside. Then the second day the sauce started to caramelize on the outside of the meat (the flavor was still a little strong), but the meat was "cooked" all the way through. Today, the third day, the jerky is perfect!

I had to bring this topic back up, cuz I'm all excitied about the upcoming season. My brother talked to me today from home, where my parents own 4 acres surrounded by cornfeilds, and said hes seen quite a few deer back where I have my stand set up. We hung urine and put some feed back there. I guess it's workin, December needs to come a bit sooner. i'm ready to eat, and this will be my first deer hunt, so I'm extra excited...And now, thanks to the great FTE I have some ways to cook it up when I get one. Anybody have any good hunting tips for me?

If you shot bambi like I did. You will have some good meat. I cooked burgers up and made some meat ***** with a home made sauce and they were great. The jerky is all so super.

Thanks TWolf. I'll have him go out and look for some. I figured I shoulnd't pee back there. I prolly won't chew tobacco or anything when I'm out there either, I figure they'll smell that too. I heard deer can distinguish something like 3 individual scents? i know the best way to get deer pee is to extract it from a deer shot previously, but since I haven't got one, I settled for the store bought.

Sausage and jerky are my favs! I love game meat.
Worst part of deer I ate was the heart. After my first kill my dad made me eat a bite of his heart. He said it was our family tradition for the first kill. I can still taste that thing.

If I didn't like the "gamey" taste, I wouldn't hunt deer. I can buy cow parts at the store. (Reminds me of a chicken I ate once - it tasted like frog legs.)
If you're hunting way out in the wilderness where men are rare, scent control is important. When you're hunting in areas where deer and people frequently interact, the deer aren't going to be nearly as spooked. Often a masking scent is sufficient - one that works good in lots of farming areas is a little diesel fuel on a drag-rag. No surprises. The deer just keep on keepin' on, because poor ol Joe drives his tractor through this field perty regular, and it smells just the same.
All those stories about taking a leak are meant to impress people with one's hunting prowess, but are otherwise worthless information. First hand experience has shown this not to be the case. I've even used a deer's own scrape and not raised an alarm.

As for the jerky, we just bought the American Harvest combo from wally world. Got the dehydrator and the jerky-gun for $60. What you do is mix buck chuck (or doe chuck) with a bag of their spice and a bag of their cure and load it into this caulking-gun lookin deal, then shoot it onto the dehydrating trays. We cranked the heat up and started it at 9.30 pm. I turned it off at 4 this morning and it tastes AWESOME! I tried a bit of it last night around midnight and they were like Slim Jims. Dry on the outside and a little soft on the inside. The book said 7 hours, but I'm gonna try a batch for 4 hours tonight and see how it turns out.
