Venison, pheasant, boar, etc.
>>21668561Never. I'm on an endless rotation of chicken, beef, pork, and seafood. I'd eat some if it were served or given to me, though.
>venison>game?It's farmed pretty extensively. I can buy it from the supermarket just down the street. If that counts, then five-ish times per year.
>>21668561I eat kangaroo sometimes
>>21668561theres a reason that people eat beef and not deer. you have to cast magic spells to make venison not taste like gamey trash. like it or not beef is peak meat performance, bread across millennia to taste good
>>21668653That's wrong on all counts. Deer isn't consumed as much because it's not as easy to keep fenced in as cattle. Beef is consumed more merely because it's convenient for factory-style ranching. That's it.By your logic, burgers are better than prime rib.
Since I almost only eat what I hunt, and keep my freezer stocked, as often as I like.
Venison backstrap/tenderloin is the greatest meat
>>21668561I hit a deer last year and kept it. I still have some steaks and some mince in the freezer. Deer is a bit like horse meat if you what i mean. My dad often hunted moose growing up and that is excellent meat as well, it has a bit of a pine needle taste to it which is pretty nice honestly.
>>21668609Farmed venison has a less strong flavour and is more tender in my experience.
When my hunting friends invite me to dinner.
>>21668561not often enough. i love venison though. my friend made some bacon wrapped venison once a few years ago, and i still think about it.
>>21668561I go dove hunting four or five times a year in Texas. Marinate the breasts in milk for four hours, cut a slit on each side of the breastbone to stuff jalapeno in, wrap it in bacon and roast it in my smoker.
>>21668561?>>>/v/
>>21668812True. I've only had hunted stuff as burgers, chili and jerky.
>>21668561a couple times a weekelk, moose, ducks, geese, trout, salmon, rabbits
>>21668958haha nice one lolfuck you
>>21668609How the fuck do you farm deer? It's gonna leap straight over the fence. It needs to move around and forage in the forests and drink from the rivers to remain healthy.
>>21670464Just build a taller fence
>>21670464High fences. It's legit just that easy to keep them from jumping out. The bigger issue after that is how skittish they are compared to cattle. Reindeer are domesticated and don't have that issue but most farmed deer are red or fallow. While reindeer have extremely strong herding instinct, like cattle, red deer and fallow deer do not so that presents another issue: when spooked, they scatter while reindeer stampede. Stampeding sounds scary but really, it's better for the farmer because the herd will stay together. Because of this, all farmed deer that aren't reindeer/caribou (literally the same species) are chipped so if they get out due to damaged fencing or an open gate, they can be tracked, captured and returned. Finally, yeah: they need to forage, so farmed deer are given much, MUCH larger paddocks than cattle or sheep to browse around in. All this said, farmed venison is surprisingly affordable. That supermarket I mentioned yesterday? They sell it for $6-$7/lb or so. I forget the price exactly. That's for mince/ground venison. They have backstraps and other cuts but rarely/intermittently so I'm not sure the price. I might go there tomorrow and can check if anybody really cares.As for flavour, not that anyone asked, farmed reindeer tastes halfway between mutton and beef but very lean. It mostly tastes of beef but definitely has that iron-y taste of mutton that beef just lacks. The meat is friggin purple.Farmed red deer is similar, but milder. The meat is a deeper red than beef but not purple like reindeer. Fallow is the mildest. Basically a lamb-y beef. Think of it as babby's first venison.Wild sourced ones will taste considerably stronger/more gamey.I've never had elk/wapiti, neither wild nor farmed. Maybe someone who has can describe it.
