In honor of the season....... Does anyone have any good deer camp or wild game recipes to share?

I just love Vension steaks with wild rice. Nothing special or hard to make, just some simple seasonings on the steaks and some "real" wild rice, not the stuff out of a box. Get the grill nice and hot;I grill them just like sirloins. Simple and great flavor

Sorry. I hunt out of my backyard.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kb9yhhflmvY Because of the thread title. I had to do it.

I always make sure that I save enough meat from the previous year to make a pot of Venison Stew for the hunt. There is nothing that quite hits the spot like a steaming bowl of Venison Stew loaded with potatoes, onions and carrots with some crusty bread after a long, cold day of hunting.

OMG...too funny!

Oh wow, I used to cook alot of venison but since the Horrible Rotten Roast of "82". Now I struggle with eating straight venison. All of mine goes to the locker to make summer sausage and deer sticks now. On that note........beware who you take your venison to for that sort of processing. I quit going to one local place that tosses ALL the deer that come in, into one communal vat. That means Joe Sixpack's ( [:D] ) wanna-be-a-trophy buck that he left sit in the driveway for 2 days, before he bothered gutting and skinning it, in 60 degree heat, goes in with my properly processed nice tender young doe. The place I go now, processes each one individually. So the meat I take in, is the meat I get back.

My ex Master took a nice buck, about 235 lbs....the day before we were going away for a few days. The weather was too warm that year to leave it hang so we took it to a highly recommended processor. I was shocked....and really pissed....when I went to pick it up and got back a 35 box of meat. Never again. I do all of my own processing. Gutting, hanging, skinning and butchering. You will not find a speck of silver skin left on my meat. I remove the brain to tan the hide with and then I cart the carcass back to the woods to nourish the critters.

I'm lazy; I let someone else process it for me. I mostly have it made into sausage and jerky. But I do get some meat for stewing and a few steaks. One of the things I love to make is chili with venison. You just follow your favorite chili recipe, and substitute the beef for venison.

mistoferin -> RE: Deer Camp/Wild Game Recipes (10/13/2008 9:55:59 AM)
I love venison chili! One of my other favorites is to take some of the tougher cuts and run them through the cuber to tenderize them a bit (not too much though or they will just fall apart). Then I make country fried steak with them and top it with a mushroom gravy that I make from the morels that I save. Some roasted red skins and a spinach salad with strawberry poppyseed dressing.....YUM!

Erin, I was camping this past weekend with a group of old friends, and one of the guys made Venison Lasagna in a dutch oven which was served for supper. It was absolutely Incredible! (It was a good weekend - quit regularly doing the SCA thing about 11 years ago, but have finally started getting things back together so I can use it as a sales outlet. Partied to much, got to hang with folks I haven't seen in a decade who were shocked and oddly enough thrilled to see that I'm still alive and breathin, found a couple of new boytoys to put on da leash for their occassional enertainment value.... all in all, a great time.)

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Deer Camp/Wild Game Recipes (10/13/2008 10:16:47 AM)
I really do not like chili... never have. I think it's because ground meat is a problematic food for me. Stews are great! Dad and I always talk about Meat We Have Had, and are sad that no one has any pheasant or elk to share... lol! Have you checked the MUCC website, Erin? I used to watch Michigan Outdoors, and there were all sorts of recipes that looked good. One was for a stew inside of a pumpkin, I nearly made it. I didn't though, no one would have touched it but me. [&:]

mistoferin -> RE: Deer Camp/Wild Game Recipes (10/13/2008 10:19:51 AM)
that sounds like a blast....and the lasagna sounds yummy too!!!

Pheasant are so yummy and it's not like they come in quantity. Elk come in huge quantity...however, it's really hard to get an Elk tag. Unless of course you want to go to one of those canned hunt farms.....and I just absolutely refuse!!! The meat is awesome good though. And I love pumpkin stew....I'll make it for you and me because no one else here will eat it either.

LadyHibiscus -> RE: Deer Camp/Wild Game Recipes (10/13/2008 10:25:38 AM)
I accept!! Have you had bear? I want the pelt, mainly, but I wouldn't want to not eat the meat too... Not that I am even in LINE for a bear tag, of course!

mistoferin -> RE: Deer Camp/Wild Game Recipes (10/13/2008 10:29:09 AM)
I have had bear and it's awesome! I have a friend who does not buy any meat for his family, they eat exclusively what he hunts....and he hunts a lot. His wife has become quite the expert game cook. I had the wonderful opportunity to have bear roast at their home one night...and OMG it was to die for. Tell you what, if I ever get brave enough to start hunting bear....the 2nd pelt is your. (The first one is mine of course....I really love ya but there are limits...lol)

hizgeorgiapeach -> RE: Deer Camp/Wild Game Recipes (10/13/2008 10:33:15 AM)
You'd be surprised at how many wild game recipes I can dig up because of the whole RenFaire/SCA/Medieval thing. At the moment I'm struggling to put together a full menu of 7 removes to cater for 200 for one of the events that's being planned for next year, but keep things within at least a semi-reasonable budget. I'm hoping I can get a couple of the guys to commit to letting me have several venison roasts or about 10lbs of venison cut for stew so that I can put it in the freezer for that. (It's not like they'll realize I snitched a pound or two for myself lolol)

cjan -> RE: Deer Camp/Wild Game Recipes (10/13/2008 10:34:34 AM)
Hey, LadyH, the best chili is made with chunks of meat rather than ground. Gives ya something to sink your teeth into, yanno. Try it, you may find that you like chili.

slaveboyforyou -> RE: Deer Camp/Wild Game Recipes (10/13/2008 10:41:59 AM)
Yep I agree cjan. Good chili should have a stew like consistency. In fact, I use stew meat for chili. Now there are a thousand recipes for it. I for one don't think beans, tomatoes, or onions have any place in chili. Meat, suet, and fresh peppers make a are all that should be in it. But I have friends that disagree with me.
