Nice one! Where'd you get him?

 

[Spot77]

It sure would be nice if the hunters on the forum got together and threw a Venison bbq for the moderators of MdShooters......


side topic: A buddy of mine soaks his deer meat in milk to remove the gamey taste....does anybody else do that?

If you cool the meat as fast as possible and trim all the fat there is no "gamey taste" to deal with.
I do soak pieces of venison overnight in buttermilk to marinate and soften the meat and then batter it and fry it up. The buttermilk gets all gooey and somewhat congealed and the breading just sticks to it. Can also be used with chicken, rattlesnake, and catfish.
Very yummy.

?? i plan on that too, i don't shoot anything unless i plan to eat them. I don't loose or waste any meat having a shoulder mount done.

 

[biermkr]

Just send a PM so I can make sure I have something on tap for you. We can also head up to Thurmont and send some rounds downrange.

Nice buck.

+1 bleeding it out as much as possible and not getting the fur on the meat prevent "gamey meat".

 

[biermkr]

Generally with a good heart/lung or neck shot bleeding out is not an issue.
But I did forget about the hair. Good point.
