Oh, no - It's deer season again
AlleyGator
and in the freezer and I'm sure the first of December there will be
another one. As far as I'm concerned, you can take out the tenderloin
and throw the rest away. Cook it sliced up in bacon fat, make a nice
gravy with the fat, stock and cream - oh, yeah. Anyway, it's become
so boring - deer steaks, deer burgers, deer chili, deer jerkey (that's
pretty good). I don't want to solicit hundreds of recipes, and I've
seen a few listed in game recipes on a couple of web sites - but I'm
just curious if anyone has a venison recipe that is way out of the
ordinary - not part of the above list, or a stew or anything like
that. Something creative? Anyone?

How about you swaddle yourself in that deer skin, shove an antler up
your ass, and lay out on the interstate while waiting for a semi to
come along... as far as I'm concerned all of you can be thrown away.

I made a hunter's pie using venison topped with a fancy potato topping
that originally is supposed to be a baked potato dish. It came out very
nice.

I know what you mean, it's possible to have TOO much deer meat in the
freezer! Smoked deer sausage is also a good standby. A lot of folks
around here just have the butcher make sausage out of most of it.

Can it. We've been canning vennison since the 1960s, and it's really
quite good. I like nothing more than taking a quart of canned vennison,
adding about 1/2 pound of frozen peas, and serving the whole mess over
mashed potatoes. Or use it to make a stew. Tendy, juicy, and
delicious.
If you've got steaks pan fry them and add about 1/4 cup of currant
jelly just before they are done. Remove the steaks and deglaze the pan
with red wine; serve the wine/jelly sauce over the steak.
If you have lots of venison just make sausage...it's easy to do and fun
for the whole family. We make brats each year and enjoy experimenting
with mixtures like venison and wild rice.

You see, and I am sooo jealous! (well depending on what area of the
country you are in...and the deer is from) I grew up in Michigan (my
birthday being opening day) and have always LOVED venison. I have only
had it once since I moved away and it wasn't the same. :( For some
reason I really never thought about the fact that deer in different
areas of the country would taste differnt due to different diets...
Anyway - I would give anything to have GOOD venison stocked in my
freezer in all it's forms :)

fed to the dogs only. What really angers me is here in Wisconsin they
have deer hunting during the week of, and on Thanksgiving day. So, I
prepare a nice Thanksgiving dinner, all our friends come over and all
the men leave to go hunting (except one guy that dont hunt). So, all
I see of my husband on this holiday is a flash of blaze orange fly out
the door armed with a handful of guns and lots of beer. I end up
spending the holiday with all the wives and that one guy who are all
really fed up with the guys leaving each year. We spend the whole day
waiting for them to come back. When the sun goes down, they all come
tearing into the house, drunk on their asses and full of dirt and
often blood (if they got a deer). Then they all want food, which is
cold by then, so I got to warm everything for them, and listen to them
complain that its taking too long. Half the time they are so drunk
they dont even recall what they ate the next day, and it seems they
always get into a big arguement about someone scaring away a deer or
something stupid like that. So we got to listen to that crap while
they are eating. I am completely fed up with this. At least the
state could eliminate the hunting on Thanksgiving day and give the
guys another day to make it up.
This year the guys are in for a surprise. I am not cooking. I'm
getting a bunch of frozen pizzas and thats what they get, plus the use
of the oven, because they can bake them themselves. Us women are
going to go to a restaurant for our turkey dinners, and may not come
back till midnight.
Happy Fucking Thanksgiving

Can't you think of any party games? Seems like this would be a perfect time
for Naked Mazola Twister. And what's stopping you from boozing it up while
they're gone? Only thing better than Naked Mazola Twister is DRUNKEN Naked
Mazola Twister.

Why not PLAN to have dinner after dark? If you know that they're not going
to be back until after dark, isn't it STUPID to make a banquet that is ready
hours and hours too early? If I were in your bitter worn-out shoes (and GOD
am I glad I'm not!) I'd plan to have dinner ready around 8 PM. That ought to
be enough time for the hunters to get cleaned up and have some nibbles with
cocktails before dinner starts. And with wives like you, I'm sure they NEED
those cocktails.

C'mon, li'l lady, don't be that way...you just don't understand huntin'.
There *are* reasons for the dates applied to the various hunting seasons,
but you wouldn't know about that kind of ecology or forestry; all YOU care
about is your precious Thanksgiving dinner, which you DELIBERATELY turn into
a martyr-fest.

We have always had thanksgiving dinner at noon. My parents and
grandparents did the same. Its tradition, and is not getting screwed
up because the guys want to play war in the woods while they are
drunk. There's 364 other days of the year they can do that nonsense.

Like I said, There's 364 other days of the year they can do that
nonsense. I dont like the idea of killing on a holiday anyhow. My
Tha.... dinner takes a lot more work than drinking beer and blasting
guns at each other or what ever the hell they do out there.

Yup, thats exactly how I feel about it. I suppose they will get all
drunk on Christmas too. If he keeps it up, he's going to be living in
the corner bar with all the other drunks and huntersm and he can sleep
with men instead of me. I'm starting to think that maybe he's like
that better anyhow. I'm just waiting till he starts to bring his guns
to bed with him since he loves his guns and those men more than me.
That's when he leaves. I already threatened him.

I'd give anything to have a gang of guys to serve dinner to, no matter
what the circumstances. ;-) It's just me and my housemate and I LOVE to
cook! If it were me and a bunch of girls, I'd make hot rum toddies and
organinize a good card game.

Oh, so you value a tradition that comes from your PARENTS (not HIS family, I
note) more than you value your marriage. Nice.
There are *not* 364 other days in deer-hunting season, nor are there 364
days when all his friends have time off from work. I'd chuck your
tradition; I see no value in it. When you marry, you're supposed to form a
NEW family with your husband. I see that you haven't, nor do you intend to.
Deal with the situation as it *is*, not as how you *wish* it were.

There's another problem with your attitude. I cook elaborate meals on
holidays because I *enjoy* doing it. It's almost like I'm performing on
stage. Rather than embracing the opportunity to showcase your skills,
you've turned it into drudgery. You've turned what SHOULD be an occasion of
social and familial warmth into a bitch session. Shame on you!

I doubt that any of this will sink in, but in truth, you haven't come up
with a single thing that I consider a valid complaint.

your ass, and lay out on the interstate while waiting for a semi to come
along... as far as I'm concerned all of you can be thrown away.
Sheldon
Why's that Sheldon?
I gather from this you not only hate Venison, but hate people who hunt?
If so, maybe you have gotten a wrong imprssion at some point in your
life, perhaps a bad childhhod memory that soured you against the sport,
and those that partake in it? Honestly, I don't know?
I've hunted in my younger years, pretty much small game, and Fowl, but
never Deer Hunting, and enjoy Target, and Trap/Skeet.
While I'll eat Venison if it's prepared properly, I personally dislike
the thought also of killing Deer.... but I have no qualms about those
that wish to, provided they do so in a legal, and responsible manner.
Yes, there's always the clowns who give the "sport" a bad rep.
I parenthesize the word sport, as I myself actually don't see the sport
in shooting a Deer with a High power rifle, or shotgun with slugs.
It would truly be a sport if the Deer was maybe shooting back?
Truth is, in many states without hunting, the overpopulation of Deer
would be unbelieveable.
Way more deer would actually die from disease, than from hunting. Even
states that you wouldn't suspect hold vast numbers of Deer population,
let's say like West Virginia.
I read one year 48,000 animals were killed, and the state was still
overrun.
I respect your opinon Sheldon, and you're entitled to it. As I mentioned
earlier, for those who do so legally, and responsibly, I have no
problems with. If you eat any other meat, it's essentially the same
thing, except the slaughterhouses, and butcher is making it painless for
you. Mark

Wow. We have some control issues happening here. Deer hunting season is short.
There are not 364 other days to do it. It's a real bonus for a deer hunter to
have holiday time so that he can go hunting. Deer hunting is usually a morning
thing, or late afternoon, so he could do his hunting and be back right after
dark, which is a good time for a nice hearty meal.
But nooooooo...... you family had supper at lunch time so you have to rain on his
parade.
However, I draw the line at drinking and shooting. The deer hunters I know retire
to the cabin for beverages. Only fools drink while they are hunting. If he is
one of those guys who drinks while he hunts I wouldn't let him back in the
trailers. Make him sleep under the porch with the hounds.

1) Take whole dressed cuts and roasts of venison, plus the trimmed choicest
offal, and wrap each piece individually in sterile muslin cloths, and leave
refrigerated until excess surface moisture is no longer present - the meat
should feel dry to the touch.
2) Unwrap each piece, then wrap once more but in /fresh/ pieces of muslin.
3) Place into a spotlessly clean, sturdy cardboard box or clean plywood case
into which has been placed about a pound of *dried* salt, split 8 ways into
small muslin wraps evenly distributed around the box/case, making certain
there is no room for the meats to jostle.
4) Immediately Fed-Ex Overnite or similar the cased meats to me here in
England.
5) Sit back with a large glass of something gorgeous and feel the immense
and soul filling satisfaction that comes with gifting generously to someone
appreciative.

Since when is it a state's responsibility to sort out self centred men?
That's between you all and your husbands. What about those folk who enjoy
hunting this day, who are either single, or who's SO's allow them to do so
and happily under whatever arrangement(s) the couple/family has worked out?
Should they suffer because you won't tell these men to get the fuck in line
and stop being arseholes?!?

Now THIS is more like it - way to freaking go Shirley and friends! Just a
damned pity you let this shit go on for so long before calling time on it.
Here's to hoping they get the damned message and learn from it too, and that
you women all learn better to not be made skivvies of in the future. Let
someone walk over you once, it gets harder for you to stop them the next
time, and easier for them to do it again, and the cycle keeps on building. I
hope dearly that you all enjoy yourselves, truly.
If I come across a little harsh here, it's because I seriously dislike
anyone being walked all over, but don't have much time for those that allow
it to happen to them continually while doing no more than bitching to
outsiders about it. I really do not mean any offence, and wish for you that
the situation improves.
Be well, take good care, and happy TG (hopefully!)

Hi Sheldon. I almost bought the farm a while back, but now I'm in

I hunt, but I don't hunt deer anymore. My son is the fanatic there.
Call me a wuss, but I know I just can't shoot a deer again. I don't
know why - guess I've become soft. However, if you lived here where
the deer are thicker than flies, you'd be hopinig SOMEONE kills a few
thousand of them. The car/deer accident numbers are off the charts
here. In the last 5 years, we have personally had 4 insurance claims
for the same. One of them, the deer came through the windshield and
put my son in the hospital. Turn out of my driveway and head down the
country road just after dawn or before dusk - both sides of the road
look like a deer farm. I usually stop mowing the field next to the
house just before fall arrives. It provides cover for them, and most
any evening, I can step out the front door, walk 20 feet left, shine a
light and see dozens of pairs of eyes looking at me - all of them
bedded down for the night, right out in the field - and we're infested
with coyotes, but AFAIK they have never attacked any of them in the
field. Also, while people hunt deer just off the way and behind the
treeline, they can't shoot deer in the field next to my house. First
of all, the distance rule is involved and secondly, everyone around
here knows I don't allow it and it's posted. A few friends come here
and that's it. My son doesn't even hunt here, he goes to a different
county, because a friend has a few thousand acres, and it's a much
nicer place to go to and spend some time relaxing. A garden is
impossible here. Two times, I have had does leap the fence into the
immediate yard where the dogs stay, panic, and totally destroy my
fence trying to get out. I think they're beautiful, but they're also
just short of vermin sometimes.

For such timid creatures, they sure are dangerous. We have had two cars
seriously damaged within 100 yards of our house after colliding with deer.
Didn't do any good for the poor creatures either. There was one killed about
500 yards down the road the other day. I know two guys who have totalled
their cars while driving from her to Winnipeg through Michigan, one guy who
totalled two cars hitting deer in Florida, and a few years ago a friend was
seriously hurt in Virginia while he was driving his mother down to Florida.
The deer came right through the windshield and broke 6 of his teeth. I
spent a year and a half working on a highway crew and we used to pick up
dead deer almost every day.
I have come close to hitting a few deer myself. When travelling on country
roads at night I always use my high beams because you have a better chance
of spotting the glow in their eyes at a distance. Never relax when deer gets
off the road. They almost always travel in groups, so when one gets off the
road another is likely to follow it.
Moose are even more of a hazard than deer. They are about four times larger,
and when struck by a car they tend to fall ont he hood and then through the
windshield. One of the scariest driving experiences I ever had was driving
down an big hill and around a corner on a rainy road and spotted a bull
moose at the side of the road.
A friend of mine had a beautiful house on the side of a mountain on
Vancouver Island. He had a nice garden but the local deer population kept
eating all the flowers.
Mark D
whatever they may be.
I've personally seen unethical practices partaken by hunters, like
tresspassing with no regards for other's property, and once even seen a
family of 8 march through the woods 100' apart, walking through like
they were police on the search for a fugitive killer.
This family I speak of though were extremely poor at the time, so I do
understand their desperation in that they needed the food for
substinance, and not for bragging rights, or a Trophy Mount hanging on
their wall.

PSSST, there's this thing called DIVORCE. Relatively new concept. It's
where you leave.
Better yet, how about marry someone who shares common interests with you?
Obviously this man didn't just start hunting out of the blue (or maybe he
did to get away from your whining). You knew he hunted when you married
him. So why exactly *did* you marry him?

Probably wouldn't matter much to them, Shirley. I doubt anything you could
cook would be worthwhile. I'm also wondering why, just because your mother

Ever hear of dinner at 8? Or heck, even 4PM?

I dunno. If, on what is supposed to be a family holiday (from everything
I'm told), my husband and male _guests_ took off somewhere else, came
home drunk, expected the food heated up for them, and complained that it
took too long, _every_ year, I don't think I'd be any too happy either.

Anyone who drinks and hunts should be shot. That's a deadly

combination. Many years ago, when I was in college, a local "town"
friend used to take me hunting (oftentimes just "shooting" at targets
and such) on his dad's land which was a little over 600 acres. It was
fun and relaxing. Then I began to notice his behavior changeing, and
finally caught him pulling out a bottle of Jack Daniels and taking a
swig. That was it - I had no where else to go shoot, but I'll be
danged if I was going to hang around a drunk guy with a gun. Never
talked to him again. Actually, I did talk to him once and he tried to
apologize, but I value my life too much. I had no reason to believe
he would stop drinking. He showed up at the house I lived in drunk
and holding a bottle while my parents were visiting, for cryin out
loud. I think he was a confirmed alcoholic at age 20. Sad.

If every year, the men go hunting,why does she prepare dinner at noon.
It would seem to me that after all these years, and discussions about
his hunting, she would learn to have dinner at 8 P.M.
And seeing as he is part of the "Family Holiday" he (and the other
hunters) should have a say in the timing of the day.
I think that this woman has a control problem. My EX wife had a

The German's have a saying: "Whose bread you eat, his song you sing". In
our family, my long-labouring mother called the shots on when we ate. If
we had a school play, she'd adjust, but we ate dinner, weekend, 1 pm
sharp, and weekdays 6 pm sharp. Anyone who grinds through 6 kids on a
low income, a wringer washer, and everything from scratch, working from
before 7 am to after 8 pm day after day, year after year, deserves
special consideration. Now, nearly 90 and cleaning up after and cooking
for my even older father, she pokes her chin out and nods everytime he
brags about how much she's saving him (in would-be nursing home bills).

Perhaps she could adjust the dinner time, and the other wives and "the

also a control problem to object to the men all returning home for
dinner drunk? I certainly wouldn't fuss much with the food, if they can't

Mind you, as others have mentioned, hunting and alcohol are not a good

Did they in fact come home drunk. Or is it the person who is unhappy
about the hunting using the standard slap against hunters.
I belong to a hunt club, and we (the members) will have a drink after
the days hunt, not get drunk. One of the members will get drunk,after
the hunting is done for the day, and will be transported home. But
then he gets drunk when is not hunting. And a rule of the club is that
all guns are put up before the bottle is opened.

That is again the slap against the hunters. If you noticed that every
one that spoke here was against drinking while hunting or handling
arms at any time.

I don't remember if I've replied or not, so this may be a repeat. We
use the ground meat in pasta sauces and chilis.

That's what I was thinking. It is a marital problem, not a hunting
problem.

And if it works out right, you get a freezer full of meat. It's not
a bad exchange, if you ask me.

So you are one of those people who enjoys turkey for breakfast. This
year, we had nobody going home the same day, so we had a late brunch at
around 11:00 and _DINNER_ at 6:00. Get over yourself. Holiday
traditions are about both parties to a marriage. If the holiday hunt
bothers you, perhaps you can encourage him to do so the day after, but
becoming bitter and nasty will never change him and will only ruin your
life. He may never change, but at least you can take the high road and
enjoy your life.

In general, this is how things are done here. I cook, so I pick the
meals, I arrange meal times, etc. However, and this is a big however, I
also don't make food I know my husband hates, plan dinner for when he is
at work, etc. I am not the only person in our marriage, and he deserves
to have some say, in the things that affect him. I couldn't care less
about a salad at Thanksgiving, because of the relish tray and all the
vegetable side dishes, but Rich likes it, so I make sure there is one,
even if it is asking a family member to bring one. When Rich had to
work on holidays, we made sure our meal was done when he could be at
home. I understand that hunting isn't a job in the example here, but it
is his day of rest as well, and the time can be adjusted to when he is
present, rather than stewing all day while the food gets cold.

That's a possibility. I was just working from the supposition that she
was telling the truth. However, as I don't know the woman, and she's
obviously not happy, perhaps it's not true. I suppose I also had the
background of having associated with property owners whose stock were
killed when city boys came out running around in utes with beer and guns.
While there are certainly many responsible hunters etc (as with you and
your club) there are also idiots in this country, and I would have to
assume in yours as well, who will mix alcohol and shooting.

Sorry - what's a slap against the hunters? I mentioned hunting as that
was what was being discussed in this situation. Mixing alcohol with the
use of any dangerous equipment is not a good idea.
The woman certainly seems to be unhappy. There are probably other issues
besides Thanksgiving dinner. However, I don't know the whole situation,
and can't say that she is entirely at fault any more than I could say
that her husband is. I simply mentioned that I'd be a little unhappy if
people came home drunk to dinner. Maybe she can change the situation, or
maybe that's difficult - I'm not in a situation to know.As Ranee
mentioned, she could take the high road, but that's not always easy to
do! <g>

IME, the vast majority of hunters follow the law and are courteous.
If for no other reason than that the law is strictly enforced and they
don't want to have penalties levied against them and lose their hunting
license. There are bad seeds, but they are few and far between and are
sneered at by the majority of hunters. They are a nasty group, though,
and leave a far greater impression.
