Like you Jeff, I'm very particular when it comes to my deer meat. I trim, pull, poke and cut everything off that I don't care for. That is what makes for the best eating and not doing so is what turns people off of game meats.
I even went so far as to find a butcher who does balogna for individual people because I do not want my meat mixed in with others for the same process. Needless to say, you can eat my bologna and meat without fear. Wait, that didn't sound right.
