Zubba,
My wife was the same way for a long time. But she’s really into health and exercise and diet, which goes along with the life style. She read and article one time that talked about all the good stuff that you can do with venison and became a believer (in everything that I’d already been telling her for years). So she’s the one who bought me some books to read about preparation and care of venison, and also a couple of really good cookbooks.
I’ve gotten to the point where I treat venison like a delicacy, because it is. Each meal is prepared as if for a king. My wife now loves it. One reason is that I’m the one who cooks it and two because it truly is very good, and good for you.

It’s pretty cool when you get them hooked on it, because then they want you to go hunting!
