Venison-longer in the freezer=less gamey?
It has become an annual ritual in my household, I shoot a doe early in the season, butcher it up and put it in the freezer. After a month or so thewife takes out some of the burger or roast and cooks it up and the kitchen smells like venison and the kids won't eat it. Wonder what we did wrong and the meat goes untouched until the start of the next season when it is time to clean out the freezer. I feel bad throwing it out so I give it one more chance and now 9 months later it's perfect. Can't smell a thing when it's cooked and the kids love it. We eat every last package.Took some to work and the 3 people that tried it thoughtI had mistakenly grabbed beef. So my question is does the time in the freezer help tame the flavor?
