I did a medium grind grind on it once through the grinder yesterday. Was a young buck so tender. Should I have ground it more? Seemed decent to me.
Didn't the deer have the hide on it while you were dragging it?
Next time rinse it before you skin it and you only have to rinse the exposed meat. Or you can just trim a thin layer off where the meat has been exposed. Be careful when field dressing to leave as little meat as possible exposed.
