RE: gamie meat
 

We mix our burger with 20% pork butt roast and we have never had a problem.

RE: gamie meat
 

mix with pork is pretty good. It is just dry with out other suet. I like to make taco meat out of it. Just adda a package of taco seasoning and the game flavor is gone. Wife and kids even eat it :)

RE: gamie meat
 

hell i dont add suet to mine, never had a gamey anything that i can remember....

but anymore beef hamburger tastes like an oil slick.

RE: gamie meat
 

There are only two reasons for meat to taste "gamie".

1. The meat was not processed properly. There is a ton of info on this subject. I recommend getting a good book on butchering/aging and preparing.
2. Wrong recipe. Your brain is anticipating the way a meal is supposed to taste, based on past experience. If another meat was used as a substitute, it will taste like something is wrong with the recipe. Further, since the only thing different is the meat, you will beleive that something is wrong with it, or it tastes "gamie". To avoid this scenario, only use game animals in recipies that you are used to eating them in (old family favorites), or try new recipes. There are some great recipies out there for game animals, but there is something funny about a venison burger when you're used to beef and vise-versa.

I ran in to this problem this year, too, although my animals are gamey whether it's cuts or ground. I half expected it, because I got a very old whitetail buck and a muley doe. My experience is very much like 121553 on whitetails vs. muleys.

Anyhow, make sure you are trimming your meat for ground as carefully as your cuts. Sometimes people get a little sloppy on the bound-for-ground meat.

I've been cooking my steaks after a long marinade, not usually my choice because I like the flavor of game, normally. For burger, try frying them in bacon grease, this will cover a lot of the gaminess. My muley has a strong brushy flavor that seems to blend really well with garlic salt for some reason. So I have just fried the burger normally with her, then substituted garlic salt for regular salt and that has worked well to disguise the flavor.

Ipersonally love the gamey taste of deer, especially in chilli.

RE: gamie meat
 

i've personally never tasted any "gamie" meat. however i only hunt in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. "gamie" meat must be a northern thing.

RE: gamie meat
 

Is that why all your animals end up being gut shot? :D[:'(]

The devil made me say that, I just couldn't resist it.
