RE: How Much do you eat??
I like to have 2-3 in the freezer every year and then I make it a mission to make sure it's all cleaned out by hunting season.
I am the only one who eats it and I think I need to ease up on the processed stuff a bit (bologna, sausage,jerky etc) and get back to good ol' grilling and roasting.
I've been on a roll of marinading and grilling up the rest of the doe I shot in IL last year and holy crap is it good.[:-]
I've eaten 4 steaks and a whole backstrap in the last few days with tenderloins thawing and another 2 pack of steaks.Those IL does are gonna be in trouble this year.
And no way is anyone going to get me to say that Rob's bologna tastes good. [

2-3 per year for my immediate family, that does not include my mother and father, who eat 1-2 more.
But the real question is, who is going to start a thread on favorite venison recipies? Sausages, ground meat, steaks, whatever.

The wife very rairly eats meat so right now it is just me eating the deer. I personally eat about 2 deer a year (an average of a 1 lb package every 2 days, or about 180 lbs of venison).

RE: How Much do you eat??
There are only two of us so I voted 1-2 deer/year. We also eat a lot of chicken since we raise/butcher our own meat chickens. Plus with a core group of 50 laying hens of varying ages, we butcher the older ones every year to make room for younger hens. Add to that a couple of wild turkeys and some wild rabbit and dove thrown in for good measure that means just a little supplemental pork and beef from the store once or twice a month.
