I bone them and grind it with other rougher cuts for burger. To me it is some of the easiest meat to get at, so why not?

I chop the ribs up into sizeable chunks, and have a Deer Rib BBQ. MMMMMMMMMMMMM, making my mouth water.

Maybe you need to find a better butcher. I probably get more meat from the butcher because I don't know what the heck I am doing. And I don't have a place to do it, or a grinder to make hamburger. Cost me about 50 bucks and I go home with 3 to 4 grocery sacks full of meat cut to my specifications and I don't have to get rid of any of the waste either.

i agree i have been looking for one. found one down the road last year but when i went to there shop it made me sick the disregard for cleanliest

I bone out the deer and leave the whole carcass somewhere for crows and buzzards to feed on. I don't mess with any rib meat.

You guys that cook the ribs for bbq how about a recipe I have tried this before a couple of times but they were so tough it was about like eating shoe leather.

I play them like a Xylophone.....

Theres not enough meat between the ribs to waste the time on. We just let the dogs and cats devoure the rib cages.

There's really two sources of rib meat, depending how you cut it up. There's a layer of muscle over the ribs, it's thin, but there and you can take it off and grind it up, if you are not careful while skinning you can end up with this on the skin!

then between the ribs, takes a few seconds to get it and toss it in the ground.

I love ribs! but never found a way to get deer ribs to be worth cooking. Elk ribs on the other hand are AWESOME!

Either the raccoons get them or we give them to our garbage man and me makes soup out of them. Whatever makes them happy, its good to have the garbage man on your side when you are throwing away things such as rolled up carpet and old furniture!
