I will agree with those who say that we pay a pretty high price per pound for the venison we get, but we shouldn't forget that venison isn't exactly any old meat so this has a bit of significance to me at least anyway. We would be paying a good piece of change if we bought farm raised venison also. Plus there is a certain satisfaction in knowing that we got the meat ourselves(from field to table), something that the majority of people these days would not know how to do.

I was brought up hunting to survive. When I was a child we had some hard times, I sure dont miss onion sandwiches on day old bread! Now that Im grown up and am fortunate enough to have a decent job I still find myself hunting as a way of survival. If I shoot 2 deer we have enough meet for venison once a week. Last year I took over a dozen and none went to waste, not just for my household but other family members and friends as well. I learned young that if you kill it, you clean it and eat it. And my brother and I do just that.
