Question about deer meat.
Hi I got my first mule deer this season.
It was back sometime in November I think the 7th or something. We have had it cut into strips for jerky, etc. but we haven't taken it into a butcher to have the meat actually made into jerky. We have the meat in air tight bags. There issome ice in the bags. Is the meat still okay to get jerky made out of it or is it finished.
thanks guys

I have taken meat that was over a year old in for jerky or sausage with no problems at all.Venison is very lean,and if stored properly,does not go bad for a considerable time.

RE: Question about deer meat.
A guy at work cuts his own deer up and then waits until spring to make sure when he takes it in he knows that he is only getting his, and his deer has not been mixed in with others. You should be ok.
