RE: How often do you eat venison???
Two of us will eat 6 or 7 deer per year. Sometimes we'll eat it 4 times a week, but probably average 2 or 3. We generally run out just before bow season starts again in Oct. We will also give away a few packages, but most of it we eat ourselves.
Here's one of my favorite recipes.
Flour and brown a couple ofpounds of meat, steak or backstrap, it doesn't matter.
Put in a pot with water, put in a cut up onion, and stew the meat. Later add a package of stew mix, a can of tomato sauce, if you want a can of stewed tomatoes. Cook slowly til meat gets tender and starts to fall apart.
Serve on a bed of white rice.
Try not to eat so much as to make yourself sick.

As often as Mrs. Six cooks it.
Usually more during the fall and winter and less during the rest of the year. Right now, I'm having a roast or steak a couple times a week. Once my jerky meat is done freezing for another month and ready for curing, I'm sure I'll be woofing down a good bit every day.

No lie, we havent bought any meat other than chicken, or sandwich meat, since early November.
I made a 100 lbs of deer sausage back then, had a 180lb hog proccesed, one deer, and processed 2 more myself. My feezers are busting out. Just ate some sausage for dinner, had deer steaks last night, and will have some of the hog pan sausage for breakfast tommorow.

RE: How often do you eat venison???
Me the wife and two kids eat it 2-3 times a week. We are allowed 12 a year down here. Between me, my father-n-law and my wifes Uncle and Cousin that's a possible 48 animals. We took 13 all together last year and i took 3 this year. I have a 150 cubic foot freezerfull. And i still have a week left. We serve it at family get togethers too, so we eat a lot of venison. What we have left after filling our own freezers goes to Grand parents and we usually donate one or two to the local shelter. I eat maybe 50 bucks worth of beef in a year. We raise our own chickens and i have a garden. We eat fish and small game pretty regular too as we have a 5 acre pond.

RE: How often do you eat venison???
Venison is delicious, no doubt about it. I think that the key to good venison is not overcooking it. It's best medium. I eat it maybeonce a week. We have to start eating more because that freezer's fuuulllll.
We had some left from last year.
Venison beats any other meat hands down.
