Venison Rib Roast

I am the same, it starts in the field with good clean field dressing and then picky processing.

I was actually amazed how much worse it was using the processor. Its amazing to me how much they "ruined" the taste of the meat and that the majority of hunters think that this is normal. IMO, This is exactly why people don't like deer meat.

That, along with the number of processors that blend meat for grinding and sausage...

100% agree on processing at home. World of difference, and the scraps get ground for the dog that eats it throughout the year. Saves a bit on dry food and it is healthier than any dog food on the market.

very nice work!

agreed about doing it yourself. you know it was treated the best it could be. you get the cuts you want, you get to eat some fresh, you get more meat, packed perfectly....... lots reasons homemade is the best. grandpa showed me on my first deer in 81. me and gramps skinned thousands of critters. he raised rabbits and had me skinning as soon as i could reach the line off a bucket! we would skin 200 at a time sometimes. i remember him setting there afterwards and gently cutting the gull bladder off the livers with his pocket knife. grandma would fry up a huge pile. man talk about some good eats!

I got to be honest my the dogs would eat any trash meat I made. I could trim all the connective tissue, fat and junk and cook it and they'd love it. I can't use them as taste abatures. But maybe, that trash is better than kibble? I haven't tried each, so I can't compare and only make assumptions.

I rendered deer fat one year and sliced the flank out of a buck. Nice flank strip, covered in deer fat on each side. Too hard to trim, but thought after rendering it would make nice dog bacon. As I was was cooking I was like "Damn, that looks good." Then I ate one and felt like someone cisco'd the roof of my mouth. Then I remembered "this is why I don't like deer fat!"

Exactly! I had a similar experience growing up!

LOL! Yep, deer fat is fine in very small quantities, but is like waxy varnish to the roof of your mouth!
