Meat is meat.
How lean - or fatty - it is and how it is prepared is the key.
You just can’t cook a piece of deer meat like you can a well marbled cow steak.
round here deer eat pretty much the same thing cows eat and is no problem, predators on the other hand, can have a very gamey taste
I'm smack in the center of the corn belt and you'd be
surprised how good the venison is. I've taken deer and
observed while dressing them that the stomach contents
look like cornbread batter with clover mixed in. VERY
good eating. Some even have a bit of marble. You can
almost interchange recipes with beef in some cases.
