Well, last night we cooked up the first batch of hubby's big buck.  Grabbed a couple one pound packages of ground venison out of the freezer, browned it, seasoned it, and make the yummiest batch of soft tacos I've had in a while!  It was WONDERFUL!  No "gamey" taste what-so-ever! 

I think we'll be enjoying "Big Buck Tacos" pretty regularly for a while, as we had quite a bit of meat from his buck this year.  Of course we will be enjoying some "Small Buck Chili", and "Medium-sized Doe Meatballs" as well!  LOL!  I am especially excited for the backstraps and loins.  Plan on making "Venison Tips" over rice, some enchiladas, spaghetti, stews, soups, caseroles...man, I am getting hungry just thinking about it! 

I like the fact that we are giving ourselves and our kids this leaner red meat, without all the chemicals and hormones and antibiotics that much of the beef around here has!  Better quality meat, less fat.  I have had deer that tastes gamey, and I didn't care for it.  But, none of the deer my hubby has ever brought home has ever had a funny taste to it.  Of course, we've purchased half a cow before and had it butchered, and every doggone package of meat we got tasted just awful!  Like a chemical or cleaning solution taste almost!  We sent it back, of course. 

Anyhoo, hope you all are enjoying your venison as well!  I know there are a lot of good recipes posted on other blogs that I plan on checking out!
