I can prob pull that one off. Went deer hunting with my uncle in Arkansas when I was back visiting my mom and grandma during the girls Christmas vacation brought 2 home and was wanting to try and make some chili thanks svk

All chili should contain Rotel. N/A in Canada but I import it!

Respectfully, you suck

But it reminds me to check if Makita do a cordless belt sander.

Those are work vans, we run 8 of them and about 15 pickup trucks, so lots of dollars in tools. I spend around $3 or 4000 a month at Millbank. We use the recips to trim trees sometimes. $2000 in the front seat and $2500 in the back before Christmas.
I cut this pile of logs with the new 60 flexvolt recip saw..

That's the same framing nailer model I just bought. Trouble is it won't take nor shoot our standard 90mm nails because I bought the USA rather than Canada/Oz/NZ version. The difference is the shear blocks and bending flat a wee upright tab in the magazine channel that restricts the length of nail that will fit in the magazine. The NZ distributor refused to sell me the shear block because I didn't buy the nailer through them (cough*bastards*cough) so I bought it in Canada and it's on its way.

Ironically I have about 5 packages of venison round steak defrosting on my counter right now for that very same thing.

I just use McCormick seasoning. One packet of hot, one packet regular with the ingredients listed below.

-4 lbs of cubed steak, all fat, silver skin, and gristle removed. (Or burger works too)
-As much garlic as you want
-1 chopped large yellow onion
-1 chopped green pepper
-1 chopped red sweet pepper
-1 "box" of fresh mushrooms, chopped
-29 oz can of tomato sauce

Brown meat in a pan and drain fat. Add all ingredients to Dutch oven or crockpot. Cool for 5-8 hours,stirring occasionally. Add beer to the chef while cooking.

FIXED for accuracy.

Excellent. Did that one end up in the pan or back in the pond?

Back in the pond. The majority of the time I am a C&R angler. I make exceptions from time to time for bass, lake trout, perch, and walleye.

Does anyone have any good deer chili recipes?

No need for a special "deer" recipe. Take your favorite chili recipe and substitute all or a portion of the beef for deer and you are good to go.

I love me some Rotel.

Any time you are cooking venison, especially steaks, marinate it and add sliced ginger root as an ingredient. You will remove any gammy taste. Onions, garlic, olive oil, kikoman teriyaki, cajun spice are all good too.

Just had some rump stakes last night. Do not over cook venison!

So apparently in my area of NC if any snow is in the forecast it's like the end of the world. I just had some people stop at my house to ask if I want to sell them wood. I tried to explain I barely have enough dry wood for my family this year and all the wood they see is still green.

I always soak my venison in salt water before hand. Meat cuts that is.

It draws out the blood and removes a lot of gaminess.

I 100% agree on not overlooking.

This is a back strap I cooked a couple weeks ago.


Gave the neighbor a few pieces and asked him what he thought it was. He said the best roast beef he's ever tasted.

The look on his face was great when I told him it was venison.

Girlfriend absolutely loved it.

We're expecting plus temperatures next week so I'm heading back to the bush tomorrow to try to get the 5 trees that I already have down on the ground before it gets to be a mess there again. We got some snow but hopefully most of it blew away in the bush and they are uncovered. Likely drop a bunch more while I'm at it to make a load or 3. Son just drove in with my empty dump trailer, guy stopped in today and bought the load of firewood. Said he ran out of wood. WTF it's Jan 06th. Of course he only bought the one load, he'll be out in a month or so likely. We'll reload it, park it out front of his highway location and throw the For Sale sign on it again.

All my wild game gets a marinade bath. When done right the only giveaway it's wild game is the tighter grain of the meat.

Do not over cook venison!

Rare or medium rare at the most. Otherwise it is over done.

Looks almost over done but still in that just right territory.

As for marinade. I don't do that at all. I wont marinate any of my deer or steak. The gamey taste comes from excessive fat that wasnt trimmed off the meat. Trim the fat and no gamey taste. I do my own deer so I can control this part. I just salt, 5 pepper blend, and a touch of this seasoned hot sauce I have and on the grill. The only deer I grill is back straps and tenderloins. The rest of the deer gets turned into hamburgers.

NA, I butcher my own also, and yes, I cook it rare (benp is almost on the border of too well done). There are a LOT of good steaks in the hind qtr, often just as good as backstrap. Just seperate out the muscle groups, and make steak out of what you can. The one main muscle in the hind qtr is just as good & tender as backstrap, you are really wasting it turning it into burger!

Was cooking venison steaks one day a few years ago for company. Everyone said they wanted it medium, so I made some medium, and some rare, and had everyone try some of each. They all preferred the rare.

we just had the first half of the big storm hit and My grass is "almost" covered. Second wave is set to hit tonite, forcast is anywhere from 3 to 8 inches. I had the power company cut 4 pines that set right in the corner of the powerline and my house yesterday. Last winter I thought one of them was going to fall. I had a tree guy come out a few months ago to take it down, but because of the proximity to the power lines, they where almost touching, he wouldnt fool with it. Power company used a bucket truck and chipped the brush. Didnt cost me anything so I'm glad the tree guy didnt do the work. Anyways, wife has plenty of milk and bread, we loaded up the basement with dry wood. Let it snow
