We don't eat it as much. My wife is not a huge fan of venison but I give a good bit away to patients, friends, and family. However I know one guy who has not bought meat from a store in so long he can't remember and the only meat they eat is venison. He told me once that it takes 13 deer to feed his family for one year. I like it but dang, I got to have a rib eye at some point! I try to put 2 deer a year in the freezer and I give most of it away.

I have family members, specifically my father and father-in-law who's families relied on hunting, fishing, farming and trading goods to get what they needed to survive. They would butcher a hog, smoke and hang the meat once or twice a year, but most of what they ate was wild game. This is how my people lived, not that long ago. So yes, it's heritage for some of us.
Have we gotten that far from what hunting was originally all about? I'd rather have free range wild game, specifically those animals that don't feed on GMO AG crops with herbicide/pesticides used year after year. I can tell you, the only red meat in my freezer right now is white tail deer of the Tennessee and Alabama variety!

Now I probably don't need deer meat to sustain me or my family but we eat our share. Years ago after my father had open heart surgery, his cardiologist told him to limit the red meat unless it was venison. Dr. told him he could eat all of that he wanted. I can't say it is the only red meat I eat, but it is the majority. I've got to break down and have a good ribeye every now and then though.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

We eat 2-3 a year. We get breakfast sausage, cubed, ground , smoked sausage and 2 or 3 roast. Sure does help the grocery bill and better for you.

we eat venison almost exclusively. I will buy a steak bout once a month, porkchops everyr. now and then. Wife can make anything from venison from meatloaf to tacos. I try to put 5-6 deer in the freezer every year and that about fills it up. This exactly at our house. Other than a good ribeye and pork chops we eat deer. Haven't bought store burger in more years than I can remember. My daughter and I together killed 2 bucks and 4 does this season. That is about average. The bucks did not have great racks, but were mature.. I do get a little smoked sausage made after we get enough burger. Substitute seafood and chicken for the ribeye. I almost forgot those 2 gobblers I get most years.

We will eat around 2 a year. Its healthier, it helps on the grocery bill but most of all we just like it as good if not better except for Ribeyes.

Better eat them before CWD gets them.
