So Whild Bill and I were pontificating last evening over a nice Old fashion pour, and came to the conclusion that while Hunting is great time spent in the outdoors, the spoils of harvesting a deer are just sort off a letdown (Talking whitetail specifically obviously not Elk) I mean, I'm okay with a fried Cube steak or Chili, but surely we all can agree that any ground deer made in the form of a burger or the breakfast sausage just can't compete with what they sell at the local Piggly Wiggly. It's nice to find things we can all agree on, right fellas??

Grilled Backstop with jalapenos and a dab of cream cheese is one the best things I can put in my mouth. Piggly Wiggle cant touch that.

Cream cheese??!! Good golly, Miss Molly, I bet you eat at Olive Garden to boot!!

I was In general referring to what folks do with the majority of the deer, ground meat.... An unmixed deer burger....No thanks fellas

i get smoked hickory hunter sticks made out of the entire deer. Expensive but very good. Even the kids love them.

The burger I make myself is better than anything you can buy at the sto. Need to get all the silver skin and any fat off of it, and there are also glands that will make the meat have a funky taste.

I don’t know about the majority of processed deer but for mine, the finest cuts go to the grill(whole), crock pot or Dutch oven as roasts, or stir fry. I’ll occasionally grind some venison burger for tacos or spaghetti. The rest goes into sausages.

I process my own and mix my ground deer 80/20 with brisket. It is hands down the best ground meat I have had. Even my wife likes it and she is not a wild game person. A back strap cooked rare in a hot iron skillet and garlic butter is finer than most steaks. I’m not a huge fan of smoked deer sausage.

You lost me when you said you and Whild Bill were fornicating 😂😂😂

Reckon he means they were grinding sausages 😲

Every-time I take my deer to have processed I hand write on the ticket:
"Cube the best and grind the rest"

Sometimes I will have my back straps cut into jerky slices to make jerky out of it.

We eat lots of burger at our house (tacos, spaghetti, chili, soups, lasagna, etc.) and we never buy beef burger unless we are having burgers.

Those of you that say deer backstrap is better than steak should go kill yourself. You have clearly never had a good steak if you truly believe that.

I agree BGH. A ribeye or a filet is 100 times better than any backstrap.

I think most folk don’t handle the deer properly after they kill one. This is important. The back strap with Crete cheese and jalepenoes is a favorite at home and camp. Our camp chef makes it then wraps it in conecka bacon and deep fry’s it in peanut oil. But I agree ground venison burgers just ain’t some count. Won’t eat a rutting buck and that’s just about all I shoot

I have had over 150 people tell me that they had rather have my venison sloppy joes than beef sloppy joes.

I hardly ever use ground venison to make burgers with. We typically use it for tacos, spaghetti, sloppy joes, etc. I also have some deer sausage and it's good but definitely not as good as Tennessee Pride

Daggum! Tell us how you really feel!

ill eat it right off the bone raw...id eat it for every meal if my wife would allow

Deer burgers seasoned right and cooked right are hard to beat !!! I'm not saying that venison is better than beef, but it is probably better for you !!!!!

You need to getcha some Jalapeno n Cheddar Burger made, It makes a fine sammich 🤤
