I don't eat it to save money, no telling what that meat costs. I eat it because I prefer it to beef.

10-4 and x2

Yea the cost of deer meat can cause confusion in relationships lol

When I'm able to fill the freezer we use it for everything instead of beef. I prefer it over beef but a good ribeye is hard to beat

I definitely don't eat it to save money lol

Last year I was able to hunt a couple of places where they asked me to shoot does. So we put 5 in the freezer and ran out of everything but ground venison in September. If we have it we would eat it 3-5 times per week. Family of 4 with an 8 year old who doesn't like ground beef (grew up eating ground venison) and a 4 year old who will eat almost anything at least once lol.

I have 2 in the freezer this year and we will be out of the good cuts by late spring. It doesn't help that my wife and I eat lots of protein and very little carbs. We eat LOTS of meat.

I eat it because I like to kill deer and I eat what I kill. I do not prefer it to beef. I do replace beef with deer meat in most of the recipes i cook not for flavor but beacuse we have it in the freezer. I don't prefer turkey to store bought either but i like to turkey hunt, so I eat wild turkey.

Depends on the size freezer

I try to fill the freezer because I enjoy the taste of venison, it’s healthier than beef, and there is a satisfaction with knowing that the food I’m eating came from my own hands. In my opinion, there are far too many people on this earth who eat meat but have never experienced taking the animal’s life that it came from. I think anyone who eats meat should have that experience at least once in their lifetime.

Venison (which I had just finished for supper), wild hog and fish from local ponds, sloughs and rivers make up a majority of our meat.
And, I really enjoy it!!!

Like Troy said.....it dang sure ain’t because of the price!!

Another ‘shocker’ to the snowflakes.....you can grow vegetable in your own garden too!!!!

It ain’t chicken McNuggets.....but, it will keep you alive!

Tacos, Nachos, Spaghetti, Chili, Hamburger helper, Meatloaf, Country fried steak, Grilled Backstrap are just a few of the reasons why we keep a nice freezer full!

This is me in a nutshell!

We eat mostly deer and we buy some beef and pork from a local butcher the beef is usually steaks or trimmings/stew meat and the pork we get is whole pork looks, pork chops bacon, and bacon trimmings. When I raised courtnix quail and Bob white quail we eat that instead of buying chicken. Store bought chicken is so flavorless to me. Every now and then I can stock up on crappie. I'll fill a freezer if given the opportunity

I'd rather eat it than beef. Like everyone has mentioned you can make anything with it and since I killed it I know exactly whats been put into it. We do not have wild hog here or I would shoot them too. I'll agree the only thing it can't replace is a ribeye....ribeyes are good.

3 deer a year gets me my burger /link sausage and cube meat and neck roasts. It’s just my wife and I and we are usually out by the next season. 1 wild hog for patty sausage and a couple turkeys for frying breaths and use the legs and wings for stew meat. We eat a lot of turkey burger and mainly cook the deer burger for hamburgers. I’m allergic to fish but a dozen speckled trout and 3-4 reds a year gets my wife her seafood fix and twice a year I’ll go gig a mess of blue crabs which I can eat. That fills my freezer up. And it all gets eaten. I don’t eat limb rat, coons, or any dove or duck so I don’t kill them.

I’m fortunate enough to be able to afford eating just about whatever I want to but I choose to eat venison for lunch several times a week. That’s a lot of venison

I like the taste and it’s good healthy meat

Estimating we are 50-60 lbs though our freezer of elk, deer, ducks and wild turkey.

We've probably got another 175 lbs of meat to last us until season opens again. Might get an off shore fishing trip in at some point, so maybe we'll put a little fish in there too.

Not trying to save money and we certainly don't. There's nothing as fine as appropriately processed game meat prepared well. That cost can't be calculated.

Never about saving money. My kids have been raised on clean, organic protein. Theyll eat a beef hamburger at a restaurant but they don't mind a bloody, gamey flavored roast cooked to medium rare.

I don't eat it much cause I have to fix it myself everytime. I do know two families next to a place I use to hunt that couldn't get enough. One family was giving it away to their employees. Another country family that hunted out their back door shot 10 one year and said that was not enough they could eat them all. Of course it made hunting near them tough to say the least. I am sure if you had someone that cooked really well you would like it even more, but you would eventually want to mix it up. One a year is usually enough for me and some years none is ok too.

We don’t eat beef unless we go out to eat. If we eat red meat it’s venison. I have a family of 5 and me filling my freezer with enough meat to feed them for several months is what we choose to do.

I like at least 2. 3 is better. 4 is just right. Beef is so expensive and venison is much healthier
