we eat venison almost exclusively. I will buy a steak bout once a month, porkchops every 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.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

We eat deer meat for about 80% of our meat. We do buy pork but also use wild pig if we have some and buy steaks and occasionally a pack of burger for certain things. I hunt to kill stuff even though I love watching them more then shooting now but my son and wife still love to kill them. I guess you get tired of beef, pork and chicken? We get ours made into burger, roast, cube, stew, and stir fry. How is that different then buying those things in beef except we kill it and you go to the grocery store and buy it.

People do things differently. Fred and Turkey have given good, clear, solid reasons - the majority of their meat is venison, so they stock up.
Our doe limits, for now, are good for this. And if you need more, get a Georgia license and start ticking off their 11-per-season or go to Tennessee where the west half of the state is 3-does-per-day and stock up.
If we ate more venison I'd be hunting in Tennessee. They can't get enough of 'em kilt up there.

I try to put 5-6 deer in the freezer every year and that about fills it up. Thats pretty much our family too. We buy the occasional steak here and there, but everything we make at home that has meat in it is deer meat. Usually takes us about 4-5 deer to make it through the year. With the kids getting older and eating more that number will probably start going up though.

Im probably gonna get bashed for this post. But I really just don't get it. I like venison just as much as the next man. However, it's definitely not something I would eat EVERYDAY. No way in hell I would fill an entire freezer with it. I'd get burned out so easily. I'm fresh out of college. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is to have some extra meat in the back of the freezer when funds get low. But an entire freezer ??? I know it's just my opinion. But I'd really like to hear an explanation from someone who makes this one of thier hunting goals. Well, I'll be the first one to agree with you.

Ribeyes. The only thing that venison cannot replace the taste of.

I try to eat venison 1-2 times a week and to that end usually try to kill 2-3 deer a year. That's split between FL and AL. Venison is tasty in its different forms like burger, backstraps, and sausage and good for you.

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.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

I understand if that's a bulk of your meat. All I'm getting at is that why limit your self ? If venison is your #1 meat cool. What about the other choices to keep variety in your diet beef (venison), pork ( wild hogs) chicken/turkey (wild turkey, quail, grouse) if you know what I mean. But I'm stressing it's only a question.

I try to put 5-6 deer in the freezer every year and that about fills it up. Us too... I've about gotten to where I even prefer it over store bought steaks. To me, deer meat just has more flavor (if it's well taken care of after the kill). And if you think you'd get burned out on it, then you just don't know enough ways to cook it.

The only time I eat beef is at a restaurant. I will buy some pork but only because we (luckily) dont have a lot of hogs. I buy some of chicken and my wife's preferred fish is salmon. I used to put up 6-7 deer a year, but now that the kids have moved out we get buy with about 3.
I dont really like all the crap they feed to animals before they slaughter them. Antibiotics and stuff...
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

But I'm stressing it's only a question. Have you ever cleaned a "wild turkey"???? It's not like a Butterball from the store. Not many wild quail or grouse running around these days either. Venison is basically fat free protein. While wild hogs are a nuisance throughout the state, there are many areas that have no hogs, but have a healthy population of deer.

To answer your question there are plenty of people out there who eat it to save money. They deer hunt while you and I are at work.
Which is circular. That's why they have to save money.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
