[quote=btfl]Tough deer are tough and tender deer are tender. there's a lot of truth to this comment; i will say, on the whole, doe are more tender than buck (unless it's a young buck like Gomer likes to shoot). based on my experiences, an old buck w/big horns looks great on the wall but tastes like chit on the plate. You obviously know nothing about caring for meat or processing
Yeah c’mon. Daniel White

Never understood the "soak in ice and salt for x-days" deal. Cut it up, trim and clean it, eat it or freeze it. THIS^^^^
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I’ve killed a lot of mature bucks that were great eating. I don’t think they’re any different than a doe. Actually, the two most tender deer I’ve ever eaten weighed 240 and 215. They were fine. interesting; by "mature", what do you mean - age-wise? my comments were more along what i said -- OLD buck (ie 7+ years old) ... The two I’m referring to were 4 and 5 years old.

There is a guy on Pensacola Fishing Forum who said you can shoot your deer and bring it to him and he will clean it and age in walk in cooler for 2 weeks for $50. Problem is he is located in Gulf Breeze.
Is it Hunting Season Yet?

Never understood the "soak in ice and salt for x-days" deal. Cut it up, trim and clean it, eat it or freeze it. Me neither. I only ice down to buy time if I have a delay going to processor or am processing myself and cool the carcass. If I'm able to get right to processor I just go. I have a friend that likes to do the ice water and salt deal for 3 days. He lets the meat soak and drains in morning. Uses a whole container of salt each of 3 days. I never understood that because a processor told me water is your enemy. You want to cool the carcass but the water creates nasty brown gray meat. This processor told me to keep meat on ice with drain open or drain every morning and evening. He was against soaking in salt and water and ice. He advised to Ice and drain every morning and evening to keep meat out of water. As far as meat tenderness, If a deer is not ancient I want steaks cut from it. If it's very old, I only butterfly the tenderloins and backstraps. Everything else is for burger and sausage. I just got a FL deer that was collecting social security. He only had 4 lower front teeth he was so old. Had the processor do bacon burger, jalapeño and cheese, and cheese and garlic sausage with hams, shoulder, neck, ribs etc. I only asked to butterfly the tenderloins and backstraps. I hate tough steak from an old deer.

The only 'whang' that I've ever tasted in venison is when stomach contents come in contact with the meat. That stuff can't be removed other than by cutting/trimming the affected meat. The whole aging thing is a waste of time to me and I've been eating venison pretty regularly since the late 70s.

Run him with 4 or 5 different packs of walkers, gut shoot with 5 rounds of 00 buck, throw on the dog box and ride it around till late afternoon and won't nothing eat it. See buzzards following that truck in my mind! I talked to the local processor one time and he said people brought deer in like that all the time. They would tell them they shouldn't eat it, but the guy would still insist they process it. Then they wonder why the deer taste like sht!

luckily I hav access to a walk-in cooler, if not I like to leave mine in a cooler with ice and drain the water daily for 3-4 days.

Dry aging is the best way. Anywhere from two weeks to a month. Trim off the mold and eat it rare.
You ever heard of a high end steak house offering a ribeye soaked in a cooler of ice water for a week? Hell no. They dry age it for a month. The entire "put it in a cooler with ice and salt for a week" thing just completely baffles me. But, to each his own.

“How to ruin a piece of venison “
Soak in ice water for a week. Marinate in Italian dressing. Stuff with cream cheese and jalapeños. Wrap in bacon. Grill to medium.
Now you’ve got a tasteless piece of vension that has a strong flavor of Italian dressing, cream cheese, jalapeño, and bacon...
