I don’t think it has anything to do with preparation after the kill or before cooking. It taste like liver to me and I can’t stand it. If you think about it though you are cooking ground deer well done, no w cook a tenderloin like that and tell me what it taste like?? I do know people that say there is no difference in ground beef or venison but I’m not one of them.

I hardly ever buy ground beef, and I eat ground venison usually once a week fixed in a variety of ways. My venison burgers are way better than any beef burger by far. Never had any that tasted like liver either.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

What meals do you use it in? How do you season it?


Chili, meatloaf, hamburger steak, hamburger helper, soup, hamburgers,
As for seasoning hamburgers and hamburger steaks and meatloaf we use cracker girl or Cajun or some sort

If it taste like liver then you're eating a gut shot deer that's been rode around in the back of pickup half the day

HOW TO MAKE VENISON AND BEEF TASTE THE SAME

Start one year before killing date. Feed the steer only on wild berries, slough grass, weeds, sage, and tree bark. About two hours before you are ready to butcher, let some dogs chase the beef around to get the blood and the adrenaline into the meat. Shoot the beef immediately after it has been chased (make sure it's a gut shot, and try to do this via hind quarter). A good shot will tenderize the meat and get as much hair as possible in the impact area. Be sure to kill the beef in the morning of a hot sunny day, temp needs to be at least 90. Then toss it in the bed of your truck and drive it around until dark showing it off. If you have to park for any length of time be sure and park in direct sunlight. Drag the beef to a slough and field dress it in the slough. Make sure to get as much grass, weeds, cattails and debris in as possible. Drag the beef at least one mile across fields with plenty of beggar lice, broomstraw, fire ant mounds and cockspur to get plenty of dirt and vegetation mixed into the wound and the interior of the carcass. Load the beef on back in the truck and drive down first a gravel road at least 5 miles and then down a highway. This will get as much highway grime, bugs, and rocks embedded in the meat as possible. (For extra flavor this should be done in the rain.) Hang the beef in the garage. (Make sure it is low enough so the dog can chew on the hind quarter and then properly mark it as his territory.) At least once a day have your wife idle a vehicle for 5 minutes in the garage. Carbon Monoxide adds greatly to the flavor. When the carcass smells so bad that you can hardly stand being in the garage, the beef is ready to process. Properly following these steps will ensure that your BEEF is mistaken for VENISON by even the most avid sportsman. Everyone will marvel at how much venison you have and how good it tastes... and you won't have to put on that crazy camo stuff and walk for 5 miles then sit in a tree all day ever again

I may not be the best shot in Alabama but I’m good enough to know when they are gut shot and when they aren’t. I also don’t condone riding a deer around in the back of the truck half of the day showing him off either. People have different taste buds obviously. I have a Hobart grinder and grind deer for friends who say it’s awesome but it’s definitely not for me.

It has to do with the blood. I cut up my deer and let it sit in the fridge covered a week or so, draining the blood out of it every couple days. That's where your get the gamey taste from. Processor may be grinding everyone's meat at the same time or back to back without cleaning grinder.

what most people consider gamey is just because they are used to beef we use deer 99% of the time if the recipe calls for ground meat. ive grown to dislike store bought ground beef and wont buy or eat it. its like asking why a pork chop tastes different than a ribeye.

I absolutely hate liver of any kind and wouldn't eat deer meat if it tasted like liver to me, the only time I've ever eaten deer meat that taste like liver was a piece of cube steak, from buck that had been gut shot.

Lol I’m not trying to make it taste like beef. I’m just trying to make it taste less crappy. Funny post though, too long to read.

All processors are not the same. Some really screw up burger. My son had some done, he had to throw it away. The burger I get done taste good, no gamey flavor. If your wanting it to taste like beef, well that aint gonna happen. Find a good processor or do it yourself.

They had an option to add in fat but I declined.

I can't tell my ground venison from beef. I quarter the deer and brine in beef stock/ice for 4-5 days then ground with beef fat I get from a local butcher shop to make it 80/20(ish). Ground venison I used to get from processors tasted like rutting bucks and I couldn't deal with it anymore so I started doing it myself. Never going back.

If you have to go through all that trouble just to make a deer taste like a cow, then you really don't like the taste of venison lol

I don't mind it, but others in the family do. So if I don't do it, I'd be making meals for 1.

For anybody that don't already know it, rabbit, squirrel, and turkey don't taste like beef either. I personally like it that way.

I don’t know if I’ll go through all that you do; however, I’m in the same boat with the meat tasting like a dang rutting buck. It’s unbearable, the wife won’t touch the stuff, and I don’t blame her.
