I've had bad ground venison before but I think it was the fat they added to it.

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.


Well hell my wife don't eat it period, but i don't care 😁

We do ground venison in Tacos, Chili, Spaghetti, hamburger helper, and basically any other dish that calls for "ground beef". I would challenge anyone to eat one of the meals above and know that it wasn't ground beef.

Now, if you brown it up and take a bite just plain, with no seasonings, yeah you can tell it's not beef. It's good, just different.

We use Meat Locker in Fosters. While I've not used a ton of processors (probably 5 or 6), they are far and away the best one I've used.

My deer was neck shot and washed out with a hose/nozzle at camp before going to that processor. They sold me somebody else’s deer. Never been back.


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.

Most processors mix the grind from several deer, so you are probably eating someone else's deer.

If it smells gamey , the meat is probably bad. Deer meat has a different taste but it's not bad. Sounds like you got a ruined batch of meat..

if it didn't smell gamey or rank (rutting buck) when you took it, you got somebody else's deer...even if you took it whole and let them skin it out, you'd know if it was rank (if it was a buck) or not when you dropped it off. does don't get the rank, rut smell, they just get gamey if it wasn't a clean, drt kill and you pushed her a time or two before she expired.

Cook it longer and use more salt. Big taste difference from beef.


It be's that way sometimes.

So I don’t know if they gave me someone else’s meat or what but the ground I cooked today tasted fine. Of course it tastes like venison, but not that gamey musty taste.
