For those of you continuing the hunting expedition this weekend, foodie file offers a nice newby-deer-hunter piece by Philip Dorwart. Is it true that “there is relatively little meat that you can just grill or sauté and serve from these animals”? Forty pounds of jerky and no steak? Hardy seems worth it.
For those of you animal-loving types who cringe at the thought of killing and eating poor Bambi, well, first of all, why are you even reading this post? But, assuming you are not just feeding your latent sadistic tendencies, here’s a kinder (albeit sassy) Lazy Lightning post about the current organic pet food craze.

If your getting 40 lbs of jerky, your doing it wrong. Best bet is to take your wild game to a butcher.

Christ, that’s what I get for commenting at 7:30…
Also, you’d be amazed at what you can do with came simply by braising it (either in the pan or the oven). That’s what I usually do with pork, since every pork chop I try and cook comes out with a consistency between shoe leather and sawdust. Also, try tenderizing with an acidic marinade before grilling.
