One really easy and really delicious way to cook venison is to get a crock pot and make the beef stew recipe that comes with the crock pot recipe booklet, substituting venison for beef.

Absolutely marvelous. Plus, if you have family members who are wary of eating venison, this will be an easy sell.

Listen to this advise I love it with thick brown gravey cut up taters and carrots its great. If your cutting up your own deer you can get lot scrap cuts and put them in bags for stew meat

I have a cook book I'll be pulling out soon to see what ingredients I need to get.
Thanks for the advice.

Gunny,
None of us can eat antlers. We can't hardly tell one deer from another, next to the mashed potatoes and gravy.
For backstraps on the grill, try this:
Get McCormick's Chipotle pepper marinade. Marinate meat overnight. Grill meat... do not overcook, venison should be at least light pink in the center. Enjoy!
Very tasty marinade, easy to make and great with the deer steaks!

Congrats on the deer!

Shoot all you want(6)...... but eat all you shoot!! I only put up a couple per year(kids are grown and gone ...wife won’t touch it). I get country sausage, Italian sausage, burger, and cube steak

Put the cube steak in hot skillet for about 40 seconds on each side.... then put it in crock pot with just Store bought beef gravy.... cut up a couple onions in there..... let it sit on low for about 4-6 hours..... mashed taters or rice and it’s game on!!

So, with everyone telling me to go hunt on base, I took their advice and started scouting the areas on Lejeune and MCAS New River. Deer are everywhere, but as we all know, you have to be there when they are. Last weekend my normal area was closed, so I hunted at a new area, but from the ground. I scared off 5 deer because I didn't know the area, but I figured with so many there, I can put my stand up and come out before the sun comes up and maybe have some luck. Yesterday I was in my stand for the coldest hunt of this year and was unsuccessful. I didn't even hear a deer while I was out there. This morning, I headed back to the stand, but a tad bit earlier and luckily it was a little bit warmer than yesterday. At 7:40, I started hearing some noises and out jumps a doe and a smaller deer right behind her. I got off a clean shot with my shotgun and she fell where I took the shot. The other deer took off, as I expected, but about 8 minutes later, it came back. I figured it was another doe, so I took the shot when it came close enough to me, but after waiting about a half an hour for them to expire, I came up on the second one and realized I shot a button buck. :oops: I wasn't going to reveal that, but I figured...why not? I'm still learning and am no where near the place where I would have let those two walk, since this is my first season and they were my first legitimate shots.
I won't be shooting any more button bucks, as I'll take a closer look with my binoculars.
Only the doe is in the photos.
Congratulations!!! Thats awesome
