Lot's of fun! Done at night, with a spot light and a frog gig, or spear."And frog legs"!
I'm struggling to imagine someone stalking a frog
Regards,
Jay.
Blackened frog legs are scrumptious!

Yes, if you trim all the venison fat out (as you have to to avoid the gamey flavor), a common way for home processors to introduce fat back in is by feeding some fatty bacon into the grinder alongside the venison as you make the ground meat. But yeah, then you have to wonder how much of the tastiness is just the pork fat we all love so much...
Added suet certainly makes a difference for the better.
One thing that seems to help out deer meat is to bushwhack the deer from a stand instead of alarming it, and causing adrenaline to taint the meat.
But nothing I know is more thrilling than assembling a bunch of riders on horseback during muzzleloader season and having a deer drive. It’s hard to get up a proper deer drive these days, when the game wardens opened up muzzleloading season to modern handguns. My friends now all want to pistol shoot deer from stands.
Sitting up high in tree, a fellow feels like an assassin. You might fall off, it’s cold up there, and it’s hard to manage coffee and pipe materials, and listen to music.
I sit on a big rock in Spout Spring Hollow and if a deer ambles by I might shoot him.
Most of them are too small.
But the music is good, the pipes taste good, I never run out of coffee, and when I want to I can mount my Yamaha and go see how the others are doing.
Mostly, I like the idea of deer hunting.
It’s an excuse to sit in the woods and pretend to hunt deer.
The deer I hunt, must at least tolerate Harlan Howard type county music.

Grew up tromping through and driving airboats in the everglades hunting gator, deer, hogs and gigging frogs and trotlining for soft shell turtles for turtle stew. If it creeps around on the ground, flies through the air or swims in the water it got eaten! Down hear we like to do frog legs, gator tail and catfish fried in cornmeal with a bowl of swamp cabbage or turtle stew!
I love venison. Its a staple in our household because it's healthy and I can hunt all I want on our farm. Whatever overflow we have from the freezer gets given to friends and family, never any waste. Venison is fantastic.
While the season has been open for a few weeks already, I prefer to wait till after Thanksgiving to harvest my deer. That is when rut starts down here.
And …. lol, someone brought me some deer sausage today! Saving it for the weekend.
soak the deer steaks in milk... serve with brown gravy.... grew up on that.
Oh yeah I certainly do. However it's like a lot of other foods you have to know what to do with it how to cook it what it can and can't pull off. Though my two favorite game meats are boar and then the best is caribou. Oh gosh caribou is freaking amazing.
Oh man you're missing out. I mean most of it's terrible but there are a few guys around here that make an incredible venison sausage. Like people that hate venison will eat an insane amount of this stuff.
Ummmm, I'm not missing out, as I said, "that I have never had a venison sausage that I enjoyed."
I am aware that other people like it, but to me the flavor of venison does not pair well for my palate with the herbs used in sausages, especially sage. Plus, it usually ends up very dry and tough. I am just picky about sausages. There aren't very many pork sausages that I enjoy either.
But, if you like them, that's great.
Most of it is terrible. Most of it makes me feel like an animal died for this(?) and also how can you ruin good food like this?
Yeah that's the trick. The guys who make the good stuff are super secret about what they use, but it's not the normal sausage spices except the pepper corns.
That's the other things while it's dry it kind of crumbles in a way that's hard to explain and not tough. Again they act really secretive about the whole process.
Same here.
I still feel like you're missing out. (I am the kind of guy who loves finding the thing someone loves or really enjoys in a category or genre they don't like. I like when I can help people say something like, I don't like Country music but man Dilert Casbans is amazing [made that guy up by the way]).
my deer hunting buddy always gives me loads of deer meat. I had some deer hamburger mixed with rice and onion for breakfast this morning
