Also when I have a tough old Buck I like to make my favorite 4 hr venison stew in my slow cooker or  a big 8-10 qt pot  . It makes even the toughest venison as tender as can be & can be made several ways with several ingredients. It can serve as many as you'd like also, by double sizing  the amounts given in the above recipes & may later be frozen in quart containers to be eaten at a later date!! I do alot of this when making stews & My Chili's!!! & folks nothing taste better at deer camp! Either for  lunch or at the end of a hard day's hunt than a great bowl of venison chili, stew on a blistering cold day of hunting. As well as a good supply of venison Jerky to snack on while out hunting!!! I have come across a ton of what seem to be great venison recipes , In various other hunting sites I've visited & There are alot of awseome sites out there, that offer all kinds of links to recipes . So hope you try some of these I use, And be sure & check out the many awesome sites out there that have everything you could possibly need or want in regards to hunting including , but not limited to great reading , tips, etc. etc.!!! I have listed & Linked to a few of them so far that are just wonderfully done Congratulations to all sites I've linked with & visited & continued success to all .

            Until Next Time May You Have A Great Safe hunt!!!

                   And Enjoy Our Great Outdoors With Your 

                            Friends And family!!!!
