Game Recipes

Got Venison? Got a little free time? How about experimenting with do-it-yourself venison jerky? If you're like me, the start of a new year usually means a freezer full of deer meat and some free time, a perfect combination for creating deer jerky for my friends and family. It's easy and only takes a few hours.

Writer Steve Bodio once had this to say about the big gamebirds so many love to hunt every spring: "How about real turkey, the wild kind? It actually tastes like bird, not cardboard, and has juice that doesn't come from chemical butter. Eat one, and you'll never go back." 

Never throw away the neck when processing your deer meat! This is one of my favorite cuts of venison, and a perfect camp meal when having access to power for your crock pot. I have cooked this same meal using a cooking bag when an oven was the only means available.
