Kevin, never apologize for being a man! When it starts going down, everyone wants a man like you around. Keep taking care of your family. They are way better off because of you. And Mama too! She is an inspiration as well.

I have reached a point in my life where watching a perfect stranger make venison jerky on youtube makes me happy! 🤣

I know you said "as a man" with some hesitancy, but I am a 63 year old woman and have been providing the only red meat (in the form of hunted venison) for my family for 40 years. All does, taken legally, ethically and died instantly. Anywhere between 3>25 per year (25 when hunting on a large managed ranch, when the men were only trophy hunting and no one wanted to take the required number of does). The USA hunter demographic is decreasing, but the female demographic is growing. In order to maintain the appropriate hunter population, I always encourage women who want to get out in nature and have the satisfaction of experiencing an ethical kill, healthy processing, and delicious cooking. My motto is, "In the wild to in the belly".

I grew up eating a lot of wild game from deer to squirrel to rabbit to of course fresh water fish here in michigan. But my 2 uncles had farms and one was a part time butcher so we hardly never went without some type of meat. I haven't had squirrel in a long time so I kinda miss it.

Thanks for recommending Venison for Dinner. My husband is off deer hunting now. Anxious to see the new ideas.

My nephew who is 11 gets to go deer hunting with his dad through a wounded veterans program. And this year he ended up getting four deer while he was there they donated one and now they have three deer in their freezer. It’s such a great way to get meat

KEVIN(!) Thanks for talking about the value of wild harvesting from the wild. When I hunt, I don't think in terms of my gender but I bet the feeling I get is similar to yours. Yes, it's very primal, and as an ethical hunter, I feel in touch with the wilds. I like the feeling of confidence that I can survive and provide. I say a prayer a Native American friend taught me to thank the animal's spirit, and God, for the blessing of the bounty.

Hi Kevin & family, I was raised in Louisiana, I moved to Southern California about 48 years ago for my military service. I brought a piece of meat from a trip home, it was about 18" long X 6" in diameter. I cooked it for my friends on a back yard grill / smoker. I wouldn't tell them what it was, just let them guess. Some said it was like lobster, some said it reminded them of chicken breast. I finally let them know it was alligator tail... they thought it was the best. Kind wishes & blessings.

I just processed 4 deer and they are in the freezer. 2 doe in Muzzleloader and 2 buck in Rifle so far. GA allows for 2 buck and 10 doe during the season.

@@semperfido119 Do they have an overpopulation of deer? It does seem like a lot for a family. But I would understand it if they have too many. We live in TN. We have family in Brunswick. If the state allows it, you should get your limit, if possible. You have been hunting almost as long as me! I've been hunting almost all my life. I'm 70 now. I haven't hunted in a few years. I love venison. Where I live, I've seen people drive around with the hide still on the deer. Ruins the meat. I've always used a deer bag. Gutted, skinned, put the bag on. But that's me. I also like the heart, fried. You have a great Thanksgiving too! GOD bless

Thanks for talking about the value of wild harvesting from the wild. Your so right about the nutritional value of Venison protein.

Congratulations 👏🎉 We have two 8 pt. bucks down here in Kentucky (no trophy's but nice size) We'll be having roast, & jerky also for Thanksgiving along with the turkey. You are absolutely right about the does, but the bucks were the first in our site's. We are done for the year. Leaving the does for reproduction, taking only what our family needs. God bless.

I love the idea of the smoker tube. I've never seen anything like it before. I would use that on my grill, while I smoke meat on the grill. I make BBQ pork chops, and this would be so much easier than soaking wood chips, and putting them right on the hot charcoal. When I do it this way, the wood chips don't last long enough. I already use a chimney starter for lump charcoal, and I absolutely love it. No need to use charcoal lighter fluid. Thanks for sharing this, as always! Always look forward to Wednesday's and Saturday's for your videos!

You can get a smoker box (cast iron) that you put the wet wood chips in and set in your grill.

Absolutely agree with you, sir. Deer hunting is a very satisfying, ethical way to provide meat that just feels right. I'm very thankful for it!

We are definitely meat hunters as well. I took up muzzleloader this year and was blessed with 2 does within 5 minutes of each other. My husband so far has taken 3 does. We process them ourselves and we learned to brine and make pastrami this year. We smoke, freeze, can and freeze dry the venison. Thanks for the heads up on the KZread channel Venison for Dinner.

Got my first buck yesterday! I've only been hunting for 3 years. And it was mostly because I don't like my nearly 80 year old dad out by himself since his older brother can't go with him any longer. I'm loving the daddy daughter time. Wish he had taught me this 50 years ago.

If you have more than 20 ac, you can get free farm tags for deer in Mo. I am the same way I’m in it for the meat, but if a big buck walks by me, that’s just icing on the cake!

In the late 70s we had to use the pilot light on a gas stove one season to turn the deer meat into jerky. It actually came out very good lol

Some of the best meat I have ever put on the grill was marinated Canadian goose breast meat, cut into strips and skewered like an accordion with mushrooms, onions, and cherry tomatoes alternated on the skewer. I use teriyaki sauce, ginger, sesame seed oil and sesame seeds browned/toasted in the sesame oil for the marinade. There is also a hot(spicy)sesame seed oil out there that you may like to try as well. I have not hunted goose in years now, so I really miss making this on the grill.

Kevin and Sarah are so lovely! Just great peeps!!

5 deer in the freezer is not uncommon where I come from in Northern Michigan . Before we retired to Florida my wife and I never bought store bought beef. Anything that can be made with beef can be made with venison.

Luckily my ex son in law always remembers me if he gets lucky cuz he knows I'm here for him and the grandkiddos as much as I'm here for my daughter and the grandkiddos lol (They do a lot of sports and extra curricular stuff and juggling their schedules takes 4 of us some days 🤣 ) To me the venison down here in farmland tastes like what I remember good farm raised beef tasting like. I cleaned our freezer recently to squeeze a few cheap turkeys in and I found several small packs of venison steak thst fell to the bottom. I'm thinking venison stir-fry with the sweet peppers I have from the garden in the freezer too. I'm hoping he gets a deer this year too.

I haven't been able to hunt in over 20 years, single working mother with no local open hunting ground in my area of Missouri. I get deer meat by processing meat that a friend of my sons kill. They kill, gut and quarter, I debone and cut up into their specifications. I get to keep a portion of what I process. This year I got to keep a whole deer. There are always ways to provide for my family.

I really appreciate how you give directions. Always a pleasure for your video’s.

Thank you so much. It looks scrumptious.

I was watching a butcher make jerky and he recommended cutting the meat agains the grain, and the reason made since to me. By cutting against the grain the grain will run horizontally allowing the meat to tear at the teeth rather than wanting to go vertically. I’m going to try it next time I process a deer. This recipe looks good too!

Hi Kevin- well I have used my combination NH hunting /fishing license in the past, but now my brother-in-law does the deer hunting. It has been hit or miss these last few years. If I was starving, I have no problem squirrel hunting or upland bird, but we raise grass fed Hereford. One is headed for our freezers as soon as it is done aging. I do love venison when we have it. I like your marinade. Sounds like a winner for taste and tenderizing! If it was up to me, I would raise meat rabbits again. They can be raised without grain, if the grain supply dries up. Enjoy that beautiful venison! ~ Diane
