How much vension do you eat?

[300wmxcr2]

Just making a pot of moose spaghetti sauce for supper, had some barbecued moose tenderloin on Monday for supper. I cooked a moose roast at camp the other weekend when me ,a buddy his son were up fishing for the weekend. We eat wild meat deer, moose, goose, grouse etc about once a week.
How often/much of what you shoot do you eat?

I try for at least once a week. If it were up to me, I'd replace beef completely with venison.

I'd eat it all the time if I could get enough game... Draws are hard to come by after the Province of BC sold out to the Wilderness Guide Lobby

I shoot one a year for my personal needs.Some summer sausage, choice cuts,all steaks and chops for the "Q". Will eat more in the summer rare on the barbecue Montreal Steak Spice.

We have four licence holders in our home and generally we all fill our tags plus in many years we get additional seals. This allows us to generally eat venison 2 or 3 times a week year round. We also make a whack of venison pepperettes every year that get munched on year round. We also supplement with bear and more rarely moose (hard to get moose tags in Ontario - and if you do the split is usually among 8+ hunters so not that much meat when all is said and done). The only red meat we buy is baby back pork ribs for the bbq.

Small game wise we also eat hare and grouse probably 15 to 20 times a year.

I've never heard of this. Tell me more please? What is the guide lobby and what did they do?

We eat it 2-3 times a week, my kids actually prefer it to beef. It's the best stuff for you.. free range, organic, grass fed.

About two medium sized bucks a year, plus half a moose, 30-40 grouse, four or five dozen ducks and geese and four turkeys... that is 7 - 10 meals per week, plus pepperette's, jerky and lots of breakfast sausage.

 

[300Spartans]

When it shows up, it's on the table. Otherwise, I eat the meat that I can afford.

I had to give up red meat entirely so all my wild game gets donated to the local fish and game club now for their annual wildlife banquet awards night. This year they had 487 attendees. It takes alot more game than I had to feed that crowd, lol.

Scroll down until you see Bullwinkle...

The Province increased the share of hunts for non-resident hunters employing Guides. It was already hard enough getting draws as we have had an overall increase in the number of resident hunters (which is a good thing!!).

 

[FLHTCUI]

Not enough and not for the lack of trying either.

Had a pretty successful hunting season, haven't had to buy any meat from the store this year yet. Eating game meat four to seven days a week

Basically the bc liberals suck fat moose balls, and if they had their way the only people allowed to hunt would be rich foreigners who can fork out $20 000 to go moose hunting...

Im pretty new to hunting, so i don't get to eat as much as some. I think im up to 5 deer suppers so far this year, and I've still got a roast in the freezer. Not bad for not getting my own deer this year.

 

[Superbrad]

Between what I harvest personally in venison and what I get from the guys at camp that dont eat it, I do quite well...... usually about 200 pounds of venison added to the freezer each year.......

Add 1 bear, 4 turkeys, 20-60 grouse, 20-60 geese and ducks and some of my newer adventures (3 wild boar this year), and I would wager I eat venison once a week, sometimes twice and wild game in general about 3 times a week......

In fact, my Patriots are playing the Super Bowl on Sunday and my two boys' meal requests were my venison chili con carne and some "grouse fingers" (as opppsed to chicken fingers)....

 

[hogiron]

grew up on venison and moose, pheasants, ducks, rabbits, never had beef till we moved to Alberta.
Except for the odd bag of deer jerky, it's beef only for us.

 

[VanIsleCam]

Good year (two plus island size bucks) we replace our ground beef with venison totally. Still buy the odd pack of steaks though - hard to beat a good beef steak. We are down to about 20 ish 1.5 lb packs of venison at the moment so will have to go to a local farm and get some ground eventually.

 

[PatchRat]

We never buy red meat. I never thought about it until the other day when we were eating some beef the was leftover from a party at the in-laws. My three year old daughter asked what it was. I told her "cow" and she got the strangest look on her face. She then asked me "why would you shoot a cow!?!?" It made me so happy that she just assumed all the meat that we eat had been shot by her daddy.

When we had a house full of kids it was venison about once a week. They've been gone now for a lot of years....I still make the meal but it lasts about 3 nights now. I don't mix any other meat with the ground venison and don't make any sausage. I can't remember the last time we bought beef. We used to get quite a few grouse and cottontails but not many now with all the coyotes....

 

[sahara]

We never buy red meat, ever. For the last 20+ years we've eaten game exclusively. Depending on what I and my daughter shoot we eat buffalo, musk ox, moose, deer, caribou or grouse every day. We may also eat fish that we catch. The only meat we buy is chicken, and even then I trade game for them, sometimes. Those freakin' liberals that believe only aboriginals eat game really p!ss me off. My family is aboriginal. Russian and Irish aboriginal.
