Slightly off topic but someone mentioned the taste difference from deer shot in front of dogs or otherwise stressed. I've shot several deer that were on a full run, being spooked by whatever. Quite a few bucks, because of the season, really stank of old urine. Anyway, I've yet to taste a difference in the meat. Has anyone really tasted a difference? I've had does and bucks from the same year and never noticed that any had a bad taste.
Second, I like to change the recipe for venison though I prefer a slightly hot seasoning like Cayenne pepper. Just what is it that people have against Ketchup? If it was only sold in a fancy French/German/Indian/ or other gourmet restaurant, it would cost $100 a bottle. Why is it that any recipe using Garlic (way over done) is looked upon with favour but the best sauce ever developed by mankind (Ketchup) is somehow looked down upon. (Sorry, just my sounding off, had to get it off my chest). Hope everyone has a great venison meal this Christmas.)
