Angela,
Your dad is right. Also the time of death and butchering have a lot to do with it. The sooner you get it butchered the milder the taste. My dad killed a young buck near sunset, we waited till the next day to take it to the butcher, the game taste was more than we could handle (even with soaking). We ended up making summer sausage with it (50% pork 50% soaked deer, spices and beer)

Hello Carolyn (great name btw, it's my moms name! ) We eat a lot of deer and I HONESTLY think it's the way the meat is butchered is how it will taste. (or at least thats what my daddy has always said lol)

I agree with Scott. I have not prepared deer meat , but I did have alot of elk meat at one time. The brining or soaking in salt water takes away the gamey taste and cleanses some of the blood off the meat-the elk was really bloody.
I tried a bunch of different things with it, we grilled the elk steaks. What I liked the best was the meatloaf , using the ground elk meat.
Oh , and welcome to the table, Carolyn!

> Hello....I'm Carolyn from Louisiana and I was wondering if anyone has a good recipe for deer meat that helps to take away the "wild" taste. I was hoping to find one where the deer meat is cooked in my crock pot. Any advise would very much be appreciated. Thanks...God Bless

Welcome to the table Carolyn...I do not fix ''wild game'' a lot (rarely ever)...my Hubby is not a hunter.
Mostly I've fixed deer meat ground and make chili out of it.
My Mom-in-Law used to cook deer meat a lot....she said always use fruits in it (or in with it) while cooking to take away the wild game taste.
Hopefully some of our other wonderful cooks will pull a chair up to the table and have more info than I can give you.
