Wife doesn't like the taste unless it is marinated.

Some use vinegar, buttermilk, milk, water, etc......

What do y'all use and how long do you let it marinate.

Nothing, venison flavor is what sets it apart from beef otherwise I would just go to the grocery store and buy ground meat.

I like the taste, wife doesn't but she hates processed foods and gmo's so she eats it's anyway. She won't eat backstrP which is fine, more for me! She's developing a taste for it now. It also depends on how I cook it. Sausage on the other hand she loves even if she doesn't know where the pork filler comes from.

Shoot small deer under 50 lbs.
On the other hand, which bucks go into the rut, there meat turns dark red and very wild taste. Same deer took before the rut, the meat is not that dark.

Oh, by aging the meat, that helps break it down and helps with the wild taste too.

Age it for a couple of weeks before processing.

I go for does.

Quarter carcass and pack in an ice chest filled with ice. Every couple days, drain water and pack with new ice. I do this for about a week.

Could probably do it longer, but I get tired of doing so and get to processing.

Wife really likes the milder taste like this.

Yep. Our processor lets it hang a good while before butchering. Never had a problem with a strong wild taste. I like a little bit of wild anyway. If you season it for spaghetti sauce, chili, Mexican, etc, you can't taste much of the wild. If I am doing a backstrap, neck roast, etc, I want some.

I don't use anything.. My wife loves the taste.. Try eating more fruits, grain etc. Cut out any coffee, alcohol greasy foods, as that makes it bitter....










Wait, sorry.. I didn't read the thread title.

Sounds like you need to eliminate that yuppy woman of yours

Keep it all in a cooler of ice water for up to two weeks.

Change out the water every couple of days.

I usually break down the hind quarters before putting them in the cooler. It tends to work better that way.

Wrap in Bacon and leave rare medium rare. Over cooking is when the strong game flavor comes in.
