Shot a doe opening week. Perfect double lung hit. Dressed her immediately and got her to the butcher's quick. Tried to do 4lbs of jerky last week, and as I cut the sinew and fat away the meat smelled extremely gamey. Thought however after marinating and drying it would go away.
I ended up throwing away all 4lbs it came out tasting so off. Couple of friends felt the same way after they tried it. I wasn't bad meat just gamey.
Then I tried to do a stuffed backstrap and it came out the same way. I had to chuck that out too.
What's the best way to remove it? Soak it in milk? I've heard wine works too.
I'll be honest and say I've never been a big venison eater. I'm a trophy hunter thru and thru and give it away every year. But I wanted to try cooking more and different recipes so any help is appreciated
