Wild game meat from region to region...
Just reverse seared some fat whitetail backstrap steak off the ~300lb old ass buck I shot. Rut has not even thought about starting, so that makes a difference. The deer died instantly...and that makes a difference. That said, I’ve eaten a lot of 100lb whitetail does that died instantly, and they have never ever come close to the tenderness and flavor of this big ole buck. There is a ton to be said about eating an animal that does not feed on acorns. This old, grass-fed buck’s backstrap steaks just jumped over mule deer and pronghorn (which jumped ahead of Crane according to my pickiest eater). My wife and I still think Crane is at the top of the list. Just a PSA to encourage more people to head to oak-less areas to kill deer and start planning Crane hunting trips along with your duck trips.
“I can’t wait ‘till I’m grown” is the stupidest @!#* I ever said!
