I grew up in NE Iowa where deer season wasn't only sport, but a way to keep the deer numbers down to help the problem with the deer destroying the crops. It was deer season and car season, as if you hadn't hit a deer driving at dawn or dusk by the time you were 21, well, you just weren't out driving enough. All the same, I could never get past Bambi. Venison on our table always meant I had a free hand with the peanut butter and my choice of breads. I still can't bear the thought of eating deer. You are a braver gal than am I.

I've been making turkey lasagna for a while and I'm always up for changing meats. I think variety is the spice of life, but I've never imagined with venison! YUM! -Sylvia Seiko Space Walk Watches

I tried venison for the first time last year, and absolutely fell in love with the taste – I usually make vegetable lasagne as my mother's a vegetarian, but I'll b sure to try this recipe out as soon as I have my own cooking space! Sounds truly delicious though…

If you get a free moment, please do take a look at my cookery blog and let me know what you think: http://shortcakeandsnap.wordpress.com – I'm only really starting out, but I've admired your recipes for a little while and would love to hear your comments. Thank you!

Really fantastic recipe! We have a bunch of antelope burger that has been blended with sausage. This could be just the recipe to give it a try. We're experimenting with venison thanks to a generous "care package" from the folks in Idaho – deer, antelope, elk and pheasant!

Cheers,

I've never cooked venison. Lots of people I know hunt and have brought me stuff they've made but I've never cooked it myself.

We also have wild meat in the freezer most of the time. Elk is the best, with not much gamey flavour, moose can also be okay, but definitely a stronger flavour, and deer I have refused to eat because of it’s stronger flavour. And yes, the wild game does have a different texture. We always remove any fat, and have found that cutting the meat off the bone, instead of through the bone, with the meat saw, helps to lessen the gaminess but I’m curious as to the brining you mentioned.

Hubs also hunts. We have venison in the freezer most of the time. We use it mixed with hamburger sometimes for hamburgers, meatloaf, speghetti. Great stuff.

Love the lasagna. Have to try it with venison.
