Christmas venison
Only a raw feeder would be excited about roadkill for Christmas...
A couple days, ago, I got a text from my sister's boyfriend, who had access to a deer that had just been hit by a car. An hour and a half later, he arrived at my house with four huge deer legs and a heart for Mona! I have no idea how much the legs weigh, but I'm guessing they must be at least 8 or 10 pounds each. And the heart was probably a couple pounds too. All in all, a LOT of food. Wahoo!
Then, for Christmas yesterday, my sister's boyfriend showed up with even MORE venison for me! There are at least a dozen (probably more like two dozen) packages of deer steaks and several ziploc bags of deer burger. And... a WHOLE squirrel! I haven't sorted through everything yet, but with all the deer I've gotten this week, Mona has at least two months worth of food. Needless to say, I'm THRILLED!
I took out a package of doe steak, maybe 6 ounces, and decided Christmas day would be the perfect time to introduce deer to Mona. She loved it! She didn't eat as much of it as I would have expected, but I think that is only because we were at my parents' house, and Mona was preoccupied with trying to play with their yorkie. However, it looks like venison will be a hit!
(Side note: Venison is unlike any other meat I've dealt with. Not only does it have a completely different smell--a much stronger smell than the chicken, pork, or beef I'm used to--but it was much bloodier too. I'm not sure if this is due to the way it was processed/packaged, or if this is typical of venison in general... Has anyone else noticed this?)
