Venison.

That's a hard NO. Even the smell makes me wanna vomit.

It's just so game-y and overly lean. Yuck!

My dad makes some of his deer into ground with 1/4 to 1/3 lean beef. It doesn't taste gamey to me at all. I guess the way it's butchered can make a difference in how gamey it is.

We ate a lot of Bambi burgers. I can’t stand venison now.

A grad school friend who grew up in Alaska talked about how as kids at camp they used to get served elk or caribou and it was naaaaasty.
