I Ate This Animal

If you know anything about Wyoming, which I didn't before I lived here, it is that this is HUNT'N TERRITORY! This weekend opens the fall hunting season! I work with a gal whose husband partakes of this Wyoming tradition every year and in preparation for this year's kill I was given some meat. Most of it is elk burger, but I did get some elk and deer steaks as well. Since I am not too picky about what I eat, I was excited for this free food. Elk burger was the first thing I tried. So...ya, it reeks bad, but it cooks up good and is similar to beef when seasoned. This last week I tried the deer steak. It was tender, rich, and pretty good. All in all, I prefer cow, but elk and deer are not bad. Time to get out my neon orange hat:) Just kidding, I don't own one:)
