Aged venison

[skydiver386]

This is a really good video by the Bearded Butcher. They dry age a whitetail doe and test the results. Last year I had several Ohio deer aged 2 weeks and the difference in taste is dramatic.

Haven't tried their suggestions for making bacon, but if it looks half as good as the video, I need to get on it.

Thanks for that link..

I typically wet age venison about a week before I final process, package, and freeze.. I can definitely taste a difference..

I may try dry aging next… it should be a good season this year.. I anticipate having an abundance of venison in the freezer within the next 8-10 weeks
