What temp does deer meat spoil?

The proper aging temperature range is between 32° F and 36° F; never higher than 40° F. Deer should not be aged any longer than 2 weeks. Hold the carcass at 40° F or less, but avoid freezing the carcass before rigor to avoid toughening the meat.

Is venison healthy to eat?

Venison is a brilliant source of haem iron, a type of iron which is generally absorbed very efficiently by our bodies. Plant-based sources contain a type of iron called non-haem iron, which is generally absorbed at a lower rate than haem iron.

Can you mix deer meat with beef?

Because venison is so lean, there's not a lot of fat to hold the burger patties together when cooked. Mixing it with ground beef adds fat which prevents it from falling apart on the grill or in the pan. Venison has a strong "earthy" flavor.

What does ground deer meat taste like?

When people describe venison taste and texture, they often use words like rich or earthy; this is a festive-tasting meat, often imbued with hints of the acorns, sage and herbs that the deer enjoyed during its life. It's also considered to be less juicy and succulent than beef, but also smoother and firmer.

Can you make deer meat taste like beef?

Yes. IMO, if the deer wasn't ancient, dropped when shot, and was processed correctly many cannot taste any gamey flavor if cooked and prepared correctly (according to the cut). There are a few tricks however, like using the ground venison the same as you would beef in spaghetti sauce, chili and meatballs.
