Looking for the best venison recipe? I’ve used a number of venison recipes over the years. Cooking the backstraps and the ground venison is easy, but sometimes the shoulders and hams create more of a challenge. Of course, the large cuts are great on the smoker, but what about cooking them indoors, in the oven? Try this venison recipe for deer hams!

moose recipe

My aunt shared this recipe with me. She and my uncle lived in Alaska for several years while he was in the Air Force. Being born and reared in the South, they got to experiment with a lot of new foods. Some they liked, and some they didn’t, but they really loved roasted moose.

venison recipe

This is a wonderful way to cook venison. Because it slow cooks for several hours, it turns out tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Of course, the marinade helps, too! You can use just about any part of the deer meat, but I’ve found that this is a great venison recipe for ham roasts. I usually use about a 4-pound venison roast when I make this. Be sure to remove any fascia before marinating.

Dan McCorvey hails from Ashburn, Georgia, and he’s rather famous locally as a grill master. I talked with Dan last night, and we were discussing the best venison recipe we’d ever eaten. He shared a venison recipe with me that he says is awesome. I’ve eaten a lot of Dan’s cooking, and it’s all been wonderful, so I take him at his word on this deer recipe.

Amazing venison recipe!

I come from a family of hunters. Wild game are plentiful here in our neck of the woods, and my family and I have killed plenty of quail, doves, woodcock, squirrels, rabbits, ducks, geese, wild hogs, and deer. I was usually the one who ended up cooking all these critters. We didn’t believe in killing an animal unless we were going to eat it.

Try this deer burger recipe!

Few things are better than homemade hamburgers. They’re usually far superior to anything you can get in a restaurant, and fast-food burgers pale in comparison. Most restaurants make their hamburgers so thin that you taste a lot more bun than meat. Of course, when you make your own homemade hamburgers, you can change that!

Garlic Roasted Quail

Of all wild game and game birds, Bobwhite quail is my absolute favorite! These plump little birds have breasts of white, mild-tasting flesh, and they can be cooked using a variety of quail recipes. The following is an easy quail recipe that’s practically impossible to “mess up.”

A great vension recipe!

I used to be a hunter, and I was married to an avid hunter. We always had game in the freezer, especially deer meat. I got pretty creative with my deer recipes. This venison recipe isn’t all that creative, but it’s really tasty. It’s also fairly simple, especially if you’ve cut some of the venison into cubes before freezing it.

Wild duck recipe

For my wild duck recipes, I’ve almost always used wood ducks, but I’m sure it would work with most any type of grain-eating duck. The reason I used wood ducks is because that was what the family hunters brought home for me to prepare. I’m a simple, down-to-earth type, so I always called this Orange Duck. If you want to be fancy, you can call it Duck a L’Orange.
