I'm partial to some Bambi... My cats are too...  (One of my found roadkills) I like to put it in the freezer in the largest pieces that I can get in and close the door... When I cook it... I take an ordinary crosscut saw (like you use to cut a board in half), cut off a likely chunk... Put on the grill real low, smoke until the meat is thawed out, (longer if I can stand to wait that long) and then... Cut into chunks into the pressure cooker... Cook at pressure for a half hour... Or longer... Eventually I add fresh veggies... And... Yummy. |

I like it best in thin strips, soaked for a couple days in the fridge in tomato juice, fresh rosemary, fresh garlic and salt, a little good balsamic vinegar isn't bad too. Then laid on a rack in the sun over a smoldering, smoky fire for several hours. Careful with the heat, it has to dry, if it cooks instead it's ruined.

One of the little old ladies that I garden for... went out in the meadow banging a wooden spoon in a cooking pot.... Bambi just stood there.... looking her in the eye... She started buying rolls of wire! one winter they were so starving that i could go out and shoot a gun to scare them off but they'd only run away a little ways and then come back about a half hour later. i sprayed the trees they were gnawing on with a mixture of urine and cayenne pepper and they didn't care. still ate the trees. the only thing that works here is a good fence. nothing else is reliable. even plants that say they are not deer friendly the young deer will still sample. have a few dozen young deer sample a plant back to nothing. even daffodils can get some abuse, but luckily not much. we have thousands of daffodils here now. almost all the tulips are gone. i have walked right up to deer in the woods (within 5-10ft). sometimes if they don't smell you and you move calmly enough they seem to completely miss that you are there. |

I used to shoot bottle rockets at them...
Didn't bother them a bit.
Just because daffodils are toxic... Doesn't mean they know that before taking a bite!
When you have a herd of deer, everybody has to take a bite before trying something else...
They spit them out though... And... You're right... After trying the daffodil, they move on to something else... And... When they find something that they like... They come back for more.

Yes, Bambi will sample anything to death; enough deer, you won't have enough of anything else; I suspect there are still cougars around the farm, as deer are staying fairly scarce; fine by me; we predators tend to respect each other, honor among thieves, I suppose.
