For years, I shot deer. For years I tried making it palletable. Came real close with deer bratwurst, but I just couldn't overcome the dry texture without adding a 50/50 pork fat.

Made the switch to elk a few years ago. I have yet to find a single recipe I can live without. Every bite of every dish is pure amazeballs. Tasty creatures those giant beasts are.

I add 20% pork fat to both ground elk and deer basically to act as a binder and add a little pork flavor.
The deer I take spend the year living on corn, soybean, milo, etc that the farmers around me plant for crop. It’s like feedlot beef in the wild. Never had a bad one.
That being said, I’ve had some whitetail off sagebrush in the far NW and it can get a different taste.

Down in SWOK, that deer diet is wheat and wild CRP. It's been bumper crops for for native bobwhite, but it puts a game taste in venison that makes unseasoned dove taste good. We get those texas deer. 140in class deer dressing out at 100 lbs. All rack, no meat.

I use 4 lbs meat, a poblano pepper, a red and a yellow bell pepper, 1 habanero, an onion, a can of hot rotel, a large can of tomato juice, chili powder and 3 or 4 cans of kidney beans. Simmer it all day in the crock pot and mmmm
I use a similar recipe as clay. I’ve read cumin a few times. Season to taste with cumin but be careful, it’s easy to overdo

Certainly nothing wrong with a big pot of beans (with appropriate ham hock or neck bone seasoning) with corn bread and a slice of red onion on the side..
I made a pot of beans not long ago and used 2 short racks of pork short ribs that just fit in the crock pot. Man that is my new favorite in beans. And mexican cornbread.

Here's another highly contested dish...

Corn bread. Growing up, corn bread was a staple at the table. More so than rolls and biscuits. A few years ago, a coworker brought some for our Thanksgiving Turkey fry get-down, but it tasted off to me. Turns out, he added sugar to it. We all now refer to that as Yankee corn bread.

So, should corn bread have sugar in it or no?

Most everyone likes the crunchy corner pieces. I solved that by making mine in the waffle iron, everyone is happy. Yep add chopped jalapeno's, sometimes canned corn to the batter.
Great idea! Never thought about that. We tossed our waffle iron years ago. Neither of us can stand the super sweetness of maple syrup so it went away. I'd like to try this though.
