Venison: Free Range, Organic and Cost Saving
With the economy tightening a rising interest in free-range, hormone free, organic meat, you might want to take a look into a the great American pastime of hunting. More specifically, you might want to pick up a rifle and hunt some deer. If you bag a buck withing one hundred miles of your home, you can even consider yourself a locavore.The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife estimates that hunters bring home one million pounds of venison every year. Last year there were 14,516 deer killed in the Green Mountain State.
Wild venison can be prepared similarly to beef but has some advantages. It is low in fat, high in nutrients and artificial hormone free. Venison can be stored in the freezer and feed your family throughout the year.
If you are too squeamish to dress your kill, you can always find someone to do it for you -- or look for a restaurant that has venison on the menu.
