Why is venison good for me?

It has more protein than any other red meat, which means that it sates the appetite really well. It is also particularly rich in iron (moreso than beef), which prevents anaemia and is good for energy levels. It's full of B vitamins: B2 (riboflavin) and B3 (niacin), which help regulate metabolism; and vitamin B6 and B12, which may lower homocysteine build-up in the blood, thus lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Thanks to all the wild and pasture food that deer eat, the small amount of fat in venison is likely to contain high levels of conjugated linoleic acid, which is thought to protect against heart disease and cancer.
It doesn't have to be fun to be fun.


Keep your knife sharp and your skillet greasy.

It's also not shot full of steroids and antibiotics like pen raised beef, pork, etc.

And it's particularly satisfying to me, because every bite is hard-earned.
Hunting is hard work.
