Old venison meat?

Have some OLD venison meat from like.. 2000. My mom was a butcher and cut it all up into steaks, burger, ribs, chops whatever. We got it all.. She said she refuses to cook it for eatin', and dad said he isnt sure but he'd chance it. You guys think since its all wrapped in butcher paper and in paper sacks and what not, it's good for making Jerky? Jake said it would be as long as it isnt freezer burned, and it is not.

Cook up a little of it and taste it to make sure it doesn't taste freezer burned.
The freezer burn wont hurt you as far as I know, it just tastes bad.
We've had older meat (a couple of years; deer, antelope, elk) that's had freezer-burned edges. We just cut off the burned areas and it's cooked up fine. Shouldn't have to make jerky out of it if you don't want to, but you'll probably benefit from using a good marinade. For antelope, ya can't beat Lowry's Teriyaki marinade with pineapple juice. It's cheap and damned good!
Koinkydintally, I just had some o' that very same eats off the BBQ tonight - with a few brews on the patio, watchin' the sun go down over the river and the salmonflies swarming to drop eggs into the water, all to tune of Allman Bros. Mmmm-mmm. [:p]
it won`t poison you, but it might`nt have much flavour to it after all this time.
Smoke it with apple wood anywho, then dehydrate it probably.
Just looked, bunch of ribs, ground deer, Deer arm? haha.. Uhhh.. some marked chops, some steak, etc. Mom wont cook it so either we have to cook it in the garage on the propane camp stove, or jerky it and tell her its beef [:0] Think im gonna give it a try this week. If im not around for more than two days, Send a search party
dog food as long as it is a large dog used to eating scraps.
i like the coyote bait idea.....
don?t eat it. it may make you never want venison again but may be a great way to loose weight and nearly die
seriously i wouldn't it, especially would not make jerky, slow heat breeds bacteria, and you would more than likely over cook it try not to under cook it, or just under cook it and get sick
You must obtain a special permit to prepare this meat.
First, you must get a recognized degree from an accredited wild game culinary school.
If you do not use at least a fifty-year-old olive oil in your marinade, then you are an absolute idiot and not worthy to call yourself a Gunbroker Forum Member.

usally if i find deer meat that old ( Usally when i clean out the deep freeze ) I'll feed it to the dog.
The ribs weigh more than my little 12 pound dog [:D][:D][:D]
I ground it into burger, browned it in a fry pan, poured off any grease/moisture and then put in a pot to make chili with some vegetable oil to make up for the lack of fat.
Not a problem if properly trimmed and packaged in the first place.
Of course if it doesn't smell right when thawed, I would not have taken a chance.
But, that is my choice. Probably no worse for you then the injected beef you buy at Walmart. Probably much better.[;)]
Mike
just cut off the freezer burned parts and cook
and enjoy the rest. If it's been frozed
not thawed and refrozed I don't see how
it can spoil.

A big AMEN to that! [:D]
Everybody, dinner is at Jacob's tonight.
Got prolly 10 pounds of it out and ready... Its still chilled so it wont spoil, but not being refroze.. If'n I need to I can boil me some taters, throw in some cream and butter, make up some chunky (or smooth) mashed taters, get some corn on the cob, make some homestyle venison gravy, biscuits, the whole 9 yards [:D]

ya i guess that would be quite a supply of meat for a dog that size and you wouldnt want it eating it very often if its a inside dog. My german sheaperd eats alot of deer scrapes when i'm triming meat for jerky, wifes gets all kinds of pissed of at me for feeding it to her.

Oh, shes only supposed to weigh 8-9 pounds, but she likes her bacon, burger, etc. The older fella who had her before us (He couldnt take care of her any more, they took her to the pound and we got her out within 30 minutes of her being there) fed her dog food, but she would not even EAT her food until everyone was away from the table and put the plates in the sink. Then, she would not eat until you put a little of what you had, IN her food. So, she gets a little bit of fried burger meat if we have any, or we'll put an extra one on the grill to use in her food for a few days. Shes a good pup, stubborn at times, but shes good. Sleeps, walks, plays, bout it. Cant run away from you though.. shes got "asthma" or something. She gets choked up and gasps for air.

She isnt THAT bad, but she does sleep alot [:D]
and by cooking.
Might not taste good but if you cook it well I can't see it causing any harm. Have read that some in Siberia have fed their dogs mammoth meat no problem and it has been frozen 10,000 years.
