I've arrowed a couple big boys- recipe calls for loins, I use both, and too much of the liquid is quite ok- I dip each piece in it- got one guy that will bring over fresh picked morrels if I'll cook this- so I'll double the recipe and we set and eat just this
I usually arrow 4-5 deer a year- my meat supply ya know-got to chuckle- don't need to worry about contaminated meet
wife and I seperated for 6 years- what do you suppose I lived on- deer, quail, pheasant, doves, ducks, and geese- some figure I'm 1/2 wild

grocery bill
Also- backstrap which I consider very good, I cut into 11" strips
Lion/backstrap is all the same to me- very fine eating
but then again, steaks are nice and my ground up makes for dandy hamburgers, chilli, and the like
glad you liked GSPmom-
going to put up another mouth waterer for ya
