I got hold of some local venison recently and I'm definitely a fan.
I'll always prefer beef, but venison has some unique upsides. For a start they're wild, so grass-fed by default.
Compared to beef, it's leaner, less calorific and contains more protein, which means lb-for-lb it fills you up more and makes you feel more sated. It's also cheaper than beef.
I find it best when cooked in a stew, very tasty and tender. Sausages are also good.

@UncleIroh @Stahesh It's awesome to take a bunch of it and grind it in with beef too. You can make much leaner beef mixes that way.
@UncleIroh @Stahesh I want to say the best ratios are between 20%-30% venison and the rest beef. Really good for meat balls and chili

That's a actually a sound idea, thanks.
