Anybody there who eats deer meat? I cant imagine eating meat of such a lovely animal. My friend is saying it is really tasty? What is your opinion?

I tasted it once but did not like it. To me it has an almost sweet taste that does not agree with my tastebuds.

It has been a long time but I have had venison. I did not care much for it. I live in the city and am not a hunter. I prefer beef to wild game. I have tried Buffalo meat and it is okay, much better for you as it is not as fatty as beef but still prefer beef as it has a better flavor. The deer are beautiful animals but if I had to hunt to feed my family then I would.

I have eaten venison on more than one occasion. I like it, but my hubby and both of my boys don't care for it very much. I guess it does taste a little gamier than beef, but it is very good in stews. The area we live sometimes is overloaded with deer and they end up not making it through winter, (not enough to eat) so their numbers are reduced through special hunts... the meat doesn't go to waste, which is a good thing.

oh yea, I've eaten venison. I grew up in a small town out in the country. Hunting is a big thing in my old hometown. So I've definitely had deer meat. A lot of families in my town hunt and then freeze that meat to have it all year round. It really is a good meat. You should try it. I luckily have a way of eating meat and not really thinking about the animal that it came from.

I have eaten Venison on several occasions. I have also had it many different ways - ground like hamburger, steaks, sausage, bologna. It is quite tasty. I recommend trying it. Of course, it does have a distinct smell, so that does turn some people off. Perhaps trying the bologna first or have someone else cook it for you. If your friend gives you a chance to try it, go for it!
