why do they call deer meat "venison"?

Same reason they call pig meat pork and cow is beef, and chicken poultry.\n\nIt's the left over of the Norman invasion of England, and the nobility using their terms for the meat they ate.

John Deere is a tractor company.\n\nThe terms are "John Doe" and "Jane Doe".  \n\nIt turns out that the "John Doe" custom dates back to the reign of England's King Edward III, during the legal debate over something called the Acts of Ejectment. This debate involved a hypothetical landowner, referred to as "John Doe," who leased land to another man, the equally fictitious "Richard Roe," who then took the land as his own and "ejected," or evicted, poor "John Doe."\n\nThese names -- John Doe and Richard Roe -- had no particular significance, aside from "Doe" (a female deer) and "Roe" (a small species of deer found in Europe) being commonly known nouns at the time. But the debate became a hallmark of legal theory, and the name "John Doe" in particular gained wide currency in both the legal world and general usage as a generic stand-in for any unnamed person.\n\n"Jane Doe" is a logical feminine version.

I am not sure of the origin of the word, but dressing implies finishing something.\nA dressed animal is one that has been at least partially prepared after slaughter. A hunter will field dress a deer or other larger animal by gutting it to help the carcass cool. \nI think American and Canandian governments have differing definitions for poultry, but generally it means plucked, gutted and drained of blood.\nAt home the chicken can be "dressed" with stuffing before cooking

Raw steak apparently, unfortunately I'm a vegetarian, so I've never tried this out - in case my eye takes a sneaky nibble in the night!  I do have carnivorous friends who swear by it though.

very little is different - their are more similarities in fact.. both are made of cells and their cells are very similair until you get to DNA structure.. but even that is somewhat similar.. both have hair, give live birth, produce milk for their young (both are mammals). both have vertibrae, ribs, legs, etc.. similar bones just some are longer than others in different parts of their bodies.. both need to eat and both produce waste.. both value their lives equally\n\nthe few differences are one eats meat the other is strictly vegetarian.  Deer have longer limbs for running and eyes widely spaced to see a preditor and set on a longer neck.. Lions have close set eyes designed for locking onto prey, they have claws for catching as opposed to hoofs for running, and stronger forelimbs - build to kill\ndeer - built to run

If you hit a deer, your car and the deer are probably going to be pretty messed up. Call 911 first, if there was a need for animal control to be involved, the dispatchers can handle that. I live in Vermont- lots of deer, trust me on this. Of course if you hit a deer, it dies, and you're okay, call a friend with a pickup truck and have venison BBQ. Actually, that would be illegal. Although, you can ask for the carcass....sometimes they let you have it.....

GROUND BEEF......\n\nWhat do you call a cow with two legs?\nLean Beef

I'm not sure what you mean by sticky fat but venison is not marbled with fat like beef so it is very lean and very good and healthy, deer store most of the fat in the rump around the hind 1/4s and it turns hard and white when the carcase cools cant really avoid it but it is easy to hack off when  cooled down

What is cruel is killing an animal and letting it rot.  Hunting for sport is barbaric and inhumane.  The thought that someone can go into nature and blow a moose or duck or deer out of existance and get PLEASURE from that is insane.  And they try to to excuse that murder by saying they eat the meat.  Meantime, hundreds of thousands of pounds of chicken and beef are thrown away daily because it goes past the expiration date.\n\nThat's what I don't understand.  Taking pleasure in going into the wild and blowing an animal's brains out.

That's what I'm talking about.  Kill 'em & grill 'em.  If god didn't want us to kill and eat animals - he wouldn't have made them out of meat!  Nothin' quite like that front flip a doe on the run makes when you pop her w/ a 7mm mag from 25 yards.

I have chickens that I use for food and I fish often, so the chickens in my freezer are some I killed and dressed myself.(I dress 4 or 5 at a time) And I clean the fish I catch and cook them the same day.(bream, bass, catfish) I get venison from my brothers who hunt. I didn't process them but I keep deer steaks, ground deer, and roasts in my freezer. I'm not a Redneck nor a Hick(no road-kill), I'm just self-sufficient. I don't have to depend on the grocery store to survive.

not at all. i dont believe in killing just for the sake of having a big trophy to brag about. but for having food it is totally acceptable. and in certain parts of the country the animal population has to be thinned out. i live in the ozarks and the population of deer get so thick it is common to cause crashes in town. as long as the animal is being used to feed people it is acceptable to slaughter it. but only in a humane way.

In that case - You should know all about rifles!\n\nExcellent inexpensive meat.\nLet me know which store you can get 100lbs of 98% lean steaks for around $25.\n\nIf it tasted bad - you didn't fix it right.\nIt's lack of fat makes it taste different.\n\nAlso -  if you go for the biggest,  oldest deer (with a big rack),  you're not going to get quite as good of the meat's as you do with a smaller 1 or 2 year old one.

We wouldn't eat meat if we weren't meateaters. Vegetarians are following a fad, not their instincts. \nWhat is the Indian word for bad hunter? Vegetarian!
