Finally picked up my meat

[Daveynewman]

I'm excited to try venison bacon 

I have never had it or was offered it from a butcher

A guy in cuba ny processed it for me 

Cant wait to try it 

[turkeyfeathers]

I've had venison bacon and bear bacon from that same guy. Gman gave me some of both. the bear is more like traditional bacon as bear has more fat. The deer bacon was still excellent though

put a pic up on the dinner thread when you cook it up

@G-Man always talks about it

 Dunno where he gets his from.  I have looked up how to make it as something I want to try.  It's actually like making a ground smoked loaf and cutting it into bacon strips.  At least that's what I saw online. 

Let us know how it is.

It's going to be the 1st thing I make hahaha

Joe does a great job. Think sizzlelean, can crisp it up if you add oil.to pan but I prefer it flexible

I made it a few yrs ago. Didn't care for it personally, but my brother and his family absolutely loved it.

What that bill run you? I haven’t had a deer done in 3-4 years cause I’d go broke lol.

[Daveynewman]

For 2 deer he charged me 220 but I got all special stuff like the bacon 

Snack sticks 

Breakfast sausage 

And whole tenderloins 

I got the one deer by itself done in all snack sticks 

Easy way to get the kid to eat it lol

That’s not bad, I make my own cheese brats and sticks. And jerky.

Yes like a loaf but a lot of prep mix and smoke time involved..

I like my bacon the same way 

Not a big fan of it being crispy 

[dbHunterNY]

i always processed deer my self but anytime i do venison products like that i have it done. much easier and less hassle.

i should probably look this up before posting, but isn't bacon just the place on the pig where it comes from, and i think it's the belly? How does one get bacon from a deer?

doesn't have to be. typically from pork belly though. deer cuts are a lot smaller but there's thin cuts in a lot of places on a deer that you could use and cure/smoke the same way i'd think despite i've never done bacon.
