Venison makes you fart.
People who own guns, who come from that whole scene, who had parents who owned guns, kids who own guns, need some kind of fictional narrative to justify their stupid multigenerational circle jerk violence fantasy. There is no practical reason to be a gun nut unless you love violence and only "bad guys" love violence, nobody wants to be evil...so to justify the guns you have in your cabinet a story needs to be cooked up, deer is the main ingredient. This story was subconscious and slow to cook, it became more popular as violence against humans became less popular. You can hardly kill anyone legally anymore, but you can always kill deer, thank the gun gods.
Spending $2000 and a weekend to get meat nobody actually wants to eat helps fuel the narrative. That's what you're doing here. You're propping up the framework of obsolete macho bullshit. You like the taste of deer because your ideology is based on a manufactured "need" for guns and violence. All of it is fake as fuck.
You contributing to this thread is more of you buying into an ideology that already owns you. I do believe in situations like that it actually tastes better...but only if you buy into the whole bullshit story. For people who aren't politically motivated to like deer...they don’t eat it. They don't even remember it exists except in times like this.
Some years ago a local Chinese restaurant got closed down when someone reported they were bringing in road kill deer into the back entrance.I've also seen it on the menu at Chinese restaurants.
Except for trucks.We killed all their natural predators.

I'm in semi-suburban woods near a lake, so the deer are thick enough around here that it wouldn't be sporting to hunt them with anything besides bare hands.
On the topic of natural predators, there are tons of bedroom communities going up all over the place out here. It's been at least a couple of years since I've seen a coyote, bobcat, or fox walking through the front yard, but the deer are there every day. You can still hear the coyotes at night, sometimes, or see a turd in the street that looks like it's made of felt on account of the rabbit fur. That's the only sign they're still out there.
Hunting isn't about the meat.
It is all about getting up really early in the morning, putting a bunch of stuff on, going out into the woods and freezing your ass off, getting drunk, getting sober and coming home after dark.
Deer season is in full force where I live and funny hunting pictures are everywhere in my FB feed. My co-worker's daughter shot a deer this morning, but, didn't know how to gut & clean it and called mommy at work for help.
