re: Deer ground meat question UPDATE : pg 3

I got my deer processed at Tramonte's in BR a couple years ago. They make you leave your quartered deer in an ice chest with your name on it. They supposedly fill them with ice every day and drain the water out, but they have hundreds of ice chests stacked on pallets, so no way to get to every one every day. It took 6 weeks to get my deer meat back, and every time I browned the meat it smelled like arse. Nobody ever got sick, and the taste wasn't bad. It was extremely sketchy. Never going back there. You can't tell me that 5-6 weeks in cold icy water won't spoil that meat. Got my own grinder and vacuum sealer now, and you can buy a 60lb box of boneless pork from Oak Grove Smokehouse for pretty cheap.

I normally just get straight ground deer. But this year I started using another place and they mix ribeye fat at a very reasonable rate. So I decided to go with that.
It is by far the best deer meat I have ever eaten. It's supposed to be 90/10, but it sure seems fattier than that...

The processors offer with out even seeing the meat was 63lbs of ground red stag and pork. I am going to give it a shot. He never once tried to say it wasn’t bad.

Sounds like your processor is an upstanding guy to offer to make things right that easily. Can't beat that at all!

Or he recognized you as the guy he sold the spoiled meat to

I’m pleased he will attempt to make right. I’ve heard Red Stag is good do I will give a shot because years before I’ve never had an issue. Also several friends use him and theirs is always fine

1. my first office was above a butcher shop -was told that all meat you buy at big stores was frozen several times before getting to consumer- I bought from him many 3-4 time refrozen steaks etc and was same as anywhere else
2. brought an ice chest of cleaned venison to another processor shop and while waiting opened several of the 100 or so chests waiting and most had no ice and smelled bad -took mine and went home
3. have seen processor in Natchez Miss mix meat from various ice chests
4. also have seen barely cursory wipe down of cutting tables after different batches of meat deer and hogs
6. Do your own
