I have tried all of the above and even used 7-up. I soak with milk or 7-up for a couple days before cooking for my wife if she is eating it. After soaking with milk or 7-up it seems most of the wild taste is out and wife will eat it. I will drain it couple of times to clean the blood. I soak with ice water to get it clean to make my sausage- it still has a wild taste this way.

Deer meat is deer meat no matter what you soak it in. Have left it in icechest with ice & plenty of water for up 7 days. Outside is real light & You can cut into a hind quater, backstrap or whatever & it's gonna be dark inside which is blood. Have left them hang in walk in cooler for 7 days & all of it is dark with blood. It all taste the same......taste Like deer meat, It's a mind thing! Now what you soak it in................Ice water, coke or acid may change the texture & help break it down some so it's a little more tender but you're not gonna change the taste.

A deer taste like deer
duck taste like duck
dog taste like dog
unless you add a ton of seasoning & then it taste like seasoning

I cover mine in ice for 3-4 days in an ice chest after I skin it. I drain it everyday and add more ice if needed. When I process the meat, I remove all the white I can off of the meat. I don't do anything special when I cook it. It is all in the process of processing the meat when harvested. My deer meat doesn't have a wild game taste at all. My wife and kids love it and say it tastes like beef.

i never soak my deer in anything. If i want beef I'll buy beef. soaking it in water will remove some but not all the blood. would you soak your rack of ribeye or your beef tenderloin in milk/water for a week before eating it? I think not.

Tell you what, you give me your deer meat and I will give you some pork or beef.... its a deer so it should taste like a deer, by soaking you take a chance of it spoiling or getting sour. If you want to just appease the wife soak it in milk a few hrs and show her the pink milk.

Now as far as cooking it.........Most of ours is cut into roast, cubed into stew meat, it makes a mean soup or put into crockpot. Backstraps & loins are froze whole to fry. Ground meat I don't mix with anything such as pork. If it needs oil I add Olive oil.
Any of you guys have a George Foreman grill? Straight ground deer meat (no pork) makes some awesome hamburgers on it! They dont dry out. Don't know how but they don't.

I'd never waste milk like that! and as far as the meat, keep it in an ice chest and drain the water out every day and add more ice every time you drain it, for a few days.

Soak it in water if you want dry meat. You want to keep the blood its moisture. Moisture ruins the texture. Treat venison as you would beef. I wrap mine in trash bags and age it in an ice chest for about 7 days. I put a brick under the chest and leave drain open. I prefer to shoot young deer to eat. 60 to 80 # is ideal. If i shoot a deer over 100# its ground meat and sausage.

I used to soak, drain, soak, drain, ice, a little vinegar...............and all that other crap. Now, I clean the deer, I remove the backstrap, I cook the deer. Screw all that other stuff. It's deer meat, learn how to cook it because it is suppose to taste like deer. We eat deer and hog meat multiple times a week and even mix regular ground deer with beef 50/50 for tacos, and such.

I do the same.

The only reason I leave my deer meat in the ice chest for a few days is because after a day of hunting and then skinning and cutting up the meat, is to hunt another day or I take a day or two to rest.

I usually soak mine in butter milk if im going to fry it. Last year my brother told me to leave the deer in the ice chest three day and cover with ice, drain, and repeat. I did, but didnt like how the meat came out. Diferent texture. I may do it again with what im making into sausage, but not the back strap.
