Somebody said Shanks?

[coldboremiracle]

This is perhaps one of my most favored deer recipes, I've done it with deer, elk, and sheep.

Venison Shanks

Having discovered Osso Bucco I haven’t done shanks any other way since.

 

[JockStalk]

Best cut bar none

 

[The Singing Stalker]

Just learned to cut the shanks off. Good timing.

 

[coldboremiracle]

I'll be making these for dinner tonight, fresh off a deer my son shot last week.

One our small deer (muntjac and small fallow ) I cut the knee through and give those to the dogs. It makes a nice round joint to freeze as no end bone in the bag.

I’m a fan of shanks, osso bucco or a v slow curry. Yummy!

 

[T.eddie]

Looks good, also love a shank either whole or osso bucco when the size allows it

 

[Dazb1967]

Not exactly a shank but I have a Sika neck in the slow cooker for tea tonight, I can't wait for tea tonight as it smells bloody lovely

Looks good but of all the joints on a deer, that's got to be the easiest to cut cleanly with a knife?!

Seemed to me that there was excessive use of the saw there. Glad I'm not the only one!

Really common in american butchery videos. Steve rinellawhen in scotland was shown how and looked very suprised

No need for a saw to cut shanks easier with a knife.

I like to cut the bones for two reasons, they fit in a pot better, and it opens up the bones to let out the marrow. Otherwise yes, it is very easy to cut with a knife.

 

[JockStalk]

To get the marrow I just flip knife over and crack bone with the back of the blade. Simples

Yes, I’m always astonished by how bad the game handling , preparation and cooking done by Steven Rinella and his team is. Really very poor indeed , given his show is called meat eater it makes it worse still. I recently saw a meat eater cooking video featuring their so called chef ( I think she’s called pewit or something) and I’ve never ever seen anyone cook a venison roast as badly as that.
Kindest regards, Olaf

I was surprised, too. Most of the American videos I've watched seem to be pretty poor in that respect.
Maybe in the US they never get a chance to hone their game butchery skills as they're only allowed to shoot a few deer each year, and the fact they're not allowed to sell any venison probably means there's less incentive to do a good job.

I can only speak from my own experience, many folks don't care much about venison. I know a lot of people who just give it away to the first person they can. I love eating it, I try and keep my family eating it all year round. As well as the boys at work, we cook deer, elk, antelope, moose and whatever else every chance we get, as we all hunt. Being as I like to eat venison so much, I always make the best effort to keep everything as clean as possible, and waste not.

This is from the deer my son shot last week, its been aging in the cold October air in my woodshed for over a week. Last night I pulled off the front shanks and prepared them per the recipe above, and the boys and I are having them for lunch today in the office.

Yup, the standards there seem to be very poor in relation to wild meat handling. I always thought it would be the opposite. I do like watching the Meat eater Steven Rinella videos and also listening to his podcasts when I have a very long drive to undertake. But, they have little clue when it comes to preparing and cooking wild meat ( venison in particular) from what I’ve seen. A positive force, but very low quality Gastronomie.

I'm not sure that's the case, pretty sure there are states that harvest more deer in a season than the entirety of the UK.
