I don't have a place to hang deer to age it, I hunt in S TX and the meat is generally in the cooler a few hours after it hits the ground. Some folks swear by Italian salad dressing but I generally marinate steaks, tenderloins and such in a good Teriyaki marinade. My sausage recipes would probably cover a gamey taste but quite honestly a young doe or a nice 100 lb pig tastes and smells better to me than farm raised pork. I don't digest beef very well but enjoy it now and then, venison tenderloins I had tonight were better than any beef I've ever had, bar none.
