I don't have any off the top of my head, but I have two of the quality Venison recipe books, and I can honestly say that I haven't had a bad recipe out of them yet. You can do a google search for quality venison books and find there website. I think they have a few sample recipes on there also.

i'd like to see some on venison too.....
i love to eat meat but i'm having a hard time making myself like venison......i'd like to aquire the flavor because of the availability of deer on my property.....
when i was a teenager, my buddies would bring some deer meat and we'd cook it in an iron skillet over an open fire with lots of butter, salt, pepper and of course some dirt and pine needles would fall in........maybe after a day of running in the woods and riding atvs i was just that hungry that it tasted great........but it just doesn't do it for me......then again, i haven't tried cooking it with dirt and pine needles.....

Good Afternoon Larry,
I always like cookin up my venison in a cast iron skillet and I always throw in some smoked bacon and onions as well !
You might even try throwing in some peppers, and of course you could try some pine needles and dirt for that extra flavor ! Been eating deer meat since,well,for 53 years. Ate it many ways.
This is the way I like it best,fried.
Recipe would be something like this,make sure you cut the deer up in 24 hours and get it in the freezer[shorter time if warmer!]
Cut up the hams and loin in 1/2 inch or so thickness,throw the rest away!
Get you a cuber,run the steaks through the cuber 2-3-4 times,than wrap it and freeze it. Starting with the beginning here cause I've seen to many deer spoiled,than people eat it and say it tastes gamey,[its not gamey,its spoiled!]
Now that you have some good frozen cubed deer meat in your freezer,you can cook it!!
Heat large skillit up,put generous amounts of bacon grease in it,get it good and hot,coat your deer meat in light coating of flour,put it in skillit,salt and black pepper,and don't over cook it,turn maybe once,maybe 3-5 min a side,cubed in a hot skillit with plenty of grease,can't beat that way.

Thank you to Greenmule for mentioning good dressing practices, because even the best recipe in the world cant cover up spoiled meat.
As promised hHere are a few of the best.
--------------------
Venison Pot Roast
required:
venison roast about 4lb or so
1/4cup mild bacon (or salt pork)
3tbsp butter
1 cups hot water
1cup cider or fruit juice
1 tsp parsley
1/4 tsp thyme
2 tbsp flour
salt and pepper to taste
stalk of celery, sliced onions, carrots, potatoes
make small cuts or pockets in the roast, and fill with bacon or salt pork. in a dutch oven is best or deep cassorole dish, brown the meat on all sides in the butter. Add hot water, cider, and spices. Cover and simmer for about 3 hours in oven at 350. after 2 hours add the veggies.
when the veggies are tender and cooked, if to liquidy thicken with flour.
--------------------
Or try Venison Stroganoff in your cast irons
1.5lbs venison round steak
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1 cup diced onion
Can of drained sliced mushrooms
10 oz can beef bouillion
1 tsp salt
1 tsp worchestershire sauce
1 tsp soya sauce
1 cup sour cream
6 cups cooked egg noodles
Cut meat into very thin strips, dip in flour until coated. In a large skillet, brown the meat in butter then remove it. Cook and stir onions and mushrooms in butter . Stir in the meat and everything but the sour cream and noodles. Cover and simmer 45 to an hour until tender. mix sour cream and serve with noodles.
--------------------
Deer scraps sausage
This is good for the lesser cuts of deer or elk and moose too.
5 lbs meat cut into 2" chunks
1 lb beef or mutton suet
1 onion quartered
1 cup quick cook oatmeal
3 tbsp cinnamon
4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste about 2 tbsp each
Put meat and suet into pot with about 4" of water and simmer for 2 hours. while the meat simmers, cook the onion in about 3 cups water.
Grind the meat, suet and onion alot (use a meat grinder if you have one). Add the oatmeal to the onion water, simmer for about 5 mins, and add it to the meat. Let it cool enough to handle, then knead in the spices. While this is still warm, pack into cake or bread pans, cover and age in the fridge overnight. Cut into meal sized bricks and wrap well in foil or freezer wrap.
When ready to eat lightly grease a hot skillet and drop it in, Great with hash browns and honey .
Enjoy but none of these hold a candle to a simple peppered deer steak on the bbq with a nice slice of melted swiss.

i think these are funny:
-"most people don't know how to cook deer meat, they cook it too long"
-"if you shoot the deer after it has been spooked, it'll taste gamy....a lot of people whistle or shoot the deer and this makes it taste gamy"
-"you'll have to mix some beef fat in with it"
-"if you cook it in spaghetti or chili, you'll not know it because it covers up the flavor"
-"if you soak the steaks in milk, it'll take the game flavor out of it" (i did this once for two days, then grilled it....it really didn't have any game flavor....i didn't add any seasoning so it didn't have ANY flavor.......great texture, though......my fault, i need to try this one again)
-"you have to let it hang, the longer it hangs the better it is most people don't let them hang long enough"
-"you have to bleed it out real good, a lot of people just bleed it enough"
-"a lot of people just don't cook it right"
and there are more.....i just think it's funny......
OR, you could just cook some beef!
i'm trying, i really do want to acquire the taste.....i'll keep watching this thread.......actually, i haven't tried the smoked loin.....i brought it home and put it in the freezer......maybe i should have tried it right away....hopefully i didn't ruin it....

I understand your thinking that the guidelines you posted are funny to you. You should understand that alot of the items you point out here are true also.
What makes beef so tasty and tender has alot to do with its fat content. The most tender and the tastiest beef steaks are those that have a higher fat content. I am not speaking of the fat around the edges, but rather the fat that is "marbeled" in the meat itself. Venison is very lean meat (very little fat content). That means that is more difficult to cook venison in a way that leaves it moist and tender. If I gave you a dry, tough beef steak and a dry, tough venison steak on the same plate I would venture to say you wouldn't care for either. As a matter of fact they may taste strangely similar to one another.
Using venison in stew, chili, or spaghetti is one easy way to keep the meat moist and leave it tender.
Adding beef fat or pork fat to venison sausage and ground venison is absolutely necessary.
Soaking the meat in milk (I've been told to use Buttermilk) is supposed to take any gamey taste out of it. I believe this process is the same as any marinading process. It is not so much to remove gamey taste, but rather to allow the meat become more tender without drying out before cooking. Italian dressing or your favorite marinade would probably accomplish the same end.
Letting the meat "hang" before cutting it up is very important. Hanging the meat allows bacteria to start to break down the meat, this makes the meat more tender and flavorful. This does not mean to leave it hang in your garage and rot. The temperature needs to be contolled above freezing to make sure the meat is allowed to age without spoiling. Have you ever heard of aged beef? Its the same principle.
All in all it is not so much having to aquire the taste. It is a matter of cooking the venison so that you can enjoy it on your own terms. I hope never to acquire a taste for tough dry meat
By the way, I am in the same boat as you. I am not a deer hunter yet, but bought land that is absolutely riddled with them. I do however know alot of people that hunt and I get "free handouts" whenever I can. Backstrap or tenderloin is my favorite. There are not too many hunters that will part with that cut of meat, so it is hard to come by (as a handout).
Good luck with your venison. Hope you come to enjoy it.

Well to those people who say it tastes gamey,heard that,noticed some that let their deer hang out in 70 degree weather for a day or two,well to you all,that ain't gamey,thats rotten deer meat your eating.
What does gamey taste even mean? If it means wild game,well grouse has a different taste than duck,both are game animals.
Believe its more to do with the actual killing/dressing deer that gets some people,after all that,they don't like it.
If they had to kill a cow and dress it,they wouldn't like hamburgers anymore either.
Deer has its own taste,just like beef,pork or chicken,now if you don't like that taste thats one thing but to say it tastes gamey is....
Bet if those people ate some of mine they'd say pretty good stuff.[but some wouldn't even try it,cause its deer meat].
