During the fall and early winter seasons, particularly in the regions surrounding Cal U’s campus and throughout Pennsylvania,  many hunters pursue a popular tradition of going out into the woods to hunt for deer; not just for sport or game, but also to help stock up their freezers with meat for the harsh winter ahead.

Now it’s one thing to get your prize deer home and clean it up and into the freezer, but you also have to know how to cook it the right way.  Below is the recipe.  Watch our video to see how it’s done!
