Tasty recipes for the venison and game season
. By GRACE R. DOVE
‘Post Staff
It's now two days into buck
. Season; hopefully many lucky area
hunters have already bagged a
tasty deer for the freezer.
‘Those who haven't bagged a
buck yet shouldn't worry: buck
~.8eason runs until December 12.
And there are always antlerless
deer (doe) season (Dec. 14-1 6) and
flintlock muzzleloader /winter
archery (Dec. 26-Jan. 9.)

While the size of the rack is
«more important to some hunters,
‘Auction will
others are more impressed by the
overall size of the animal, since
approximately 60 percent of its
live weight will be lost during proc-
essing. A buck weighing 170 lbs.
alive will yield 65-70 lbs. of meat
for the freezer.
My family has used several game
recipes for many years. As for the
great debate - to soak or not to
soak the meat to get rid of the
“wild” taste — we never soak any
wild game. It's delicious as is.
These recipes also work well
with small game. Because game
meats tend to have less fat than
beef, we try not to let the meat dry
out.
Impatient hunter's venison:
1-1/2 1b. of venison scraps or
bite-size pieces of tenderloin
1/2 medium white onion,
diced 2 cups beef bouillon*
1 small green pepper, diced
1 small can of mushroom
pieces
Salt and black pepper to taste
In a cast-iron skillet, lightly
brown venison and onion in a small
amount of margarine. Add beef
bouillon, green pepper and mush-
rooms (do not drain).
Simmer on medium heat for 20
minutes. Serve over white, brown
or wild rice or whole-wheat noodles.
*Substitute chicken bouillion if
you are using small game instead
of venison.
Marinated venison:
1 or 2 lbs. bite-size pieces of
venison or small game
one bottle of commercially
made red wine marinade
Marinate meat 3-6 hours in a
closed container, turning it once
or twice. Do not discard marinade.
Slowly simmer the meat in it in a
covered pan until tender, approxi-
mately 30 minutes.
Serve over white, brown or wild
rice or whole-wheat noodles.

photo that you'd like us to print?
Send it to The Dallas Post, P.O Box
366, Dallas PA 18612-0366. Please
include your name, address, phone
number, the hunter's name and
where it was taken.
Venison is good for you, too
Hunting families (or those with hunting friends who share their
harvest) often enjoy wild game simply for its taste. In addition to
being “good eatin’,” wild game is also a healthy food, especially for
those concerned about fat.
According to statistics in the Deer & Fixings Cookbook, venison
and wild game:
* Contain half the grams of fat found in supermarket chicken or
turkey, 1/10 the fat in lean ground chuck and 1/12 the fat of lean
cured ham.
* Are comparable to chicken and turkey in cholesterol content.
* Contain fewer calories than the same size serving of roast |
chicken or turkey and half the calories of ham or ground chuck. |
* Contain more protein than freshwater or saltwater fish, beef
liver, chicken or turkey. [i
* Are a rich source of calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium,
phosphorous and iron.
The meat of choice of European royalty for many centuries, veni-
son can be found today on the menus of elegant restaurants in
both North America and Europe.

United Way helps local people
This year's United Way of Wyo-
ming Valley campaign theme, “We
are Caring People..the United Way,"
was brought to life through the
personal stories of several Wyo-
ming Valley residents.
Dallas resident Carl Nagy, Th-
eresa Gwilliam of Harveys Lake
and Susan Klein of Nanticoke told
of their personal experiences with
United Way agencies during the
annual campaign celebration for
the United Way of Wyoming Val-
ley.
Nagy spoke on behalf of the Big
Brother/Big Sister program. He
was joined at the podium by his
nine-year-old “little brother” Kris
Harris of Edwardsville. “Although
I was fortunate to have both my
parents when I was a kid, 1 also
had a neighbor who took an inter-
est in me and took me hunting
with him,” recalls Nagy. “Out of
this relationship grew a life-long

So I had a very positive personal
experience with a man who really
acted like a big brother.”
Nagy was followed by Gwilliam
and her daughter, Cori, who re-
ceived physical therapy services
through the Wyoming Valley Chil-
dren’s Association. “At the age of
two, my daughter Cori, a special
needs child began to learn the
freedom of expression, movement
and the freedom of being herself.”
Today, Gwilliam is a troop leader
with Penn's Woods Girl Scout Troop
686. It is the only troop of its kind
for “differently-abled” children.
