Besides Sonny D'Angelo and my front bumper, does anyone have a local source for deer?

You might try George Wells Meats. They really don't sell to retail, but if you show up and aren't shy about a large-ish order, they probably won't turn you down. Just go in thru the loading dock and up to the office, like you've been there before.

How often do they have any of those in stock? It's tempting to pick up a nice piece of kangaroo. First I gotta find a good recipe-- braised in Foster's, no doubt.

Sounds good, I'm game... uh better strike that. Bad choice of words. Thanks for the Wells rec. I only need a few pounds of it to run out some jerky. Isn't there someone in Bucks County who dresses venison and actually sells it? Outside of D'Angelo Bros and online/mail-order, not much around.How about braised in Victory Hop Devil?It's tempting to pick up a nice piece of kangaroo.

No kidding. I'd assumed that it would be tough, gamy, et cetera. You know, what with all the hopping and so on. What does the steak taste like?

When I went to saul hs. in the 90's there was a class for meatcutting and we would dress deer for people who brought it in.even make sausage ,they didnt charge but kept some of the end product ,and I am pretty sure they sold that or gave it away .You might want to call and see if they still do that.

Kangaroo restaurant is Aqua Terra on Main Street in Annapolis, MD. It's been a couple of years, but I remember it as more beefy tasting than anything, maybe a touch gamy, but I like gamy. Had texture, but not tough, I like that too as opposed to mushy tenderloin. Don't know if the cut I had came from the hopper or not.
