In this week’s Deer Season 365 Podcast episode, we’re talking with Dr. Martin Bucknavage of Penn State University’s Department of Food Science about handling a harvested deer from field to fork to keep your venison safe and delicious, particularly in warm weather situations. We even dive into the pros and cons of aging venison, safe jerky preparation, and the benefits of canning venison. This is a great episode to check out before you take your first deer of the 2022-2023 deer season!
