Deer Bones

[JoePa]

I figure that a lot of you guys go hunting in addition to going fishing - thought you might give me an idea about using deer bones to make soup - I just made myself a large pot of vegetable soup using beef bones - boy I'll tell you something - nothing like a nice hot bowel of soup on a cold winter day - the soup was fantastic - when I butcher my deer I usually throw away the bones - was wondering if any of you have use the bones to make soup and how did it taste - thanks

I debone my deer and trim the silverskin and fat, I find the taste imparted by the bone marrow and tallowy fat unpleasant , can't imagine making soup using deer bones.

I only save the lower leg bones with attached hooves for the dogs to chew on. Like the above poster, I am not a fan and don't know many people who are fans of deer stock.

I always gave mine to a fellow co-worker. He made medicine for his son out of them. Thats all I know about that.

This is not recommended because of possible CWD within the bones.

Don't use the deer bones, yuck. Lots of beef bones around.
