Dh has some deer meat (ground and steaks) and also some Elk steaks. Are these okay for him to eat?

I know venison is usually quite lean so I would say yes. You only need to avoid or limit fatty cuts of meat.

Elk Cals 165 fat 2
Beef Cals 301 fat 20

Ruth, have you been wrestling bears lately? I know you have a lot of them in Canada, but really!

[HunnyBee]

Oh Good in case a bear comes out of the mountains, Iknow it's not SB Friendly... LMBO>>>

I love Elk.. hmmm

Laurie, we DO have bears around here. One was wandering through a meadow down by the Lake and a woman called to tell me one of my dogs was down there. Of course, my Girls were safe at home but we found out later that it was a black bear cub who was closely followed by his mother.

Hunny Bee, where in the USA !!!! are you?

Venison and elk are more lean cuts of meat than beef. When I have access to them, I eat them over beef because they are so lean. But, as Ruth says, avoid the fatty cuts if there are any.

As an added note, bison (buffalo) is also a very lean meat. The information actually shows that it is leaner than chicken or fish.

Good grief! I've been eating the wrong meat!! I do know where I can get some bison... I suppose it's expensive, though. Also ostrich. You forgot the stats for ostrich.

We have bears up at our cottage. We arrived there one day to find scratch marks on the corner of the cottage where the bear had obviously stood up for a stretch and a scratch. The marks are about eight feet high. shudder. Also, "he'd" taken a little bite out of the wood siding. Testing it for edibility, I suppose.
