VENISON, THE OTHER RED MEAT, ON MARYLAND TABLES

ANNAPOLIS — Maryland’s hunting season is in full swing, and deer meat is finding its way onto many dining tables across the state.

In the 2013-2014 hunting season, which runs intermittently from September to February, Maryland hunters bagged nearly 96,000 deer, according to the state’s Department of Natural Resources.

That’s a lot of venison to go around.

“You can barely tell it’s not beef when it’s cooked right,” said Rockville’s Peter Oristian.

Oristian, 50, has been hunting since he was 12 years old and serves venison as much as he can.

Anyone know a place that's local that gives away extras? My family would love and be thankful for some.

Just so you know , I'm over 70 and this is the first year I've seen so much poaching and spotlighting in my area. They kill the deer and cut off the some parts . I've counted many laying about. Pisses me off , a lot of the meat is wasted.
