The other red meat

Steve Loder believes that where there's beef, there should be venison.

As a deer hunter and venison enthusiast for more than 40 years, Clyde native Loder has turned his love of the meat into a publishing venture that has so far spanned three books in the “Quality Venison, Homemade Recipes and Homespun Deer Tales” series.

For new venison eaters who may not know how best to prepare the meat, Loder suggests substituting it for beef in any recipe.
