My husband is a hunter. The most important hunting week of the season, doe week, started Dec. 8.
Any woman — or man for that matter — with a hunter in his or her life knows that venison is on its way.
I don’t come from a family of hunters, so it took me a few years to fully understand the importance of this time of year.
When my husband and I first met, doe week seemed like the longest week of the year because I missed him so much. Now, I start counting the days down to doe week sometime in September.
That’s when I start asking questions. “Shouldn’t you be out baiting your pile or something?”
All I know for sure is that you should never tell a hunter to choose between you and doe week.
You will lose. There is something primitive and cool about cooking the food your man (or woman) has brought home. Click link below for recipes!

I am the writer of this venison recipe article, and I just wanted all of you hunters out there to know that what I submitted and what actually went to print with regard to referring to “doe week” was an editing error. The column I sent to print clearly stated it was “deer week”.(I was moritified!) If anyone would like a copy of the true article and chip steak and jalapeno recipe that I submitted fee free to contact me at eenbop@aol.com. Sorry for the mistake!
