Thread: Venison shanks?

Been meaning to try something with them. Don't have a slow cooker, could do something slow in the oven though. What say you?

Sorry to rehash an old thread just wondering why you’d only give the shanks to the hounds if off a farm? Parasites and other nasties or possible 1080 residue in animal from a non fatal dose?


Just shot my first deer in bloody ages, had the 4 legged deer repeller with me for her very first deer but have not shared the spoils of the hunt with her yet as I am ultra paranoid about 1080 although the area itself hasn’t had a drop in years over the main ridge (5-8ks away) did about a year ago and I know how ridiculously toxic it is to pooches.
As I seemingly spend most of my day trying to prevent her killing herself in a myriad of ways…eating solar garden lamps….swallowing bumble bees….I thought it would be slightly ironic to provide the means for her to off herself!
