Man I'll never go back to store bought broth after figuring out how much better homemade is. Thanks for sharing.

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Amen! Thanks for watching.

Processing a deer in the morning. I found your channel at the perfect time.

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Congrats on the deer and best of luck with your processing! I’ve got videos on breaking down hindquarters, making bone broth, grinding deer burger, and quite a few venison recipes. If you have any questions, just leave a comment and I’ll be happy to help. Thanks for watching!

[@heathercoakley2969]

Thanks for the video, very informative. Also, I love your voice for narration along with the music!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thanks for watching, Heather, and thanks for the voice compliment! Let me know if you know anyone looking for voice over work lol

Hey, NC here. I just looked to see if this was a good idea and your video was first up. I pressure canned some Venison for my son yesterday it came out wonderful. I slow cooked the bones and scraps for the dogs. Looking at the left overs, that broth was very gelatinous and a translucent gold. Seems like a lot of good stuff came out of those bones. I’ll try your recipe for myself next time. Can’t have dogs eatin’ better than I do! Lol ..thanks for sharing 😊

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Haha don’t let those dogs keep all the good stuff! We make a big batch every hunting season and enjoy it year round. I hope you like it and please report back if you remember! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the bone broth video! Bubbling yummy venison broth right now, and your video helped me immensely! Ive made lots of bone broth, but never deer! Stoked 🔥 The car in front of me the other day hit a young strong buck, and killed him immediately, so i brought him home and figured everything out as i went along. It took me forever without experience and the right tools- but i got thru it and learned a lot, and now i have 65 lbs of meat in the freezer, bone broth bubbling, and next I'll clarify the tallow for homemade body care products. Not great for eating, but deer tallow is very close to our own skin oil, and readily absorbed. Feelin blessed with abundance over here 💜

[@outdoorindoortexan]

I’m so happy I was able to help, Amelia! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave the kind words. Enjoy all that deer!

@ameliahamilton8637 if you haven’t already, check out my channel for all my other venison recipes! I’ve got a few!

[@ameliachameleon]

@@outdoorindoortexan I definitely will! It took me so many days to go thru the entire process (including making and canning the bone broth, and the tallow rendering), that we've only just now started cooking and eating! I actually selected a recipe from your page in the sea of search results the other night, cuz I recognized your name 💜

[@ameliachameleon]

It was sooooo yummy!!!!!!!

[@henkdebakker8510]

All the way from The Netherlands I have been following your recipes with much delight. Thanks again for sharing!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thank you so much!! You’ve made my day. Howdy from Texas.

[@gregdevlin905]

Another great video with an explanation even I can follow. Great tip about waiting to salt until the end.

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thanks so much, Greg!!

[@RhubarbAndCod]

Beautifully done my friend! That's one gorgeous broth! It must be intensely flavourful. Love the roasting method to help bring out the good richness from those bones. Don't worry about your sad rosemary... you should see what we've got up here in Canada right now! Yikes! Thank you for this great process!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thanks so much! This batch packs a punch. It has been perfect for braising liquid and impromptu soups. I can only imagine how tough it is to garden up there! lol

[@terresaevans8460]

Love this , had an amazing day cooking this. Haven't had this much fun for a long time. And I love to cook. I am now going to do a batch of chicken and beef broth. Send me more info please. Love this so much.😂❤❤💕👍😀🥰

[@outdoorindoortexan]

I’m so happy you had such a good time cooking this up! That made my day. Thanks so much for circling back to share the kind feedback. Honestly, you don’t need to tweak much when using chicken or beef instead. Enjoy!!

[@adk6071]

If you use this for a braised shank recipe, mannnnn so good!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

yeah buddy!

[@loveandpanic]

Thank you for this video, it's perfectly well done! Also a tip for the excess fat I have is to feed it to the birds outside, they should love it!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thanks for the tip! I’ll give that hat a try next time around. Thanks for watching!

[@carrollcottrell3091]

Very informative. I didn’t realize the difference. Looks delicious!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thanks for watching Carroll!

[@jackiedillingham8781]

Why do you say not to use the spine or skull? I have a 40 qt batch I'm making right now that may have a spine bone. Thank you. I hope this huge first batch of mine is not ruined.

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Hi Jackie, spinal cords specifically and brains can carry diseases including Chronic Wasting Disease, which is a big concern in parts of Texas. It’s just always been general advice I’ve followed. I would definitely Google the heck out of it since you have a batch cooking! Please let me know what you find out and decide to do.

[@Florida_man420]

They say that certain parts carry “higher parts per million of bacterial, viral, and even protein-based threats, such as chronic wasting disease (CWD).” But if the deer had CWD you’re gonna be eating it in every piece regardless

[@ameliachameleon]

Oops. Just reading this comment after I've got the spine in with my broth. Started to worry, and retrieve the spine pieces with tongs, then stopped and googled. I'm in a state that has only had 13 positive cases so far, out of 36k+ samples, and only recently had its first case, and none near my county, so I'm gonna keep it in for this time. But, I'll follow the no spine rule after this one. Thanks for pointing this out. I watched 3 other venison bone broth videos and you are the only one to mention it.

[@lehmannadventures3439]

Have you ever used the antlers for the stock?

[@outdoorindoortexan]

No but I’ve heard it’s possible. Sheds usually get shared with dogs in our house. Let me know if you give it a try and thanks for watching!

[@rosaa.9425]

Well cowboy that was delicious, I have done with chicken n beef but never tried it before doing venison but I give it the world. Thank you and also for the great tip about the salt add it at the end, and to broil the bones 🤔.

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thank you so much, Rosa!! I love hearing the feedback.

[@jolynmiller3194]

I need to know what it tastes like from regular beef. I dont really like beef but I wanna try this bc I love venison.

[@outdoorindoortexan]

It has a great silky rich flavor. Excellent building block to a stew, soup, or just sipping out of a mug. Let me know what you think and thanks so much for watching!

[@Thegrillingdude]

mmmmmm, looks really good Texan! I havent done anything with venison in a while. I love venison broth, good stuff man! Looks good to me, thanks for sharing and I'm with you on the salt!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thanks so much brother! Good hearing from you and hope all is well on your side of the screen.

[@skaflagoon]

Well done! Thank you

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Thanks so much! Enjoy!

[@bandmasterjf]

Arr the bones safe for dogs after cooked

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Dangit I’ve always been informed that cooked bones can be dangerous to dogs because they can splinter and choke them. If you have any sheds, that’s always a big hit in the dog house.

[@jackstegall9833]

How long do you keep it at a rolling boil for?

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Very briefly. I bring it up quickly and once it’s rolling, I adjust the heat until it’s a steady simmer. Great question and thanks for watching!

[@jackstegall9833]

Thanks for the quick response! I’m in the process right now!

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Happy to help, Jack! Hope it turns out great!

[@Amorable]

First time processing a deer for my husband. Tried to make thia broth and there's no flavor in mine. Going to try boiling it off more and concentrate it. Any other suggestions?

[@outdoorindoortexan]

Honestly, that’s a strange result. This is a regular recipe for me and I haven’t had that happen. You may be right about boiling it off further and concentrating the flavor. It may also taste much stronger after sitting in a fridge overnight. Hope you figure it out and let me know if you do!

[@debbiehuegel9642]

How long can I leave broth in fridge because I haven’t had a chance to freeze it or use it yet? It’s a little over a week

[@outdoorindoortexan]

You should be fine if you’re freezing it today, Debbie. Make sure it doesn’t have an off/sour smell, hadn’t changed colors, or grown any mold on top. Obvious signs it’s gone bad.

[@debbiehuegel9642]

Ok but how long can you realistically keep it in frig. I will check it though. Thank you for getting back to me

[@outdoorindoortexan]

@debbiehuegel9642 not much longer than a week. I hate wasting food, especially home made, but I’d pitch it if you’re not sure at the end of the day. Way better than risking it.

[@matthewlong2981]

No need to roast the bones. Throw it all in a big stock pot with onions, garlic, carrots etc. cook on medium over night done.

[@outdoorindoortexan]

I’m sure that’ll work fine. Thanks for weighing in! Have you tried roasting before though? Roasting bones before making stock adds a deeper, richer flavor to the resulting broth by caramelizing the sugars on the bones through the Maillard reaction, essentially creating a more complex and robust taste compared to using raw bones; this process also contributes to a darker color in the stock.

[@hucklebuckchuck7218]

I wish I was able to post pictures in the comment section because I have a picture that was sick and everybody in these comments. I was out in Ridgefield, Washington and I work at a casino on a Indian reservation and somebody literally I don’t know whether they shot it or ran it over but they skinned the deer, took the back straps, the front legs they cut in between the bones and took the meat in between the ribs. Didn’t take the back legs took both front muscles no back muscle, and they left all the good neck meat on it without a head about a half a mile from where I work on an Indian reservation and that shit is just fucked up. They could’ve made a stew they could’ve made stock they could’ve made jerky, but what did they do? They literally left it on the side of the road for the public to see it. I hate people like that, if you do that you’re shitty! Just shameful really

[@outdoorindoortexan]

That’s insane!

[@ameliachameleon]

Well I'm glad you can't post photos! No use in leaving that photo lying around on the side of the comments for the public to see it. That would be shameful 🙃

[@jarretv5438]

Don’t throw away your bones put them in your compost or in your garden, earth will Thankyou.

[@outdoorindoortexan]

I’ve never thought of that. Thanks, Jarret! Will try this year when I start planting my new pepper plants.
