Venison Processing Tips, Fried Backstrap & Deer Burgers | Gun Talk Hunt

November 7, 2026 · 53 min

Show notes

Dustin Strickland of Strick’s Specialty Meats has been processing deer since 2013 and competing in national meat championships — and he’s in studio cooking fried tenderized backstrap, venison burgers, and a Cubano sausage that started as a TikTok experiment.

He also breaks down the biggest mistakes hunters make from field to freezer — why your cooler is probably working against you, why deer shouldn’t swim, and what actually happens to your yield when the meat arrives in rough shape.

This Gun Talk Hunt is brought to you by Dead Air Silencers, Savage Arms, Range Ready Studios, Smith & Wesson, Shooting Sports Life, and ZEISS.
