Bison as a protein source

[Wiggs]

Around 2016 I started seeing ground bison in chain grocery stores. I remember seeing a Muscular Development article with Tony Freeman saying he ate bison and he said he felt it went well with him because he was Indian and they were known for eating bison. Back then,  I laughed about the Indian part. I don't laugh anymore...Anyway,
I began incorporating bison to the point now, I eat around 3-4lbs of quality bison per week when I'm training.

To me at this point, it's just a cleaner meat.  The nutrient profiles are more favorable as well.

The taste is great and is identical to lean beef in texture.

Bison definitely has my seal of approval.

Tony Little used to sell Bison after he moved on from Gazelle meat.

He used to eat it in small patties, they were called Gazelle Sliders...

It's too expensive but if you have a desire to waste your money go for it.

Bison burgers are great....but too expensive like Nat said.

Haven`t eating it in many years.

This is not expensive for a specialty meat.

Bison and venison are among the leanest meats you can buy. There are venison ranches in upstate NY where I used to live. Bison has recently been introduced to South Carolina so it will become popular soon.

They aren't fattened up with grain like commercial beef.

Bison is tasty and digests well. I eat ground Bison once or twice a week.

His infomercials are the best. He acts coked up the whole time. Bison are basically just wild cows.

I live in Northern N.Y. and the people are Venison crazy....personally,I don`t care for it.

When I tell people up here that I don`t really like it much,their standard reply is always...."It has to be cooked just right" !

I miss grain fed beef. Steaks are better in the US imo. Not as good for you, they say, but marbling is tasty.

It's cheap compared to specialty meats.

But if you are comparing to 90% lean beef at walmart, to consume a pound from wild fork instead might cost you an extra $3 a week.

Deer has to be fresh. Typical hunter shoots a deer. Then they field dress it and bring it to their pick up truck. By the time that deer is in their garage is 6-10 hours later. Then hanging they get an appointment to deer butcher and now it's two days later. The meat is garbage by then.  Also deer meat can have parasites.

Bison meat as a protein source is bull.

I got offered 8 venison legs for $200

Correct.  But only the males.

Male bison are called bulls. They are the largest mammal in North America, and can weigh up to 2,000 pounds and stand 6 feet tall at their hump. Bulls are responsible for protecting the herd and growling. They can also be identified by their thick, vertical horns, blocky heads, and large mops of hair.

The guys I know who are super into cooking meats use it regularly.  I just do a butcher box script (/norambone).

Has some very good deals, especially when they put a tomahawk on sale.
