    That’s a really a good point. I hadn’t eaten venison in a good while as well, but had been on the look out for a decent cut of flank to make jerky out of.

    This is going to sound counter intuitive to most… but, I got that meat from a guy named Andy who lives in a trailer park at the end of my dad’s road.

    Grew up knowing Andy & trusting that what he shared was safe to eat. He actually gave me 3.5 lbs of Wildebeest for jerky a few months back and it turned out great!.

    I was not aware that CJD had actually been contracted by humans via venison, but will likely avoid it now. Prions are indeed scary as hell.

      I think I’m probably being overly precautious, and I love and prefer wild game, so all respect to the cook here! I would never turn down a meal like that!

      Also I don’t know, but I don’t think wildebeest carries CWD.

      And ignore the haters, that looks like a good meal you made your pa, especially given the specific cooking temperature requests. Sous vide was a wise choice. I bet it was delicious and your dad loved it.
