Deer milk

Last week I shot a doe and noticed it was holding milk when field dressing it. So I poked a small hole and had a sip of it. Wasn't bad! Have any of you guys ever tried deer milk?

No, but I tried milk from a two legged doe once and it was nasty!

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Ever heard of pasteurization?

I’d give it a shot....


She was rotten....you should try again from a better source....

Just spit up on my keyboard..........

I have no words. I`m out.

You should have checked the diet. Was probably eating acorns...

No sense of adventure....

I can’t believe anyone would do this or admit to it.

Lol, My thought too...

Took a 4 legged doe opening weekend with a little milk dribble but I must admit it did not cross my mind to try it. 🤔

Never thought to try it. I wouldn’t be opposed to it.

For those that are braver than me, is it anything like goat milk? I was raised on goat milk. Not sure that one is any weirder than the other.

People drink rain deer milk and camel milk....

Deer milk has to be better than soy milk...

I’d probably pass

I'm just hoping it was milk, considering the bucks are in full on rut.

Ok, speechless...

TMI but doesn't surprise me!! Raw milk is amazing tasting though. From cows!!

Why not? Milk from many mammals is widely marketed. You might start a trend. If it was in a carton at Walmart, all of us would try it.

Good grief, this is a joke, right. Shoot a deer, and then suckle it? What's next, the dog? lol

I just wonder how adventurous the OP was with that defenseless doe

I think the oddest part isn’t so much trying a does milk, as much as trying a dead does milk. I mean, the dead part makes a difference here

Depends on how long she was dead....well before rigor set in I hope....

I grew up on raw cows milk, could not stand the stuff, my mom made me drink it, would wait till finished my meal, "Kenny drink your milk", I would drink as much as I could, hold the rest in my mouth and hurried leave the table and make for the back door and spit.

and then the OP said....

Tell me the truth, did you ever think you'd be providing a bit of "devils advocate" for someone drinking a dead does milk?

Is this the hunting forum or the big queasy men's forum? We've been living on raw milk for over 20,000 years and all of a sudden in the last 50-60 years we've forgotten who we are? We ate raw meat, raw veggies, raw bug's, drank water from any source we could find. Any time raw milk in any form could be had it was taken, native Americans were making cheese thousands of years ago. ""Weren't no cows or horses back then". Mouse milk I hear is the best but damn it's expensive.

Speaking of......when do does ween fawns off their milk?

Right before they ween rolyat.nosaj off of it.

I'll have to remember to take a straw with me next time out.

True

Only Moose milk for me........................also, skip the Polar Bear milk, has a toxic taste to it!!!

I usually have a bowl of grape nuts handy for such occasions.

TMMF

I DON'T BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE TOLD ALL THAT!

I could see it being good. I’ve ate and drank a lot of stuff that most wouldn’t. For some reason people look at certain animals as off limits, even though it’s still meat, or milk in this instance. I think the only food I draw the line at is balut

Balut........I'm with you on that one. But I'll try most anything that's Fried. As any true Texan would.
Dead deer milk....I think I will have to pass on that one.....But I would also pass on dead cow milk.

Gonna be kind of hard to get it live on the hoof or off the teet. I’m guessing she wasn’t dead long enough for it to matter. Heck, as soon as milk exit any animals body it starts to spoil, alive or dead

Nobody likes a spitter

I tried but it kept kickin

I find nothing wrong with this. I bet most of youins don't eat the hear of the deer either.

About the only real possibility for that would be from camelid (llamas, alpacas, vicunas in South America) milking in South America and there are only historic accounts (after western contact) of cheese making there. I know of no archaeological evidence of cheese making in the Americas prior to European contact and entry of domesticated livestock. The world's oldest archaeologically discovered cheese dates back 3300 years to Egypt.

I spent 25 years in the field of zooarchaeology here in North America. I can't recall cheese or evidence of cheese being a topic of consideration. Maybe you know something I don't know, but prior to European contact, I have never heard of New World cheeses being present or identified from thousands of years ago.

Who wants to milk a bison? Probably won't end well. I think deer jump too high, run too fast.

Here, hold my beer, and watch this!

We are in the Rutt
That was buck juice not doe milk
Sorry to inform you

I love this thread....

Right. I ain't never eat deer ear.
This thread is just wrong.

You know if you chase em' around for a while before you shoot you can get butter, that's what the Indians did for breakfast for thousands of years for their toast.

Balut is actually pretty dang good. Just don't look at it. I'd try deer milk, no biggie.

This hole thread is getting sick.

I would probably try it just to say I did. I would also probably try Balut, I definitely would after a few drinks.

Um, nope and nope.

I could never, not even deep-fried.

When I stayed in the Philippines, the group of friends I made always new where to find good balut. I had to have had a few redhorse beers first. I guess deer, goat, and sheep milk can't be all bad.

I think you can pick it up at HEB

That would be awesome to get for your tree-hugging liberal relatives for their cereal when y'all are together for the holidays....it should be epic!

Make em' a little eggnog for the holidays.

You mispelled hoe.

She was my wife, and was breastfeeding my first born Son.

But you're right.....

Omg lol

Three pages and some of you guys are still nursing!!!.......................on a dead deer!!!

Bump....

I'll go with Tommy Boy , and take your word for it....I can get a hell of a good look at a T-Bone steak by sticking my head up a bull's [censored], but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

Nope... not a chance!
