The other day I took a Sunday afternoon drive through the country, and passed a place with a huge sign that said 사슴농원, complete with a restaurant nearby. I was wondering if anyone has sampled 사슴고기, and if not, perhaps we can all meet here in Cheonan, get in my car, and give it a crack. PM me if interested.

I've had it back home.

It's just venison. Like all meat it tastes good, but it's a little dry.

It'd be expensive here, wouldn't it? Deer is too gamey--although my friends make a mean deer sausage.

That's weird. Historically, I didn't think Koreans ate deer meat, considering it holy because it lived on the mountains and was protected by the mountain god. Anyway, that's what my friend told me, and her husband raises deer professionally-- not for meat, but for their antlers which are used in traditional medicine.

Deer, like white tail and mule deer, are not native to Korea. If they are pen raised, I imagine the venison isn't as gamey as wild.

Korean wild deer are called "ko ryang ni" (sp.?), which are smaller than western ones. I've seen them in the mountains of north-east Seoul, though they are very scarce.

I love deer sausage or deer steak. Had some every season back in Canada.

Koreans love the horns.

It's supposed to be great medicine.

I like deer meat and sausage. But I reckon eating it in korea would taste just like every other thing that they drown in gochu jang.
