Venison is a type of meat that has been hunted by humans for thousands of years. It’s lean, red meat comparable to beef and lamb. In Native American culture, the deer was considered sacred because it provided food, clothing, and shelter to many people. Today Venison can be purchased from any grocery store or hunting supply shop in the United States. The price varies depending on where you buy it from but typically ranges from $8-$10 per pound at retail prices which is less expensive than most other types of protein available today.
