How about game sausage? Deer are bag of rocks stupid, though harmless.
But at least they get to live a natural life before walking round a corner into an rpg on the way back from the betting shop.
I’m not a hunter myself, but plenty of venison on the menu in my childhood in rural Arkansas. It’s definitely inferior to good beef. But, if you treat it like a tough, lean cut of cow, it’s fine. Usually this means adding fat, slow cooking, or both. I never found the taste bad, but chewy and ropy is definitely the default texture unless you work hard to make it more palatable.
When I cook at home, I’m vegan (beans, quinoa, cheese substitute, mostly), but when I go out I can certainly appreciate all meats and dairies.

Deer are “overabundant” in my area. Guy I knew hunted them. One day he brings some deer meat to work for everyone to try.
It’s gross, it’s chewy, ropy, and tastes like juniper. I guess it’s free, but no thanks…
