Why did primitive man eat deer meat?

Why not?

To survive. And secondly because it's tasty.

They were a lot safer to get than the saber-toothed tiger.

And have  you ever been stepped on by a woolly mammoth (These are about ten feet at the shoulder?)

(The estimated weight of the mammoth was between 4 and 6 tons.)And in the days of T. rex, all the fast food got eaten because he was the fastest SOB* in the valley. Didn't Fred always stop for a BambiBurger and Fries after getting off work at the quarry?

Cindy, Only a pun...Because primitive man was hungry? In Native American Culture, the only holy beast was the buffalo. Without the buffalo the plains Indians starved. But no where in my research of the plains Indians did I find anything specific on the eating of deer meat. Sorry I can't be more helpful, but that is the way it was. Michael Joel Held

Because primitive man would eat anything that was edible. It's called survival. And despite any moronic claims by begetarians, humans are meat eaters.

I like venison. It's delicious.
