Venison....

90% of the animals we take are 15-20 miles away from the nearest agricultural ground, and our deer do not migrate like Muleys. There is no agriculture in the valley where I shot my elk, except for the odd personal garden.

Interesting arguement, but it gets a fail in my book. An animal that is not confined to any boundaries whatsoever and has a true free choice of food lives a much better life than an animal that only gets fed what its master wants it to eat, and only has access to the boundaries their master sets. Sorry, man raised organic food is oversold, and overpriced, in my opinion. (Not that I'm not for people making a buck on it.)

Amen Dogfish.

Seeing "organic" on a label helps alot of people make decisions on a product.....but in my opinion being informed, and understanding organic specifics goes alot further then just buying something because it is in brown paper, and says organic on it.

All I have to say is it All-Natural around here!

I love to investigate the throat and stomach to see what my deer have been into. My first deer during crop damage was full of my Uncles organic beans and field grass. The second one I took the tuesday before Thanksgiving was loaded with acorns!

Anyway you look at it, ITS ALL GOOD BABY

Man has always selected a plant, animal, or bird that suited his needs the best by domesticating them from time immemorial, therefore modified them from it's wild original state. Some of these selected modifications have to totally rely on mans' care and can not survive on it's own in the wild. Still, they are organic and all natural. GMOs have a gene replaced or spliced from another living plant or animal, but that gene still comes from a living plant, animal, or bird existing in nature, thus creating a new mutation. Or it's own gene modified by radiation or chemical means the same way that occurs in nature's mutations from radiation from the Sun or the chemical soup of the oceans, lakes, steams, and soils, only faster. Like the mutations that have occured over millions of years from a single celled organism to a multicelled human. Can anyone show me any plant, animal, or bird that is NOT "organic" or " all natural" ?

If the deer you shoot eats on the farmers fields who sprays his corn or soybeans its not really all organic. Simple as that. Its much healthier than the alternative (beef) but its not "purely organic" anymore.

Wow, I wasn't trying to stir this pot...sorry for my simple comment.

Bassroo, I think what others, and myself are saying is mainly with ag crops, and cattle, when you introduce a synthetic pesticide, or anti-biotics the end result be it crop or meat is no longer organic.

If you believe that all living things are organic by nature (with what ever influence from man), well we will just have differing opinions.

I think your statement although difficult to understand at first glance makes sense however, this is a topic that could be discussed for a long time with No right answer. Just one's interpretation of the topic.
