A legal question....

Any part, even the guts.
I know I'm gonna jack up the spelling but the book uses the native word for guts - Signee - pronounced sig-new..... (spelling???)

Check out this part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code.

Sec. 62.021. SALE OR PURCHASE OF CERTAIN GAME.

Its not illegal to sell farm raised or pen raised deer, elk, or other big game animals. It just requires that the seller has the proper permits to own, breed, raise, and sell the animals, plus proof to show where he obtained them to start with. The buyer has to have them as well.

I have cousins that live near Houston that raise elk on there farm . They dont sell them and wont hunt them they just like having them for their own enjoyment .

A lot of the venison(WT Deer) you see in grocery stores for sale is actually imported from places like New Zealand and the sorts. The USDA can regulate how it enters the country because of that. The regulations for breeders/sellers is there to ensure some accountability in case some of the meat is diseased. That is why it is illegal to sell game animals. Impossible to test, and regulate to ensure health standards.

And prepared food, such as jerky is produced in a place that can be inspected for health code regulations.

We used to sell AXIS deer to the wildgame shop in San Antonio

There are a lot of restaurants that have venison on the menu as well. I always just figured there was a place somewhere that was raising deer specifically for market.
I'm sure that somewhere in the states there is at least one state that will issue a permit to farm raise, slaughter, and sell deer.
