I'm highly skeptical of the actual sandwiches, nervous about the farm raised venison as a concept, but applaud Arby's for recognizing us hunters as a neglected market worthy of pursuing.

The single location in Tennessee has to be among the absolute worst for hunter density or % of customers identifying as hunters. It's as DOWNTOWN as you can get in Nashville... my guess here is they are really targeting the non-hunting (majority) "organic" yuppies...

Hope it doesn't taste like the McRib. Those things should be banned by the FDA.

I would like to see how these deer are raised....or on second thought, maybe I wouldn't...

Too far of a drive for my nearest location, also something about fast food and venison not sitting right with me. The best food is almost always the stuff I cook at home anyway.

Venison as fast food should be about how fast they run, not how fast it can be ordered and eaten1

Brilliant move on Arbys part... However I think they should of launched it at every Arbys.

looks like this is the only venison Ill be eating this year. My hunting area has been flooded and the alternate places I have to hunt (public) have a lot of pressure. I havent seen any deer- think they have gone nocturnal.. :(

With an attitude like that your probably right... Pick your head up, count your blessings, and keep at it. It only takes one hunt for everything to turn around.

The more I think about it, the more I think all hunters should oppose venison being served in a fast food or any restaurant because of the spreading of CWD from pen raised deer to wild deer. Just my never to be humble opinion. I am from the state that has more deer propagating operations than any other state in the country And I have seen first hand how apathetic our Dept of Ag is to CWD cases and violations of those running the breeding operations..

This vensison is probably Red Deer imported from New Zealand

Arby's venison sandwich features a thick-cut venison steak and crispy onions with a berry sauce on a toasted roll, according to the company.

The venison sandwich is "100% deer meat," with premium cut top and bottom round steaks from the hind quarter of the deer, according to Rob Lynch, Arby’s Brand President & Chief Marketing Officer.

Lynch said the company sources free-range farmed deer that feed on fresh grass, and he is confident that " deer hunters are going to love this sandwich."
