On some days, sandwiches seem like the ultimate food. Delicious, filling and convenient … you don’t even have to sit down to enjoy a good sandwich.

Dressed up or down, these venison sandwich ideas by Outdoor Channel hosts are versatile. They can be made simply as they are or you can splurge a little with amazing add-ons such as luxurious condiments, cheeses, slaw, caramelized onions and greens.
