How Much Do You Have Left?

[Five Seasons]

I took 3 deer last year, all were small in size. A small NY doe and 2 southern deer. We still had a pretty full upright freezer in the garage. Last night I noticed I had 3 packs of steaks and 2 packs of ground left. With 2 more months to go and no guarantee of an early October harvest I am depressed...

 

On the bright side, I unplugged the freezer and put the remaining in the kitchen... so I'll save some electric I guess.

If it wasn't for the moose I took in 2013, I would be completely out of meat.... This year I will fill my tags... last year I put all my tags for my vacation during MZ season and my mom passed away on the 11th.... Did get out... So, this year I am thinking I won't have the rug pulled out from under me like that so I'll be bringing home a lot more venison...

Only managed one good doe last year. Just had the tenderloins the other night. My making of jerky this year had to be nipped as to conserve some of her. Down to a few packs of ground ,1 steaks and a roast. Sad

Only shot one last year I'm out

I always share my bounty and I don't get that much to begin with. Been out a long time ago.

I still have a bunch. Roasts, a pile of backstraps, some sausage, maybe 10 or 12 lbs of ground. I should be able to make it until I kill something.

[dbHunterNY]

not sure with how much I started with.  took a 3.5 yr old 123 lb doe, a 95 lb 8.5+ year old doe, and one 135lb 5.5 year old doe.  all dressed hanging weights.

 

I put the 5.5 yr old doe which was about 54 lbs venison plus added water and pork fat into the good stuff.  that stuff's almost gone as I burned through all those back strap steaks.  almost all my smoked snack stick dogs with cheese and regular smoked dogs.  went through almost all the sausage. 

 

other two doe I put into ground venison, steaks, roasts, other cuts, and jerky.  jerky has been gone a long time ago last year.  still have a couple grocery bags of ground venison and a bag of steaks, roast, and other cuts.  probably 30 lbs left.

...oh yea another deer went to my parent's they were in FL during much of the season last year.  don't know what they've got left.

[greg54]

Have few steaks and few packs of ground left.

I have just a few packs (5 or6) left from 2 years ago. Grilled some last week…still good.

[G-Man]

Saved a roast and 10 lbs to make jerky for.opening day .

[ny hunter]

I still have enough to easily make it until the 15 of October, approx. 10 weeks.

When I opened this thread I thought the question was referencing vacation time, which I have NONE of.

Last season was odd in that I did not fill any doe tags but we are still In decent shape thanks to a road kill button buck and a nice 2.5 year old 8-point archery kill that a friend gave us. I gave some of those and part of my own 1.5 year archery buck and 4.5 year, 200 + lb gun buck to a friend who got skunked last season. We still have a freezer shelf and a half full which should take us to archery season at least. IT has been many years since we needed to buy any beef.

I should have just about enough to get me through to gun season...The Mermaid and I only eat about two deer a year now since we have become elderly...

[chiefbkt]

We still have a decent amount of venison left.  I shot 7 deer last year with the smallest one being 95 lbs and biggest 175 lbs.  So our freezer was pretty full.  Add in the fact that I also raise sheep and put 2 of them in the freezer.

Holy crap don't tell Pygmy.......................................................

I don't think you have ever mentioned before.

I got to selective last year and wasn't able to make it out for muzzle loader season so I never pulled the trigger or bow release...... I saved a few packs for just that reason but I was out a long time ago.....I learned my lesson the hard way......Now its meat hunting first and then I'll be selective. This year I hope to put a bunch in the freezer to avoid this problem.
