I just may.....

Shoot a deer this season!...Lol..... Thats what Mr B said after good morning today..." You may?"...Yep I found a guy with 5 kids that would gladly take the deer...I asked...and how many can we give him? ....lol

Mr B stopped eating red meat 2 yrs ago...but me thinks he likes the bucks he's been seeing on the way to work...I know he stops and checks the lower field often... He also doesn't mention the time I spend planting things as much and asks me to E-mail him the pics....lol

Do u still eat red meat? What do you do with the deer u shoot?

That's a great solution for a guy who wants to hunt but can't / won't  use the game he takes.

I love deer meat ...beef...But I've never had a bout with gout...lol...he won't even touch alcohol because of it...NA beer only...

First deer of the season I put right into jerky...which is then gone by gun season...I make sausage...love cubed steaks...our daughter takes some ..our son....unless he gets one and our daughter just said this week end she's getting her tags this year...they are very big into smoking meat

The problem comes when the guys at camp hunt...none of them save 1 will take their own deer and have grown to expect us to take it...plus I take care of my FIL deer for him...I cut it for him to make sausage

 I've said they have to tell the guys to donate their deer..but that would mean they'd have to deal with them...it hasn't works ..but this year my foot comes down...you shoot it...you take it ...I don't care where...

 

This is why Mr B holds off pulling the trigger...which is sad...Besides hunting I processed by my self my three and three from camp...They all forget...I'm getting older too...lol

I can relate to above statements very clearly.

If I don't have butchers lined up, I'd be hesitant to pull the trigger too. Butchering a full deer is hard work, let alone multiple. Good job on putting your foot down.

The worst part about it for me is getting rid of the parts; legs, head, rib cage etc. it's getting easier since we got the big blue garbage totes though.

One time years ago I had a bloody stump poke out of a garbage bag. The two garbage men freaked and called the cops, they thought I whacked my wife.............

I dig holes before season with the JD...dogs get the ribs and some cutting scraps...I make suet for the birds...hides are sold and everything else goes into the holes one layer at a time....

[growalot]

When I went to camp...not so much any more except for bow....no ones there then...I'd be the one they'd ask to gut the deer...one guy just can't ..gets ill...but He's a real good guy so I don't mind...and another just made a mess of it...Then went to a party and met his wife...the subject was brought up...ya she says don't let him fool you...he's been gutting his own deer for years...I thought his face would fall off..of course I don't hide my facial expressions well...hhhmmm

OK... i deleted everyone's posts, lets keep threads on track. im tired of seeing threads going in directions the DO NOT need to go.

I can relate to Mr.B and the Gout, Just had it of all places in my left hand, fingers to my  sholder,been 5 year since in my big toe right foot.Eat very little red meat & seafood,Only have a glass of wine with dinner.

Yes butchering a deer is a tedious job, my brother in law and I usualy got a buck and a doe each almost every year. My father in law was a butcher,and took his time getting all good cuts of meat with the 3 of us it would take 1 to 1-1/2 days to have the 4 deer in the freezer.
