Since I posted earlier I have killed a couple more.

Since I quit killing for this year, I have been doing an inventory here in the neighborhood. If I kill four again next year, I still need the cars to chip in and kill another 6-10 deer just to stay even. Right now I am not up for doing another four again next year. I probably will be by next fall though. It is looking like an 8 foot garden fence is going to be ever more appealing as an alternative to shooting and eating them. The neighbors claim their kids like venison, but they still haven't eaten all of one I provided all butchered and vacuum packed last year. The wife and I can happily eat two per year. Add another for the son and that's about as many as I want to kill and process in a year with decent weather
