This year I've had the backstraps halved for roast. 20lbs ground into hot breakfast sausage. The sirloin roast off the front of the hams left whole and the rest stew meat.
We will unthaw a lot of it cut it into cubes and pressure can.it.
Have done three so far this year and I'm hunting right now.
I will not shoot a deer though. I'm hoping that freaking bear comes through. I put out 150lbs of apples a bag of cobbef corn and a 1/2 gallon of blueberries.
This 325 WSM Montana is itchin'....

Also the wife is looking for the big racked buck she shot under Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
She seen him chasing a doe this morning but he never presented a shot.
She got up @ 4 this morning drove 48 miles and got in the stand by herself. I was @ work til 8am . She's all killer no filler!
.
I almost feel sorry for that buck.if he stops long enough for her to get the crosshairs on him. Pretty sure she won't misjudge the distance this time.
