That's a great fall, congrats! Those eats will come in handy. I spent quite a bit traveling to hunt this year. My wife didn't mind as much when she saw the current price of burger at the store!
Yep, 550-600 pound feeder calves are bringing $2.90 /pound. That is about $1500 per calf. Ground burger is $3/pound
My 22 cubic foot freezer is 1/2 full of elk meat. Not bad for an old guy that Big Sh&%% said I should not even be hunting and couldn't sneak up on a glass of water.
