Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game How to fill a freezer in June

Wife and I went to Nebraska this week, to take a meat bison, and to fill up our empty freezers.
The area is on the fringe of the Sand Hills, and the bison were in both open meadows and heavy tree cover.
We located a small herd with a cow I would take for meat, but they suddenly stampeded into tree cover and we spent several hours trying to relocate them. When we did catch up with them, they had calmed down, and I set up on the Trigger Stix with my Ruger SRH .480 Ruger. A shot to the ear, and it was over.
This was a 3-4 year old cow, and the meat yield was nearly 400 lb. Got home yesterday afternoon, and unloaded the coolers into our freezers. If this animal had weighed another 20 pounds, not all of the meat would have fit into our two freezers! This is going to be some really prime eating, at an overall cost less than buying this meat in a store.
