My "buddies" used to give me crap for drawing depredation doe tags.

Fugg 'em.

I'd be eating good, alfalfa fed butterballs, and they'd be eating antler tag soup all winter.

Ha!

60-70 lb does were perfect. Yearlings

Easy to hang, handle, carve, cut and grind and wrap or vac.

Rarely have help processing, family don’t care.

Hell I can’t even find people in my community that wants a deer. I couldn’t even give Large brown rhode island red eggs away.



60-80 pounds is gonna have spots still around here.

120-140 seems to be the sweet spot. The big bucks are pretty much gonna be a LOT of chipotle breakfast sausage, although the instant pot with the right spices does amazing things.

I went after a big old bastard once with the wheelgun in the rain. Probably the "best" hunting I've pulled off.

No doubt the big swampy bastard was the worst tasting.

I've posted it before, but, for reference, I'm a tad over 6 feet

That was the one that made me realize I should put a door in the freezer before I spend a lotta time chasing antlers

That's barely a "medium" dog. Neighbors fat assed German shepherd is over 100.

How much meat do you get off a deer?

Our Kansas Deer are all grain feed…. Anything under 150lbs is a yearling.

The biggest hog I’ve let near kill me dragging in (with a friend) was a~250lbs dressed…. That doe had a ass on it that looked like a mule

I strip the hams, take the backstraps, lop off the shoulders if they aint shot out

Carve a lot of neck and front end meat off for more grindings.



I usually grind up all of what I listed minus the back straps. Sometimes I grind them too.


I don’t trim out between ribs or go down the shins 😃

Not when I can ride behind the house drill one just kicking it out up of a blackberry patch in 30 mins or less. Like dominos pizza.

Clap your hands and a dozen deer come blowing out of thicket.

Unless deer are being illegally fed, they have to make it on acorns, sumac, browse, maybe some forbs and forage weeds.

No ag land or row crop here (Within 10 miles)

They been tearing up my okra and peach tree limbs lately. But now white oaks are raining acorns this week.

We have farms, but the best is the rich people with big back lots on the lake who have huge deer buffets, er, gardens.

Makes the does easy pickins. Gotta actually hunt the bucks though.

Do people not care if they get their own meat back?

Lotta ass-shot deer up here brought in to the butcher during rifle season. 🤮




Sweet set up! I'm jealous. I know the rumor for a couple of the bigger processing places here in Colorado is you don't get your meat back. You bring in 50 pounds, you get 50 pounds back. Always bothered me so I won't use them...

Well, as someone who does a measly 1-6 deer a year, I try to imagine the logistics of keeping dozens or hundreds of deer separate at the butcher shop.

I don't see it really being feasible without a lot of added time/cost due to how many little batches of snack sticks, sausage etc you'd have to do.

Yup, I'll bet that one was a bit, um, gamey? But hunting one like that with a revolver and connecting on it had to have been a blast and sense of accomplishment. I definitely like hunting in that respect.

OTOH, filling the freezer? Pick out the baldy with the widest set of ears, can't hardly stand up because of the fat rolls, wait for her to turn her head sideways, and...




BAM!



Drill that beotch right in the ear!

I just clean the 6’ SS table and a few tubs when I cut and process. Rest of the garage stays the same (messy).

My issue is a place to hang them.

It doesn’t stay that cold here and it’s just a wet, dank, swamp around here 8-9 months out of the year.

I’m gonna run for Governor and change the state flower to black mold😂

First doe comes by is getting popped

Then ill.hold out for something decent. And if I dont score, pop a doe late season.

Two 100# does and im happy.
