How many whitetail deer does your household consume every year? It doesn't matter if you live alone or have 10 kids and your in-laws living with you. Don't include the deer that you share with those outside of your house or that you give to Hunters For The Hungry, etc. Just the deer that are consumed under your roof.
Thanks, RS

Wife and I used to eat 4 or 5. Now with two kids, we don't get as many.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

One a year usually. If I kill a second deer, I usually donate to Hunters for the Hungry.
Why do I have to press 1, for English?

Two is good, three is better. My wife and I love it. I cook it lots of different ways.
Fall seven times, stand up eight.

1 usually, and one is usually too much. I mainly kill for wall decoration.
Matter of fact just today, I sent 2 sections of backstrap off to the Lab (s)
Had to make room for 2 bologna chubs and 40 more beef hamburger patties for holiday cookouts
Old Dirty Bastard will take a leak right out in the skreet and grind backstrap up for jerky.

Ideally, as many as I legally can. But usually 1 or 2 is enough to take up the allotted storage space. It all gets eaten

really depends on the size of the deer. This past year I only put four in the freezer and ran out of meat about a month ago, except a little burger and sausage left.

3-4 for the wife and I. We shoot it, gut it, skin it, bone it out and do all the grinding. We generally go thru 80 pounds of burger a year. Some we take to cook outs. Always a pleasure listening to someone saying they don’t like venison as they chomp down on a venison burger.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Everyone in these parts prefers Bar S hotdogs and Bud Ice.
No one wants deer. I only have 1 gent that will take a deer and I have to almost twist his arm. They want me to skin it for them and hang it 3-4 days in my cooler and then bring it to them. Of they want a couple days notice and such.
. I started giving them to the food bank program.

Yessir Always satisfying serving someone a dish of properly cared for and prepared game. Funny to hear someone cussing out venison or rabbit, squirrel, etc. while they gobble one bite after another.

Used to do 5 or 6 when the kids were home, plus caribou, elk, moose or mule deer every couple of years. Now two deer will do it, unless I hunt other, bigger game. Then I keep that and give the deer away.
