I donated 2 whitetail does to Hunters Helping the Hungry this year. They only take whole deer, you can't even keep the tenderloin, and they grind it all to feed to folks at the shelters.
Antlers size depends on age, nutrition, and genetics, so you need a balance of all three to get big antlers. The whitetails where I hunt in Nebraska have plenty of quality food and they are not hunted particularly hard, but you seldom see a buck with antlers that would measure over 150 B&C during the November firearms season. The bow hunters get more of the big boys before the firearms hunters have a chance at them. There are exceptions, the most recent of note being in 2010 when Kevin Petrzilka tagged a whitetail buck that scored 204 4/8".

Very Nice!
Do you quickly sear your roasts, then finish them in the oven?
I cook my deer roasts as I would cook a rack of lamb. Internal temp 125F
