Deer Season Results

I'm confused, all you hunters don't know how to butcher your kills???

LOL, I've got a detached shop where the deeds go down (sober or not) & not in the house.

We strung Linda's deer up on the cherry picker in the shop. Stuffed frozen milk jugs in the carcass and started skinning. Notice I said "we". Tomorrow we will butcher it up and vacuum pack it. Then the left over scraps will go to Shy-Ann Meats in OC for some pepperoni and summer sausage. With all of the time and effort we put into getting one of these critters, I hate to waste any of it.

I will call em tomorrow if I remember. Will make contact with top choice too.

Not sure how it is legal, or how to tell if you do get it back, but I know it can be an issue. Not sure what legal regs are involved with game processing.

I really enjoyed curing/butchering and processing my deer 2 years ago, but not enough room for an elk.

The deer I bring home feed on wheat and alfalfa fields in eastern Oregon. They have a really mild and sweet flavor. If I got a gamey, sagebrush tasting pile of meat back I'd be really suspicious.

Sorry I didn't come back to this thread. That's awesome to have your significant other to help after the trigger was pulled, that's what it's all about.
