Around the Campfire / Re: What Did You Do Today?
« Last post by Eric Krewson on Today at 10:53:07 am »Today is the last day of deer season, it is going to be 70 degrees after weeks of freezing temps. I am done, I am pulling trial cams, washing a mountain of hunting clothes and putting up all my gear until next year, I have so much "stuff" this is usually a two day job.
I quartered my deer and took it to a processor to be made into burger, I could do it but I am giving most of this deer to a friend who doesn't have any. I am meticulous about cutting up my own deer but won't put that kind of effort into one that I am giving away. When I give away A deer I have it processed first, a cooler deer isn't that expensive to have cut up and makes a much better gift vacuum sealed and ready for the freezer.
Someone who isn't deer hunter doesn't know what to do with a whole deer. I gave a whole skinned deer to a friend at work once, he left it in a cooler so long that it spoiled, never again.
I have had good years where I am covered up with deer and other years like this year where I have a hard time killing anything with my selfbow in earlier years and lately with my flintlock. I have a group of friends who have given me hundreds of pounds of deer meat over the last 40 years when I came up short, some were whole deer, some was processed and packaged, they never charged me a penny for the packaged deer.
I know a partially disabled guy who loves deer meat but isn't a deer hunter, I need about 10# of burger from my latest deer, I am going to take him the rest packaged and ready to go. This is my way of paying it forward for all of the deer meat that people have given to me in the past.
