It was a busy hunting year for us. I used all five of my whitetail tags this year, and the wife got four deer. This only happens every other year or so. We must have eaten a lot of deer meat in 2014, the freezer was empty.
Any others out there fill their freezer?

I've never tagged out, about 2 a year is all we consume and that's with giving away some. Last 3 years Mrs. B has been doing all the shooting.

I used all of mine this year. Lost everything we had when a freezer went out at the end of last year.

I shot 6 wt a mule deer and a turkey

Gave about all of it away, ate the turkey that day though.

I have some dried sausage some hamburger and some pan sausage

I just don't like to eat deer that much save for in sausage and backstrap would much rather eat elk, axis and duck/quail/dove


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Never used all of mine, partly due to never being on a lease that could sustaine that but mostly due to 3 deer seem to last us most if not all year until the following season.

I love to hunt, but the work part starts with killing any more than 2 a year.

we can generally store and eat 3 per year. After that, I'm giving it away.

Gotta love a little variety. Creekrunner brought some axis meat to the elk hunt, and it was great. I can't wait to fill a freezer with that.

No but only because I let a youth take one of my allotment.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.
