The elk hunt netted each of us around 80 pounds of meat. That and all the deer meat I already have in the freezer means I do not need any more meat. I have enough for my family and to share with the people I usually give meat. Hunting season is over!
And that's a good thing because by this time of year the bucks are starting to taste gamy. By November my family finds them un edible. I've always found that hunting deer in November is a waste of deer, and am always surprised by the number of people who do it. Then again many people just expect that deer meat is 'supposed' to be gamy. These are the same people who are shocked when I serve them my early season deer. 'This is deer meat? It tastes like beef', I hear in disbelief.
Thank you deer and elk to for the meat that you have provided my family. Patrick
80 lbs? Thats the best haul yet! Whoohoo!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very impressive and neatly packaged meat supply. You certainly enjoy your hunting and the results can be enjoyed for quite some time. I applaud your style of hunting which means no waste as I assume the bears and other carnivores get to cleanup the scraps.
