We definitely eat what we kill Nothing goes to waste. A nice sized deer can keep the freezer full of fresh, delicious venison meat for upwards of a year. What we can't cut steaks from we make hamburger out of and venison sausage from leftovers.
And if you do a simple cost-factor analysis ($15 for a resident firearm deer / 20-30 lbs of fresh meat) the value can't be beat.
On a very practical level it's incredibly economical to eat the meat you kill. On a personal level it's rewarding to be a somewhat decent marksman. Killing in and of itself is not all it's made out to be but the reality is deer population does need to be kept in control (otherwise they tend to unbalance ecosystems). It also provides good bonding with close family up at Deer camp.
- Good! I'm glad :)maquito
- Damn, a year?CygnusZero4
- It lasts quite a long time... you don't want to let it sit for too long though lest it start to taste like freezer. I also give some of it away.d_rek
