deer meat
« on: September 03, 2019, 10:23:30 PM »
Better start finishing off last years deer meat. I'm hitting mine pretty hard. Gonna have to eat it two or three times a week to pull it off at this rate. My season starts in 7 weeks.

I have heard those are some of the best tasting meat there is.

Season opens soon here in Md But I will hold off till mid-late October. Still have a little left but that won't last too long. Have always processed my own and actually enjoy it. 6-7 deer will be plenty for the year so when we hit that we quit. Hopefully my boy shoots over half of them.

With 2 boys at home , we have no problem running out before season. We go through 7 to 9 a year with no waste.

Yup... Just made a bunch of jerky in preparation for Hurricane Dorian.  You need protein when the power goes out.  Thankfully it didn't hit Florida as hard as the predicted.  Thank God... Been eating it while I pick up the yard and removing the window coverings on the house.

Georgia opens the second Saturday in September. This year, that is the 14th, the latest it can open.


I hunt a private quail plantation/agriculture farm a couple of times a season and help them with doe control. We are allowed 12 deer a year here, so I don't run out of deer meat.

We eat lots of deer and I have a couple of relatives that I give deer to each year, so none go to waste.

I've been on their crop depredation permits before, but I do not care for night shooting does in August with the brutal heat in middle Georgia

I'm almost tapped. Found the last piece of backstrap hiding in the freezer last week and grilled it up. Finished off the stew meat this week. I have a few steaks and a roast left. They won't last long. Time to re-stock.

 I got some left but I never get one processed or get any deer til December. I like late muzzleloader season. Speaking of what tastes better or best has anyone seen the Randy Newberg YouTube video where they prepare 4-5 different kinds of meat and have to guess what they are eating and rate them!  Pretty good clip.

Ran out of wild game in August that was 7 deer we supplemented with around 50 ducks and 100 geese. A lot of sausage, ground meat and salami. Fortunately goose opened up here the beginning of September, confit the legs/thighs and grind the rest. Grouse and woodcock don't count, can't shoot enough to stockpile those between the 3 of us that hunt in the house.
