Whitetail B&C is 170+
“”typical whitetail buck must have antlers that score at least 170 after deductions, known as the "net" score. ””
so he was not even in the ballpark
Same here , we don’t enter any deer or pronghorn for privacy reasons
good access is hard to get now days
I don’t want anyone hounding my honey holes
and a glory paper trail isn’t good for hunting IMO
Funny you say that, my local game processing guy offered me a very nice side gig job to help him keep up during the season.
seems like lots of folks don’t have a clue how properly skin, cape , dry age , cut up , make sausage, ect
I like a 243 , but IMO I would go 6.5 or .270, 308 , recoil is manageable and got room to grow for +/- size game , no break , seen a break create a flinch from noise
We never did when our plant was open , we could freeze and cut into manageable pieces in a day, or even better hang and dry age like a beef ,
insurance would never allow something like self service around saws, health department would have a shit fit !
Yes , wet brined for couple days, then coat with black pepper, slow smoked and electric slicEd
or butter milk soak over night, rinsEd then cooked in a ninja 3-1 slo cooker, served on sourdough or French bread sandwich
we also have place that makes both baloney & hot dogs for us, deer , turkeys...
I really don’t understand to European sizing thing , so hardly ever buy
clothing or footwear, even when I lived in Europe I had to order stuff from the USA.
