Montanans how long since your last mule deer

[cgasner1]

That’s not what I was asking. Not saying I do either. Just asking if people eat more wild game or farmed
meat.

We live in wild game probably 95% of the time. If I feed you dinner at the house it’s an animal I harvested. That said I was lined up to buy a beef from a rancher I know had I not killed a moose this year. I love that country he works on and think it would have made it more enjoyable.

Ima eat elk, whitetail and Virtue signal on online forums till next hunting season

Edit: last year and the year before that for mule deer. Year before that too.

I appreciate the feedback. I grew up eating whitetail, cottontail, some occasional birds, and 1/2 a cow a year from a friend. Still try and do the same for my family.

Take it how you want brother. No virtue signaling from me. I could give a chit what people do. More just curious from a hunting forum standpoint if people are fully holding out on animals or just mule deer.

More than likely a steer. Possibly a heifer. Sorry pet peeve of mine.

I grew up in rural Indiana with friends that raised beef cattle, Bos Taurus, hogs, and we even got locally grown popcorn. Kinda miss it. Although none of those families are still producing.

Most aren't, unfortunately.

I have never killed a mule deer. Only a couple whiteys with my truck. But I grew up different than most. I killed a bull elk that gross scored 360 and net 348 otc public when I was 12. Seen the bucks my dad killed and uncles. Plus new what is out there. Shed hunting. Just never seen or had an opportunity to kill a giant muley.

First Tracks did a taste test with different game. Nobody got them all right, I don't believe. I think that means that any species is about the same and that includes Mule Deer. That's been my experience, too.

Never. Not because I don’t want to or because I can’t find them, but because I’ve never seen one like @Raisin Bran deer and I know that’s how they’re supposed to look. Lol
