Guys Who Shoot 5 Doe

I guess this question is directed at the NJ unlimited doe zone guys & PA unlimited 5D zone guys...

For those guys out there who shoot five doe a year... what do you do with all of the meat? I shot two deer this year and my freezer is full!

Dont forget PA 2B!

Big family and a coupl've teenage boys is all it takes!

At least in PA you have to purchase a doe tag $9 for residents... $26 for out of staters.... for each doe.

But in NJ you just pay for your license once or permit once... and its unlimited doe whacking!

I believe its $26 for NR's and I know its only $6 for residents.

A friend of mine has 6 deer in his freezer! Between his sons and him they filled all of there tags. BUT, they are a poor family and that meat will keep them fed untill next season! What's wrong wirh that...

Doesn't PA have a "not so enforced" rule: the deer must be consumed by June (or something)?

It takes 4 mid sized deer to feed my family of 5 for a year (plus pheasants, turkey and fish). Anything more than that I give away to either friends or Hunters for the Hungry.

I suggest you get a bigger freezer.

Well thats 6 deer total amoung 1 dad and at least 2 sons... 3 people.. 2 deer each. I am talking about the one guy who shoots 5 doe.

Quess I'm a pig. My wife and I eat 5 deer a year. We buy no store meat. And often have deer for breakfast and deer baloney sanwiches for lunch and casseroles or meat soups for supper everyday. I dont shoot 5 ,but get road kills plus a couple we shoot .We have 3 freezers.We also raise our own veggies which is frozen. 5 deer aint nothing to eat
