Hey, she's filling up, ain't she Atlas?
She sure is baby!!!!!!........can't quit now though.
Do you process them yourself, or take them somewhere?
Used to have a friend of the family do them since I was a kid and he quit about 6 years ago.......we bounced around to a couple guys before the price went from $55 to $70 in one year and then we said screw that. I grabbed a video, a good set of knives and we were off and runnin'
The reason I'm asking is, I shot a yearling doe about a week ago, and I picked up the steaks and everything off her yesterday ... and it was all contained in a paper sack! Same price, and I usually have 60 - 70 pounds of meat left after shooting those big ol' Illinois deer. I made up my mind I wouldn't be wasting $60 to have them churn out just that much meat any more... I figured it would be the same for these button bucks you've taken.
Sounds a little light to me..........just going by what you said.
I WISH we got 70 lbs of meat from a button buck in NY [
