I've got about 20lbs of steaks in my freezer, the're OK but I prefer venison so I plan to sausage the rest.
As for not killing what your not going to eat, don't you guys have the same laws as us? In Ontario its illegal to allow game meat to spoil, I think its a good law to discourage idiots that will shoot an animal only to take a trophy and leave the carcass to rot.
