The first doe I ever took weighed 110lbs skinned, that was the only animal I ever brought to a butcher...... came back -tenderloins and all they did was cut no fat removal, nothing. They also complained b/c I cut the legs off too short for them to hang. Thats why I got a job at a butchershop, I learned and now do everything for myself. And you can't tell me that the buck in the pic only weighed 120...... just his rack looks like 15lbs. I have seen some real bruisers here, some reaching over 300on the hoof. Honestly that buck in the pic looks bigger than 120, not much of a body shot though.
You guys make jerky?
