A ton? That's a big deer.
Didn't I read you take yours in to be butchered? And you still got back that much? Must be the only honest butcher around or that deer was even bigger.
Yea, my new butcher is very honest. I actually get backstraps and inner tenderloins back now!
He was big, very big. Still eating him, big.
I butcher my own, that's just one of the reasons. I personally prefer smaller deer to butcher, just easier. Big deer are just a lot of work all at once. That thought believe it or not is in the back of my mind when sizing a deer up.
I'm still feeding our seven mouths with last years harvest. We don't buy any beef and to tell the truth I really don't care for the taste of it anymore. Seems like it has a chemical after taste to it. Kind of like when I'm working on a vehicle and I get some fluid in my mouth accidentally. Last piece I had was at some place in some Podunk town where I was hunting. Worst piece of grizzle I've had.
Big buck out of Pa? Sounds like a tall tale to me.
