Giddy up on the elk. Was going to have my dad put in for antlerless draw this year but if this is the case i think i will take him out reg season. Gettin the ol boy into hunting.

K has anyone else heard about the new meat regs coming down as of July 12th? I slaughtered a beef 2 weekends ago and took it in to our local town butcher to cut and wrap as usual and he and his wife were telling my dad and i that as of july 12th they can no longer take meat in to cut from farmers or HUNTERS. If we wanted to slaughter one of our animals it would have to go to stoon to be inspected and slaughtered by other folks and processed. It appears that this shop as well as any meat shop in any small town around here is goin to be tits up. We heard on the news that the new regs were coming down and were going to be stiff but i never expected this. I am not sure if this will actually happen as it will kill alot of business but the gov has done stupider things. I am waitin it out till july 12th and hoping that it doesn't go through, otherwise i am building a big walk in and buying a bunch of meat processing equip.
