How many deer taken in one year by a person is too many?? All things being equal, should someone kill 25- 30 deer a year?? Is it necessary? I know two guys that killed this amount last year. One killed 28 the other 31. All gun kills. "Do you need to kill that many??" I asked, they said, "sure do, I ain't out there to waste my time" I just don'tsee the need, no way are they eating that much.
Hows it going Vab? What ticks me off to no end is that some (
not all) of these hunters that kill tons of deer in a year and up throwing out 1/2 half of it away the following year or the next because its all freezer burned! Man that bugs me! They could of just as well let someone else shoot that/them deer instead of having it go to waste or not shot them at all! I know this happens allot because people are always asking me if I want there freezer burned deer for bear baiting and I tell them no because its not legal to use wild game for baiting bear in Minnesota. One should not shoot what they cannot eat, this happens allot. There's so much venison that goes to waste you wouldn't believe it, allot of the butcher shops I get bear bait from have storage rooms for people who don't have enough freezer space. Most of the butcher shops tell me they throw most of it away because it gets freezer burned from not getting eaten. Not everyone waste there deer but Its more then you think. The butcher shops around here no longer store deer or any kind of meat for anyone because most doesn't get eaten and when it does the people come back to the butcher and complain there's something wrong with there meat, i wonder why, freezer burned food don't taste very good!
