I am really new to this, and I thoroughly enjoyed my first kill on Monday and I love being out in the woods, but now I trying to figure out the same thing.

I only have a family of 3, and I am the only really big meat eater of the group, so 1, maybe 1 1/2 deer should keep me in meat for the year. Seeing that my freezer capacity at present is only about 3/4 of a deer, that adds to my challenges. Additionally, wow, does it take a long time to butcher a deer...atleast for a first timer with no experience.

I guess I could see if any neighbors would be interested in some free venison...but if I bag another one I am have some significant logisitcs issues.

So far I have not used any tags (well, technically I did)(2 bow, 1 rifle, 1 muzzle loader, 1 anterless) since I took my homely buck on my own property.
