Meat Hunting. What makes a shooter?
I have a chest freezer that is crying out to be filled with meat. Virginia Whitetails have been getting better the last few years with some respectable bucks taken. But there are tons of deer in my area and most of them are small. We have an urban archery season this year and I know it will offer me many opportunities to put meat on the ground. Dressed weight of 80 lbs is a decent doe here.
I usually get 45-50 lbs of meat off a deer. I don't eat the ribs but eat just about everything else.
How do you guys decide what deer to shoot? give an average size for your area also.
Thanks
