alot depends on the family size. I have two growing boys, so far this year I have an elk and two deer in the freezer, it WILL be gone by summer.

Also deer run different sizes in different parts of the country, up here in New England 150 lbs is "normal", down south that would be a monster.

In general, ya I agree, hate to see the meat wasted, but if it isn't wasted and the limits allow it, go for it.
