NEW, not to beat a dead horse (or dead deer in this case) here is my original repsonse to this thread
So we are not in disagreement with your key point.

However, as the saying goes "Two wrongs don't make a right" and for you to try and defend someone else's actions when they basically state that "sometimes they don'tutilize the "premium piece of the carcass", not because it might be ruined or tainted for some reason due to recovery or shot placement,but because it isn't worththe hassle forsomething equivalent to the size of two bananas, I find....well.......unbelievable.

Some things are indefensible, IMO and this is one of them.

I never did quite fully undertstand all of that "sac rider" stuff Justin and others referenced a while back, how about you?

we get them off every deer.you don't have to gut a deer them....tony

My take is if someone has Sooo dang much meat from SOOoo dang many deer that they shoot each year that they choose to skip taking the tenderloin's and the rest of the eadible meat, then these people should quit shooting so many deer and taking all the meat from a few deer, and let the rest live!! The scavengers of the earth really don't NEED your help, they'll survive just fine!!

It's not that I am trying to defend anything(I don't really see anything that needs to be defended)or ride sac(nice try), I simply don't care if someone doesn't want the inner loin or not and can't understand or relate tosome these hyper-sensitive threads(not just this one).

I guess that sounds badand maybeit's just me. My buddy killed a small doe last week I field dressed it for him and yes I removed the chicken tender sizedinner loinsfor him,had it beenmy deer I probably would not have field dressed it. I would have taken the hams, shoulders, neck,and backstraps and been done with it. The rest is dog food. A big deer, I'll get those inners.

I'm an insensitive jerk in thatsometimes I don't necessarily view deer the way many on here do and I think it has a lot to withmy region and the amount of deer we kill every season and seeing too manypeople that actually do waste meat(unfortunately). I also believe there are many on this site thattruth be told don't get all the meat they could or should. Sowhen I hear someone didn't get the inner loins off their deer it doesn't really bother me especiallywhen the sameindividual did in factprocess and donate hundreds of pounds of venison to people who needed it.

I undertand your points and I don'tthink you're wrong per se, I guess I just havea different perspective.

I am baffled that there are actually people who do not take the tenderloins, like many have said it is by far the best two pieces of meat on the animal. Also like many have already said, they usually don't last more then a day at my house, I ate some fresh tenderloins sunday night!

I shoot deer. I skin deer to the best of my ability. I get as much meat off the deer as my butchering skills allow.

TEmbry:

You have a vivid imagination, young man. Go back and show me where it says I didn't process the meat from this deer. Thanks.

I donated probably 6-7 deer, last season alone, to a family of FIFTEEN. I don't think they worried too much about whether or not the inner TL's were in there or not. I've given them 3 so far this season.....and yeah....only two of them had the inner TL's......and one of them didn't include the backstraps (they went to the person who killed the deer).

Bunch of critters in our woods....and a few my father in law is targeting. They eat just fine on what we don't take.

"Wasteful"? How is anything "wasted"? What's your take on killing a small deer-like animal and using it for bait....like the hunters in Africa do? Don't answer that. I don't care.

GMMAT... you'd think that someone who kills as many deer as you do would have it all down to a right fine system by now. I don't gut my deer either... I hang them whole and gut them vertically over a bucket..... everything is right there.... hey look... heart... awesome... liver... I'm thinkin' finger foods. Neck meat... where is my crock pot? We've got a gambrel hooked up to an engine block hoist... flourescent lights... even a portable heater for the late season.

Your post about not using the shoulder meat on a "shoulder shot" deer is ludicrious. That is, unless you are shooting them through the shoulder with a high powered rifle, and even then there are plenty of trimmings that can be converted into hamburger or jerky or cut chunks for stews. I suppose we just come from two different backgrounds here, I've grown up hunting, my entire family is hunters, trappers, anglers, outdoorsmen, biologists (just one actually), conservationists... and I just wasn't raised that way. Sorry if my first post cut you a little deep... but maybe you needed it. Go ahead and "use the meat as you see fit," the game warden might well see it as wanton waste. You aren't hunting out west where you have to worry about packing out five extra pounds or being caught by a snowstorm and snow bound for a week in the back country. You are in sight of a house, road or your vehical in half the hunts in which you write of.... come on now!

If you are willing to go to all the trouble of all the scouting, all the homework... all the practice... all the theory... all the BS posts you make on here... you'd think you'd be willing to spend five damn minutes so that a little less of the animal that YOU killed was left for the buzzards?

To each his own... I don't lose sleep at night either. Have a safe hunting season, and please continue to be a positive contributor and ambassador of the sport we have all enjoyed for so long and hold so dear.

Actually....I don't remember your first post. It cut THAT deep....lol

I can see a house in one spot I hunt.....after leaf drop. I never see a road....and I don't drive to 90% of my hunts. On those I couldn't see my vehicle.

So your attempt to trivialize my hunting is futile. You're full of ****.

Ahhh... the ethics police!Howdy Sargent! Like I said.....I've NOT gathered the inner TL's on a few deer....for various reasons. HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT IS NO CONCERN OF MINE. I don't care...lol

WAR! Ungh! Good God y'all...What it is we fighting for....absolutely nothing!!!
