My wife is not a huge fan of deer meat. I usually cut the back straps out and then grind the rest of the deer and we use it in chili, sloppy joes, etc. She won't eat a burger, roast, or steak. But if it is ground and in something with lots of spices she will.

Deer is actually very good dirtygirl.Many people get turned off by having an old stringy buck or one that wasn't prepped right.Just like domestic animals,it needs to be dressed and cleaned and packed up asap.not driven around a day or so on the truck showing it off to buddies.The last time I had caribou it was awful as well.It was shot by my bro in law but they got caught by a warm spell and by the time they had it packed out and brought it back to NS it was staring to ripen.It's generally quite good as well.

You are right ford. It must be prepped properly.
We always hang ours for 4-5 days before we cut it up. Either in a chiller or outside if the temp is below 10 deg.
Especially the old ones.
I am going for a 4 day hunt at the end of March .The only way in or out is by chopper so there is plenty of deer around.
Sika & Reds.Hopefully will full the freezer for the winter.

A Remmington Model 7 in 7mm-08.
Hopefully I have my helmet cam by then so i will take that.
I need to get a better camera as well because mine is only 1.4mb.

Nice gun.It's a shame your taste in bikes isn't so refined
My cameras the same but it's small and I can tuck it away.If I need to take a good pic,I use my daughters.How she ends up with better gear than me is a mystery.
