The worst experience I had with deer was my first deer ever. I had it done at a quality butcher. Got the meat, went toy grandpa's house with much excitement to eat. I made cheeseburgers and could hardly stomach it... This was one of maybe 2 deer I had processed at a butcher. I then began butchering my own. I have never had an issue since. The last 3 years, I have been lucky enough to shoot mature bucks that were rutted up. I can't tell a difference.
I fully blame the taste on the way it was processed. Right or wrong, this is my belief. I do all my own and have never had that taste again....
Ha, me too. Takes one to know one maybe? LolThat deer looks like Refrigerator Perry...can't stop looking at the pic rotflmao
That's because most deer processors simply debone and grind. They don't spend the time trimming fat, silver skin, or ligaments. I always tell people to tell their processor they want 98% lean and watch them laugh.
I butcher my own also and have converted many deer meat haters.
The huge body and tiny rack. This buck is 5+ years old...lol
I'd kill it all day long.
Then I would debone it, trim all the fat, tendons, silver skin... and eat it.
I knew exactly what JD meant cuz I've learned how his sarcasm and demented mind works after several years of observations!
That is a PIG!!!! He will bust off many beautiful long points from higher scoring deer for a piece of ass this year!!!
........and TINY would be a perfect name for this deer! Wouldn't it JD?
I'm afraid that's exactly what's going to happen Ric. I've been waiting on a certain buck to show up and I'm worried this buck will run him out...lol
Offer stands. I will kill him for you. I've been known to use buck tags on does. Why not a "Tiny" rack? lol
