This one wasn't the biggest one in the world but it is the biggest one I ever got. He had really broad shoulders so would have gotten big. I was sitting under a tree getting rained on and he just ran out of the clearing in front of me and stopped. pulled up shot. He reared up like a horse and fell over.

That is a great buck. I've always been a meat hunter rather than a rack hunter. Still I'd shoot one with a big rack over a small rack any day. I've show a lot of deer in my days but the biggest rack was a 6 point (eastern count). Any deer taken is a trophy.

I Hunt for meat also Rohn. Some hunters get into the sport for a "Thirty Point Buck" But I would rather have two 2 year old does over a 10 point buck. Last year I killed two does on the first day gun season and was done for the year.

That venison is wonderful meat. We used to live on it most of the year. I lived in a different place then. Now I don't have a many opportunities for hunting as I did then.

Yea I know what you mean.We pretty much try to cut out hamburger.We grind our own and it is wonderful.The store bought meat has co2 in the packaging. Its great to keep it longer in your fridge bu it doesn't taste as good. My grandpa was a meat cutter for 32 years at the local kroger grocery store.So Needless to say we cut all our own.

Yeah deer is good for many different recipes. Deer roast in the crockpot with some sauer kraut is pretty great.
