Bucks are too tough, I prefer some nice tender fawn meat.

Nice buck! :aok The biggest you see around here run about 175 dressed out.
-
Nice Buck, the average around here dress out at less than 100, but they got big old racks.
-
Nice. But since I didn't get drawn for anything this year, I have to hate you.
So sorry.

smoke it on a smoker, then make 1/3 pot of BBQ sauce.
slice thin or thick slices, crumble up in pot. stir and slowly simmer for couple hours, add water if needed, and let it get to a nice thick sauce. put it on a bun, pop open a beer and enjoy.
I like the firehouse BBQ sauce on http://www.allrecipes.com . though I slightly modify the recipe.
I add more stuff like black pepper, lemon pepper,paprika,molasses,minced onions, ground mustard, and very little garlic .
if you add more stuff like I do, start with small amounts then add more if needed. use to much, you stuck with it or you throw it out.
edit; if ya make sauce, let it simmer awhile to get flavors to blend.just adding then tasting right then doesn't give a true taste of what it will be in the end.
did all this, smoker time 8 hours, sauce making time 2 hours, simmer all together in pot 3 hours. end result mmm no words to describe it. better than the best I ever eaten before.
oh nice Buck there Medicboy, plenty good eating. :)

What was the deer packing? Was it a clear cut case of self defense? ;)
I have a friend who hasnt had any luck HUNTING deer these past few years, but he's managed to hit one with his new truck. I told him to sell his guns, just invest the money to lower his deductible!
-
Going Buffalo hunting this coming January in SD, will send the pics after that.
Btw nice buck
-
Great buck. The biggest ones around here get to maybe 160 pounds, but they have a lot of points.
I have a picture somewhere around here of one that has at least 14 points.
-
Very nice buck Medicboy!!!

That is a huge Buck Medic, wtg.
I only Bowhunt in the Midwest, and usually goof on guys that use rifles, but that is a monster.
My Brothers co-worker shot this nice one, this weekend, a good Iowa Bow Kill.

nice lil cap hanging rack, in that pic creamo.

TY, CC.
They hang and clean them right out, and pressure CAN most of the meat straight away, except the back straps.
I will be flying into ORD Friday, farting venison come Monday staying at my brothers house for 3 days. Can't wait.

Nice Buck!:aok

Nice bodied deer but a little small on that 8 point (as we call 'em down here in Alabama).
My dad killed an 8 point on Christmas Eve of 1986 that weighed a little over 250 lbs field dressed down here. I have killed several small antlered bucks in the 190-200 range down here as well. Alot of times it depends on the area that you hunt in like Central Alabama (aka the black belt) which has some outstanding farms and wooded wetland areas where the deer like to feed before going to hang out in the pine plantations all night.

DEER ARE HIMMLER!!!!!!!!OH JEEBUS!!!!!

Nice white tail ! See any Muleys ?

Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost to get a deer butchered into steaks?
Is that something a hunter can do himself, or is it always professionally done?

Normally (at least in Illinois) you can just take the dressed deer to the locker, and they will even skin it for you. The processing fee is 30-40 bucks, and they will de-bone and cut it up for you how you want it. What costs extra money is if you want to get it made into jerky or slimjims or something to that extent. Then it is so much a pound for them to make it, and whatever the pork costs that they mix with it.
I have de-boned a few in my time, and even helped quite a few guys make their own sausage and whatnot, but I'd much rather just field dress the sucker and drop it off at the locker... quite a bit of work if you do it yourself.

The white spots are just something to aim at. LOL
Great buck BTW! Congratulations. I haven't been able to go out much this year, and I didn't even get a shotgun permit... You cheaters and your rifles LOL

I love venison, but I disagree with shooting something that isn't shooting back. Not much sport to it. Skill? Yes. Patience? In the extreme. Challenging? Can be... but I'll still stick with paintball. So instead of sitting in a blind for hours on end, I just order it online. Buffalo is really good too. Healthier than regular beef, tastes better imho, just hard to find a restaraunt that serves it. If you can find Beefalo.. oh yeah, then you're in for some good eatin'.
http://www.allenbrothers.com/N1.HTM
gooooooooood eatin' if you like Kobe style beef. it can just be difficult to cook correctly. you have to sear it really hot, really fast to keep the fat from melting and running out the steak, which ruins expensive pieces of meat :(

You promise us hottie pics, and all you deliver is dead animals. You disgust me.

Indy007 if he got that in the Montana rockies it's a safe bet he wasn't sitting on his bellybutton in a blind. Tracking and hunting in the rockies can be exhausting and challenging. Especially when you've got to bring the dead animal off the mountain. Although he could've just shot it from his living room window for all I know. I know people who have done that in montana, lol.
Now that I'm in texas I have zero interest in deer hunting. Which down here means, putting out a corn feeder all year, and then when hunting season opens, drive out to the feeder and wait for the deer to show up.
But still that's better than buying your meat from an animal factory. Where the animals only see the light of day when they are herded from one building into the slaughter machinery in another building.
Bison, I've tried it, it's good, but I just don't feel comfortable consuming that animal for various reasons. Bring me one that was picked off from a huge herd on a Nebraska prarie, then I'll eat bison.
-
They don't hunt them here, they harvest them, but it has to be done, regardless.
As for having it processed, unless you like lots of deer hair in your sausage, you should at least skin and quarter it. It is a chore to butcher a couple of deer, though, espeically if you are making sausage out of a lot of it, but it is well worth it.
Cost here to turn 50# of butchered, de-boned deer into 70/30 sausage (they provide the pig), is about 150$ for 40-odd rings, about the same as buying regular sausage rings.

My Montana hunting experiences:
White tail you have to "hunt", push 'em around the river edges and creeks.
Muley's you drive up to a herd and pick out your deer.
Elk you bust a nut and 1 of 3 times you *might* get one.

I never said it was easy. It's just not for me :) If i'm walking through the woods, and a deer jumps out from behind a tree holding a .45, then I might change my mind, should I survive long enough. However, lacking opposable thumbs, I don't forsee a deer gunning me down in my prime.
I don't have anything against hunting, nor hunters, I love fresh venison, but I don't have a problem getting my meat straight from the slaughterhouse either. The difference is, I'd much rather be slogging up & down the mountain at EMR in Pennsylvania, at 1am, with PVS-7 goggles clipped into place, stalking live people, who have their own paintball guns, and nowadays, their own NVG. If I mess up, make a sound, get backlit, there's a reasonable chance I'm going to eat alot of paintballs, and it's not going to be pleasant. On the flipside, if I'm hunting something for "sport" that isn't hunting me back... what's the point?
-
Deer Sausage, which if you buy from a slaughterhouse is illegal.

Driving thru Penn at night is not far off from deer hunting.

Thanks guys!!
I am having most of the meat made into hot italian sausage, as he was a mature (old) tough bastage... Got the back straps and loins though.
FYI, I shot him at 1700 and didn't get him to my truck until after 2100. Pitch friggen black. I tell you dragging a bloody deer through thick vegitation in the dark in Griz country is a whole new thrill altogether. And quite a work out.
I still have my Elk tag and will be going out at 0430 tomarrow. They are the most amazing creatures, never seen a 700 lb monster able to just vanish like a ghost with out a sound.... Or run full bore up a 9000 ft mountain and over the top...
I could have filled my deer tag from my itchen door 3 times as we have a lot of white tails wonder through here but It just didn't seem sporting.
Saw lots of mulies, just not any in the zones my tag was good for mulies. On of them was a 36" 5x5 with heavy mass, made me drool. I did get a pic of a decent 4x4 on opening day, here it is.

Thats a nice picture of that Mule deer there. BTW what does an out of state license cost if someone wants to come up that way and hunt for a few days? I know you can go with a guide service but to me that isn't hunting its more harvesting/population control like on those ranches in Texas. At least here in Alabama if you can lease some good land you actually have to work your tail off to kill a deer but you are able to do it and yes its finally hunters choice for the entire season this year in nearly every county in the state. Hunter's Choice meaning you may take two deer in a day 1 doe and 1 buck or 2 does.
-
Why would a person want pig meat added to deer sausage? Might as well just eat a big bucket of lard. I am interested in trying deer steaks.

I do it myself. I salvage all the meat I can and usually cut the loin into steaks. All of the rest I make biscuit cuts and jerky. Never leave any meat that can be eaten!

Deer Sausage without pig is not edible.

Not sure just how much an out of state licence cost but I think if you want deer, and elk it is about $800 for the whole thing.
The guided hunts around here are not a harvest. Go with an outfitter and do a 10 day pack trip back into the Selway-Bitterroot wilderness (the largest wilderness area in the world) and hunt from a base camp. It will run about $3000 but will be a trip of a lifetime. Some outfitters take the horses and pack mules in ahead as it takes 2-3 days travel to get to base camp and use bush planes to fly clients in and land them in meadows back there. ANd to hunt elk in the back country you have to be in TOP shape....

Someday I will save up enough to do a Colorado or Montana horseback elk hunt.

Dangit man, if you live in Illinois and just go for the shotgun permit, you are missing out! Its the HANDGUN permit thats fun!
-
Thanks Medic as I said that is something that I want to do one year. I have wanted to go in and do one of those sort of hunts for a while and save up a little for it each year. Maybe in another two seasons I can make that trip up there.

Alberta's, some 26,000 elk are found mostly along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in the high basins and foothills zones, The elk have been migrating to the boreal forest and parkland regions over the last several years. If you are up for a rugged hunt by horseback in remote camps, you'll want to plan your elk hunting trip in the mountain or foothill zones. If you want to go the "old fashioned way" in a truck, quad or on foot, you'll enjoy the hunts in the boreal forest and parkland zones. Any way you choose, you'll have the opportunity to see monster elk!
Come spend your "all powerfull" Yankee dollars before it's too late....... Our Elk willingly walk up to your truck and hop in before you shoot them...

Also a wonderful idea. I have just the .338 Win Mag for the trip. :D
