I enjoy the comradery of deer camp, but the cost/lb it makes no sense. There was a thread about a $.12 deer...just wishful thinking. But folks will rationalize anything. I suppose if someone poaches off their back porch (not aware of any place you can kill deer without a license), and not sight in their gun, they could harvest a deer for $.12. My last doe cost about $4/lb... maybe more.
But we are having backstraps tonight for dinner...YUM.
