I should have posted this before
But I guess I never got around to it
Long story short
My dad , my brother and I all get crop damage deer permits
One bad part of the permits is that we can shoot deer and just let them lay and rot
I got 8 permits this year
But we want to use the deer
So this year we got with 2 people from my brothers church
One of them is a butcher
We got a list of days that they could process deer
As Sept 24 Bow season started , the crop damage permits were good till Sept 23 11:59 PM
So we would use my 308 Win with a can and a Thermal scope to harvest 3 deer a night for them to process
A total of 14 deer were donated , 12 does and 2 spikes
All of them in late August to mid September
So any fawns of the does could survive without the doe
All of the deer were sub 60 yards and we picked easy shots
Not sure how much meat there was
But most of the meat was made into burger and sausage
As those are what everyone knows how to use
So the reason I am posting this
I know others on the Forum also get crop damage permits
So I figured I might give everyone another outlet for deer meat
