If yall just want to be legal...Georgia now has Deer Management Assitance Programs (DMAP) that allows a lot of flexibility. The DMAP is property specific.

Play around with a small batch using the standard sausage seasonings, try chunk or shredded apples.I bet you could come close to the same taste.

The Pioneer Women has an apple sausage recipe.

Lol....While working in Baxter State Park 5 days a week for 6 months breakfast,dinner,and supper.Deer steak and eggs for breakfast.Then for dinner and supper I will brown up a package of deer burger then add Marinara sauce served with peach iced tea.At home I eat alot of deer cheeseburgers as well.

I shoot 4 or 5 a year for me and the wife. Not hard to eat that much. We also eat lots of walleye some chicken and pork.
Used to shoot a lot of deer in my younger years. Would shoot two for every old farmer that let me use their land for trapping, hunting and fishing. They put their tags on them. That wasn't legal but at least they were tagged.
Would butcher them for them too if that's what they wanted.
Boy oh boy I miss those days.
There wasn't posted signs anywhere. Wasn't a need for them. Then the citiots arrived and started " leasing" hunting rights. That ruined everything for trapping in my neck of the woods. They lease it for the hunting season but that runs right along with the first 2/3's of trapping. And they don't even want you trapping ditches by the road.

Your Grandpa is CoonMan??

I’ve averaged 6 a year since 77 just kill what we use anymore

Lived in Virginia for 8 years shooting 25 to 30 deer a year there.I would drop Alot of them off to a local slaughter house for the hunters for the hungry program.

Never had the need to shoot that many. Now its just my wife and I at home and 2 is great plenty.

Illinois allows that many?

Michigan allows 10 antlerless and two bucks if really want to harvest them....and they arent goat sized. We simply have too many deer and not enough hunters to keep them in check.

Seems as I have aged I'm just not as angry at the deer as I used to be. I still enjoy hunting but I'm perfectly fine with about 3 yearlings per year.

Nope we get 1 WT tag here and sometimes the odd mulie tag. Good thing I can usually get an elk or moose every year to fill the freezer

we don't really get a lot of meat of a deer, boneless meat, is right around 35 pounds per. animal average, we weight every deer that we harvested, out of our camp for over 30 years, and I believe it was 35 pounds avg.

X2, I weigh the deer, that is about my average.

I kill 10-12 every season for the last five years, after the PGC upped the doe license limit. Up until 1988, you could only kill one deer a year in Pa.

It’s just the wife and I now days. We eat 3-4 deer a year. I think we can take around 7 or 8 per person, we are landowners.

4 is about right.

I usually eat 2 a year between me and the dog. Most of its ground, use it in chilí, tacos, etc. eacy to take a pound out fishing and cook up for dinner, do keep cuts for steaks and steak fingers etc.

I think keeping track of the number of "kills" is something most mature hunters grow out of. As a kid and teenager knowing the number was important, once you reach adulthood it isn't.
