    but I've never liked the taste of deer or elk.


    The taste of deer has a lot to do with it's fat. Deer fat, to me, tastes rancid. If you can cut out all the fat and replace it while cooking with, say, beef fat or bacon fat, the flavor gets markedly better. Nothing at all wrong with elk fat, though. In my world, once you've tasted elk you'll throw rocks at beef. And the best elk of all for eating is an old, dry cow. Loves me summadat elk.

    I love going hunting, I usually go deer hunting and elk hunting with my Father-In-Law. I have unfortunately been unable to go the past 2 seasons because of work.
    I love hunting with my Remington Model 770 .300 Winchester Magnum.
    I also when I get a chance go upland hunting. I use to go with my barber since my Father-In-Law doesn't hunt anything but Big Game.
    Last October I lost my barber to cancer, so needless to say I didn't go last year.

    I also agree with The Kid I usually count the points excluding eye-guards and say 3x4 (3points left/4points right).

    Yep my friends who age and debone the deer themselves will go to a butcher and buy beef fat (another name?) and add that to the meat they would grind for burger.. Totally agree with trying to remove the deer fat especially before freezing. Thats why I'd process most of the fattier cuts into something else and keep just the lean steaks..Love the taste of Elk. I hear Moose is outstanding as well.

    High fence bull. I think it was off that Broadmouth Canyon Ranch.

    What a magnificent animal and a great trophy. I hunt on the East Side in Washington where it is spike only unless you draw a special tag. I have seen 5x5 that are 50 yards away and just stand and watch you because they typically get passed by.
    This one is a monster and puts all the ones I have seen to shame.

    It IS bs, isn't it? If he had killed it here in California, fine. But to kill it legally in another state... well, these do-gooder Democrats in our legislature are just looking for something to pi ss and moan about. A few of 'em ought to get the ol' stump treatment. You know the one - where ya sit him on a stump, nail his b alls to it, set the stump on fire, and hand him a dull knife.

    I swear I can't look at a possum without thinking about 'ol George Jones ...

    I cheat and deer hunt from my parent's back deck. Nothing like sitting on the porch on a frosty morning and having your Mom hand you a cup of coffee through the kitchen window. My Dad keeps grumbling about the cigar smoke keeping the deer away, though... Who woulda thunk?

    I've hunted most of my life. When our children were growing up I hunted for meat to feed the family. Now I hunt for trophies only. I've never killed an animal that I didn't consume furthermore I feel that hunting has enriched my life in numerous ways and taught me to respect the game I pursue with the up most respect. Dear has always been my favorite animal to pursue.
