    I am amazed at the price of venison online. With my mom coming up for thanksgiving I thought I’d be exotic and make venison..omg it’s $40.a pound.
    You guys that deer hunt are lucky and eating like kings!

    If you lived closer, I’d be happy to give you a roast.

    He gets 50 pounds of meat out of a deer? Must grow big in “Redneck” land!

    moxie, I don’t deer hunt down here, but I do have the chance to get some venison. Let me know and I’ll see what shows up. Also PM me your phone number or e-mail. It’s almost ice fishing time and can show you a few public places to start fishing at.

    The most expensive meal i’ve ever had was the last meal of fish i ate

    Last week when i was going to buy one of the best climber stands on the market i told myself “It’s already going to be the most expensive deer you shot…Take a break from spending and just go enjoy it”…So yeah – I don’t do it for the cheap meat

    Funny video for sure.

    Moxie if you don’t mind cleaning a deer, call the sheriffs dept. and ask them to put you on a list and when they go to a call where someone has hit one, they might call you to pick up the salvaged deer, its free and there’s alot of road kills right now and if theres not too many on the list you might get a call right away, like in the next few days.

    That’s a steal. I have come home from some hunts where we figured it was about $2000/pound.

    You’re paying for the entertainment and therapy that fishing and hunting provide. (Right Randy?) If you golf for 4 hours or fish for 4 hours and the cost is the same… which one do you get a meal out of.

    So I look at it as a cost of entertainment and therapy… the meat is FREE!!!!!!
