Thats also why we get our meat from my parents farm. The stuff in the store just isn't as good, I don't know weather its due to what they are fed, or hormones they are given or just chemicles leeching from the packaging but the store bought meat tastes different and if I'm not super careful to make sure its not well well done I get sick half the time eating it anyway. The home grown stuff is easier to cook,tastes better, is healthier, etc. Its also better in the eys of organizations liek PETA since the animals are not kept pinned up in a barn, they are allowed to get out and move around.

I never have hunter for hornes either, so far I've only taken two deer, both doe. WV had an overlapping doe and buck season a couple yeard ago because the population of deer was so high so I was able to take whatever I found rather than wait for one or the other. My hunting trip that year was about 5 minutes because I didn't even make it all the way up the road before seeing a doe so I hopped out, shot it, loaded up and turned around and went home.

My parents though have decided they don't want to butcher anymore, too much cleaning up, so I had to take my deer to a local shop and we didn't get any beef these last couple years either. I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried to set up in a small trailer, I was thinking I could do that so they don't have to clean up their garage before and afterward. I could buy one of those aluminum cargo trailers and fix it up for camping most of the year then come deer season empty it out and put in a couple tables and the grinder and such and work up the deer and beef then take it home and clean it out and put the camping stuff back in.
