OSA Deer Donation Thread

[retrieverman]

That sucks that you got ghosted on the deer donation thing! I appreciate your willingness to still try again.

Deboned makes it super easy. Even quartered makes it super easy.

I’m set up to clean deer, and I seriously doubt most non hunters are. I figure some people might not participate in this because they don’t have a way to process one. I’m good at cleaning deer and don’t mind doing it, so I hope this offer might make it more feasible for someone without the ability to deal with having a whole dead deer dropped off at their house.

I won’t have a way to print, but I always screen shot the carcass tag anyway and will transfer it through a text.

That makes sense, and is awesome of you to offer up. That sounds perfect for a member who isn’t set up to deal with a carcass.

I never eaten a big older buck. How’s the eatin’ on ‘em? If the meat is tough or pungent just make a bunch of seasoned jerky/sausage/snack sticks/ground? Or are they usually fine anyway?

The bucks I’ve donated in the past to a lady in OKC said she can’t tell the difference in a big buck and a doe, taste or tenderness. I’ve supplied her with deer for over 20 years.
The deer in our area are raised on agriculture. Beans, corn, wheat, and so on.
The diet determines the taste.

How far are you guys willing to drive to pick one up in the field? Where is your preferred shot placement?

 

[dennishoddy]

Lung shots for me.

I’d drive a couple hours or so. Lung shots or neck shots, but beggars can’t be choosers lol

A couple years ago I got a doe from a guy where I headed his way right when he made the shot. I did the gutting and all. Again I try to make it as easy as possible for the giver of deer.
