Nice job, he's a beaut! My brother made some home-made jerky from a buck last year and it had to be the best I've ever eaten. You might give it a try.

I make my own jerky, and most of this guy will be just that, since he's old and tough. The tenderloins weighed ten pounds each, and one will be marinated for 24 hours and made into curry. I save the does for meat cuts.

Man that's awesome. I've never shot an animal like that before. Never had to. I want to learn to deer hunt, though. You never know when hunting skills might be required for survival.

Exactly, Thats why i stay well practiced, skin and dress the animal myself, and smoke, dry, and salt cure the meat. Now Im learning to make hides.

I thought about it, but i am going to wait until i get the twelve point that strips trees up to five feet off the ground. Ive seen trees with the bottoms bare nearly up to my head. And Im six foot. When i have that rack i may cut up this one.

i hear ya, i still have a 10 point elk that came with property and i've only cut up half. i get free/trade sheds from people i know, but i'm gonna have to get a buyer's license and just get alot cheap if i want to keep up with my friends. i need to cut up a bunch soon for a new batch of knives but i hate the stink the antler creates when it's being ground out.
