Now honestly that’s way more then I wanna deal with , usually 5-10 take care of my and a friend or two’s needs . And to be honest this late antlerless season which is going on now just doesn’t pull me like the season when bucks are legal . Anyway years back when I’d kill a good bit more than I do now there was an old black fellow that had about a dozen kids so I’d try and take him a deer or two each year anyway I pulled up once and had a carcass in the back of the truck along with the legs of three other deer with 3-5 inches of the shank still there , he asked me what I was going to do with them and I replied toss in a brush pile . He then told me to put them with the deer he thought he could do something with those as well . Think I gave that man ten deer over the years , he owned I think 150 acres of scrub timber that a club from Northern VA leased . He asked me once if I was bringing him deer trying to get permission and I told him no and asked why . He then told me about his property and that is was leased then he told me those guys had leased it x amount of years and never offered him a piece of venison . I think he truely appreciated what I brought him .

Wow, that's a much more liberal bag limit than we have up here. We can get quite a few deer in a season, but there are bag limits within each segment of the season. It can tricky.
There is a nice property adjacent to ours that is a deer hunter's paradise. It took several years of politely asking to get my foot in the door. Since I've been granted permission, I send my boys over to shovel his walkway and clean off his car when it snows. A simple gesture but it means the world to the guy. I little bit of kindness goes a long way!
Can you send me that recipe Andy?
