“You can’t eat the horn's” they say...

Yea, well I’ve always found horn volume generally equates to meat volume. And I’ve never been disappointed in the meat quality

Mature Mule Deer buck backstrap hung six days and butchered on the kitchen table. The flavour is exceptional and it’s fork tender.

Agree. Take a big fat doe, ok. Take a big fat buck. Oh ya. Lots of good eats on some of those big bodied mature bucks. And get a decent rack too.


That plate looks yummy Chuck.

I could founder on the stuff. :-)

Yeah...but I'd starve waiting for enough priority to enter the draw for an antlered MD.

I've been distracted enough lately with other animals and fowl...maybe I can find a horned white boy to come home with me?

Bigger deer equal more meat...........whodathunkit.

I've always lived by the same logic: Big antlers, big meat. I've also killed all my bucks in peak rut and never had a single issue with the meat tasting bad as so many old timers profess. Everyone's palate is different I guess.

Since when do Mule deer grow horns ?
