Re: Deer meat

80-90% of my meat intake, some pork and chicken but i have not bought beef in 30+years for my eating. with me it all has to do with preference rather than dislike

I cultivated, spread the seeds and cultipacked the seeds in and that’s all. I only use screening plants to stop deer in my food plot from being seen...
