Thread: Meat during the roar

A stag going into the roar has the best venison. A stag coming out of the roar has the worst venison. There will be exceptions.

Even if a stag is scungy I usually take the back steaks and at least a hind leg, and decide what to do with it after I've tasted some.

Carrying a big load of meat and a set of antlers can be challenging some times. More than once all I've carried out has been just the back steaks. It doesn't worry me too much. They are still making them.

In fact if you wanted to be a true conservationist during the roar you would go to one of the high population areas and just shoot hinds, and bring back a pack full of just back steaks.
