Thread: Selling game to a chiller?

AAH yes those were the days alright, the last years i can remember selling deer i would get about $100 in the hand for a 40kg hind so must have been about $2.50-$3 a kg , thats neck or head shot. Cant remember if they took tax off that or not.
Has to be a very short carry for me to carry a whole carcass these days thats for sure
