[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1738664, member: 498"] I was under orders from the chef not to kill anything this last year. Something about no room in the freezer. I did hunt deer nearly every day of our season. But anything short of 25 inch wide was safe. I passed up a bunch of smaller bucks. I had a cow elk tag. Filling that is about one step above shooting a cow in the pasture. But my two hunting partners both lost their last living parent during elk season. As a result the elk got off easy this year. Being just the two of us and the fact that I shot both a deer and an elk the last couple years may have let to the full freezer. I generally try to buy about an 800 pound crippled heifer. Not too crippled. I get them cheap. The feedlots don't want a cripple and too small to interest the kill plants. I put it in a smallish pen where it doesn't have to move too much or too far. About 90 days on about 10 pounds of corn a day and butcher. Generally hang around 600 pounds and I sell half. Makes so pretty cheap beef in my freezer. [/QUOTE]
