Amidst all the posts about antlers and success stories this fall remember the real prize is what goes in your freezer.
Whether you’re a hunter in pursuit of the most mature animal you can find or someone simply looking to provide for their family while getting more connected to where their food comes from, success can mean many things, but most importantly it means meals on the table.
Our job as hunters often get’s overlooked in favor of stories surrounding mature animals, inches of antler, and personal interests. It’s easy to fall into a trap, idolizing and sharing only the things that we perceive as valuable to social media, when the truth is what’s valuable and needs more shares is the longterm health and sustainability of the resource and our interest in healthy food.
This year I’ve been blessed to harvest two incredible bucks, my best ever in fact, and while there are stories to share and details to come, right now I want to highlight all the meals these two incredible deer will provide while continuing to jump back into the woods with just as much effort to fill my doe tags, support friends, and play my part for conservation goals and putting food on the table.
Whether you tag the buck of a lifetime this year, or simply fill your freezer with whatever makes you happy in the moment, I hope you’re thankful for what you bring home and choose to celebrate each deer of your fall no matter the size. I encourage you to share the meals you provide as much as the antlers on the wall and embrace our role as conservation contributors while remembering that your freezer doesn’t care about inches, and neither do the hungry mouths that are happy for a healthy meal 📝
