Feeding chickens meat... Deer actually

7L come to my house we have 2 in the freezer and still 3 months to kill them. My hubby does Bow then Rifle then Black Powder the Bow......I buy very little meat, and now that I have chickens I will have to learn to prosses them.

I give the carcass to a freind that has a mountain lion so my chicks will not be getting that, but I always have meat left over to give them.

I'd have to throw the carcass in the run here at 7L or I'd have every critter in the county fighting for it.

He was suppose to go last weekend. But the house we rent out where we use to live has a furnace issue and he had to drive back up there. This saturday it is suppose to be 80ish out... Just does not sound like fun hunting weather to me.


We do our own pigs and cows as well so they should have all kinds of treats this fall

I agree I like to hunt when its cold out well around 45 degrees.

We are used to warm weather hunting, it takes us less then 45 minutes from hanging the deer to having it in a seperate refridgerator quartered. We actually built a cool room at one hunting camp using 2 window ac units as bow season starts early Sept. and temps in the high 90's are common. Ive had it the other way as well....had to wait 10 days for deer to thaw out after freezing solid the night of the kill. Such a variety of conditions here you never know what you will face.

We usually hunt in shorts & flip flops because opening day its around 90. I like to hunt when its cooler out & after the kill if weather permitting I like to skin the deer & let it hang for a day & a night to let the meat season. The meat seems to taste better to me.

We have a walk in cooler attached to our " butchering shop" but it is still nice to hunt in cooler weather IMHO.

We like to hang out deer for a while to age them a bit like beef.

We do a lot of deer for our friends as well. The walk in we had at our other house, housed about 6 deer comfortably and was built with a rigged Ac unit.

This current cooler is 12X10 and and an actual walk in cooler that came from a Bakery.
