DO NOT tell your non hunting friends you killed an elk...

[Rob5589]

Holy hell! Everyone wants my elk meat! From "hook a brother up" to "how much per pound." My wife mentioned to some of her co-workers that I had killed one. Dudes went nuts! One offered 10 bucks per pound. I told her to tell him; fly to Japan, buy some top end Wagyu, fly home. It would be cheaper than what I'd want per pound after 4 tags and everything that goes along with it

I guess it's a good problem to have. Sort of...

Not to mention that it's illegal to sell or buy wild game.. It's a good problem to have though.

Join the club. I had one of my 4 freezers that were stuffed full go out. I was so desperate I even gave my ex wife some meat! Lol

I have new hunting buddies because I shared the meat, great way to grow the sport.

True story. The neighbor got her 3rd batch too. Don’t worry, we have 3 more tags!

1. I must be getting old I just had to google “phrasing” so thanks for making me feel old.
2. Totally unintentional but that was damn funny! Well done sir.

That’s the main reason I bought a bow and spent most of September in the woods.

I validate people have had it first before giving out too much. Too many non hunters think theyll like it then don’t eat it. My wife is embarrassed of my stinginess with neighbors but that’s how it goes...

Non hunters have no idea the investment in wild game meat.

Thanks to Joe Rogan always talking about how it tastes better than any meat on earth. I sure get tired of that.

I used to have an ‘elk party’ most years..
Beer, poker and elk burgers.
Turned probably 8-9 vegetarians/vegans into meat eaters over the years (not on purpose).

Quality elk meat is amazing, and 99% why I still chase them with a bow after 20+ years.

I’ll share with people who I am sure will cook it promptly and enjoy it, but it’s usually just a single cut such as a roast. When I used to kill 6-10 Whitetails a season back in Tennessee, I’d be willing to share grind and sometimes even backstraps to the super appreciative. If someone has a genuine and burning desire to eat venison, maybe they grow up eating it or are just way into food and venison will be a special occasion, I’m open to it.

I make summer sausage and snack sticks with extra elk meat and give them away for Christmas gifts.

Have we met yet? I have a strange suspicion that we are soon to be best friends. Probably before Christmas.

I killed two bull elk this year (Utah and Colorado). I give meat to my two medical doctors, veterinarian, hunting partners (5), the guy who watches my dog when I go on vacation, a couple of good coworkers and several neighbors and my wives friends. I'm glad I got two since there isn't a lot left. I do have one rule, if someone just asks me for some meat that I'm not close with, that's a definite "no".

Ha different story in Wyoming. Everyone hunts and has a freezer full. Most ethical and healthy meat you can get anywhere.
