[QUOTE="Ben Gallardy, post: 2867966, member: 110137"] As long as people have tags, and they are using the resources wisely, I don't see a reason to limit harvest if the resource is available. Plenty of WMUs need doe management. Where I hunt in MD, does are an unlimited resource....which is good, because my 4 kids and German Sheperds are a bottomless pit when it comes to venison! I self-processed 12 whitetails and a mule deer last season and will be Winchester on venison very soon. My family eats the prime cuts (backstrap, tenderloins, roasts) the 2nd tier clean meat goes to snack sticks and bologna that we eat and give out to our friends and neighbors as Christmas Gifts. ALL the remaining trimmings, hearts, livers and kidneys get ground and froze, and then fed to our German Shepards throughout the year (I need a pound a day for them). I even save and freeze the bones for chew toys for the dogs. The head, nervous system and hide go into the outdoor boiler which turns to ash and heats my house. Literally use the entire deer, minus gut pile. I will caveat this post with the fact that by the end of the season, I am SICK AND TIRED of processing deer! But it's worth it to me. The meat is the ultimate healthy protein for my family, both 2 and 4 legged. [/QUOTE]
