I can’t eat all of it in the next 12 months, which is about the longest meat for people should be frozen, and I certainly don’t want it to be wasted, so the dog will get some of it.
Perhaps donating it to some worthy family who may be needing some extra food. This might help them. That would be much better than going to the dogs (the dogs won't appreciate it as much as the stuff they drag in from the outside... LOL...).
I've got half-a-mind (LOL...) to go out and do some deer hunting myself, just to donate it to some people who might need it...
If you live in Texas, we could use the meat! (No hunting for us this year. My son got in trouble and that's his punishment. I hate it.)
