Nice buck & interesting antlers, too. Grandma ought to leave the discussion about taking female deer to the wildlife biologists, though. If she ever had some meat from a fat doe that hasn’t gone gamey like a buck will from hormones & chasing does in heat, she’d change her mind about shooting them.
A good ice water brine for a couple three days takes the ‘buck’ out of the buck. Keep the ice and salt up, but let the water out and refill until the water stays clear.
The salt pulls out all the adrenalines and testosterone.
Yup! I won’t even bother shooting a buck any longer, the girls taste a lot better.
That could be taken wrong or right...
