I was curious-so I googled “Venison Price List”. After I weeded out the places that were just processing the deer that you brought in, and the places that sold it but were in Canada, Austrailia, New Zealand etc I finally found a place in Kansas that sells farm raised Venison.

Well, officially it ended last week for regular rifle here in Upstate NY. If you bow hunt or use a muzzle loader, the season is longer. . . . Thank goodness Yankee Bill doesn’t do either of those 🙂 I only have to be a hunting widow for about 3 1/2-4 weeks. . . Hunting… Keep Reading
