Just read this on metro news. I am sure it will get mixed reviews. Who will buy venison from a store? I might depending on how outrageous the price is. Plenty in the pantry and freezer for now.

We thought it was bad when those 5 guys killed 18 deer in summers county last year. They could market those as free range, organic deer. That should raise the price by at least $5/pound. Another version of this same story was on the front page of the market bulletin this month.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the future.

Or. have the stores and restaurants buy deer from the poachers to keep from paying the high price of the farm raised deer. Don't think that will happen? LOL.

So If a hunter doesn't get a deer can he buy the meat at the store and the horns at a sport show to show all of his buddies? LOL Wait I see a market for all of those sheds you are collecting gobbler. They can buy the meat at the back of the store and pick out he horns as they check out up front.( And I have called em horns since I was a kid)

I just had to check this out at the Wild Ramp in Huntington yesterday. Yep, it's there.... Deer burger at around $10/pound and Deer venison at $30/pound. They also had deer heart, don't remember the price, but was considerably cheaper than the venison.
