I went to the meat section, just tonight. Planning for the weekend.
Turns out, it's free, cause we all know how cheap it is to fill your freezer with wild game...
Who buys meat in a store?...
Game meat CHEAP?😲 lf you live in the suberbs lt's $2000 minimum for dues at the Hunt Club, $30,000+ for 4WD pickup. Are you old like ME ? A Gator or Side by Side may be needed to get to the stand. Another $5000. Rifle/Scope $1000 minimum. Good binoculars and spotting scope, another $1500. Don't even mention hunting licenses and clothes. lf you plan spending the night, Another $10Grand for a camper.
Diver, l respectfully disagree. l believe Game meat is the MOST expensive on Earth🤑🤑🤑

Makes me feel better that we got a 1/3 of a beef at 3.29 per pound. Went in with two other families. Nice being able to buy local raised beef.

The local grocery store here had choice ribeyes for $23.99 a pound.
A friend of mine in Seattle guesstimates the salmon he catches in Puget Sound are around $500 / lb.

Cleaned up the garden, and set the heifers out in it.
Sadly, the calves I sell this fall won't reflect the "local" grocery store prices...

"I was going to back off the deer harvest this year as I still have venison in the freezer. The way things are sounding I may shoot a couple extra."
I made the suggestion that all of the 2020 meat be consolidated and all the 'stuff' that's accumulated in the freezers be utilized or fed to the cats & dogs. The limiting factor on deer harvest here is freezer space(I have 3X 19 cubic footers and Son has 2X 22-24 cubic footers). I plan to shoot a smaller cow or a big calf elk this year so we have more space for homegrown deer.
Haven't checked with the local processor yet but last year, they weren't doing deer. Probably DIY but may have problems if the weather is warm in December.

The meat prices haven't even began to catch up to other stuff.
In the early 70's seven good 500# steer calves sold for enough to buy a new 3/4 ton 4WD pickup. That doesn't even buy the accessory package today.
Driving a $50-70K vehicle to the store and complaining about food prices is UNACCEPTABLE.

25 bucks for a "family pack" of fatty 75\25 hamburger meat that cost 10 dollars two months ago is UNACCEPTABLE in my book. 😒
