Is it good to kill a deer?

There is an over population in some areas. If hunting them is legal locally, then yes.

Question

Do I shoot a deer in the neck?

Community Answer

No, you should aim for the spot behind the front leg so you can shoot it in the heart.

Question

If a group of deer is encountered while hunting, which deer of the group should be targeted?

Community Answer

From what I know, target the biggest. If you shoot the gun it'll make a lot of noise and spook the rest of the deer. You also get more meat this way.

Question

How do I know if I have a good deer?

Community Answer

If you are thinking in terms of meat retention, then that is a question you should ask yourself before you shoot the deer. Avoid shooting fawns or anything that appears too small or potentially unappetizing. Once you have a deer on the ground, you do not want to waste the meat but can decide to share the meat with others or donate the carcass to a local food pantry.

Question

What does deer meat taste like?

Community Answer

It tastes like beef with a "gamey" flavor to it. If you add things to it, that will alter the flavor. For using deer meat, use it like you would ground beef, it will taste similar.
