i stopped by my small meat locker yesterday to pick up some ground deer meat,the owner was the only one there.i asked what he thought about this season,he said he likes the money because alot of the deer are hush deer, but it is unreal how many shed bucks are brought in.there were 15 deer in the back and 6 shed bucks!!
most lockers i have stopped at usually confirmed these type of shed buck numbers,so i asked why does this not show up on the deer call in system.he stated most guys like this season and just shoot does,you do not see any antlers on any of them do you!!!
i then asked about a bigger meat locker, in the same county which had taken in 100 deer and not one shed buck or button buck,this was told to me by a guy that works there!he said they are taking in all kinds of hush deer, do the math 75 dollars paid by the state for processing plus state supplies packaging plus they get to sell the hide for 12 bucks,thats 87 bucks per deer,why would you want to tell everybody this season sucks its a hell of a money maker?
i have heard some of these locker guys are hitting it hard now,just think 87 - the 13 dollar tag, thats a hell of a good day, deer hunting,10 deer equals 740 dollars.
now i wonder how they are getting paid for these deer,heard its just by the tag,so a big shed buck could be split in half,then go by another tag and holy crap you would have two deer and that would be 148 dollars.sweet maybe we should all start up meat lockers then all the deer in southern iowa would be extint!!!!!
