Our last house, which also had alot of land, was hunted on by our neighbors and they made sure nobody else hunted on our land.

( only one deer my entire life!) but I was out there with my family just about every year before we moved to Iowa Uncles, cousins, but mostly my Dad and brother. Dad even bought a small 40 acre lot just for us three to hunt peacefully. ( Public lands... oh the stories!) As I recall, Minnesota has two short seasons rather than one 2.5 week hunting season like in Michigan. I remember you had to pick the "right season" or all the big bucks would be gone... or so they told us. We froze all our venison. Funny Mom loved to can, but never canned meat. I'm sure it would have been great! Oh! Congrats on the success!

We are not hunters but are surrounded by rural areas where men plan their vacations around the start of deer season and some schools schedule a vacation day the first day of deer season. We live on the edge of town near the tag station and sometimes I don't see much business. They also sell beer and my slogan is No Beer without a Deer. Personally, I am not crazy about venison (never had it canned) but I don't mind ground venison heavily seasoned in tacos. My favorite is venison trail bologna.

I have a nephew who goes hunting on a regular basis (mostly deer and pig). What they don't cook up as roasts and stews gets made up into sausages.

Both of the boys and Jeremy got bucks but Alicia wasn't having any luck. They process their own meat too and have given me some venison sausage.

Growing up in south central Minnesota, the deer were mostly "corn fed", as they grazed in the corn fields and were fat and sassy. My cousins always hunted up north and that venison always had a leaner taste. One of my sons-in-law is a hunter and got a "west river" antelope a month ago. He processed it himself too.
