It would have a huge impact if Steve showed up to the washington fish and game commission meeting, in Olympia, friday October 27th. Please we need your help!
The talk about being kids shooting large caliber rifles brought back memories of grandpas 303 British and 30-06. 😂 these kids now days have it made with these newer caliber’s. If only we were so lucky!
Some nostalgia chat here, haha. Pops got out an old WW1 Lee Enfield, and leaned 5 year old me up against a stump to shoot at some freshly emptied cans. Still got that rifle, and thankfully worked through that flinch years ago, haha.
I know the picture you are painting. Some of the ancient cypress, pines, oaks and walnuts that grow in the swamps here in coastal South Carolina will bring you to your knees. It is a place where God let’s you know his glory.
My understanding is that a yearling is aproximately 1.5 years old and a fawn is around 6 months. I've seen a few spotted fawns in October. One was tiny.
Yes, thats correct. In North Florida and Southwest Alabama our fawns usually weigh about 30-40 pounds during the fall and winter. Every now and then we will see a 20 pounder that still has fading spots during the fall. It's illegal here to kill one with spots, but as soon as they are solid brown they are a legal anterless deer.
@@jaredpeterson380 Somebody probably shot the doe. They do just fine as long as they are out of spots and there aren't a bunch of predators around. I have shot a doe in early season and watched her fawn(s) keep coming back to the food plot all fall/winter many times. We get to hunt until March 1st so you get to watch them all the way through to spring.
As a man who just wacked a youth aged buck I can verify that nearly every cut of meat is at the level of tenderness that an elk backstrap would be if not more tender. I freaking love the does/younger deer here in Idaho.
Not sure if this was intentional but kudos to the MeatEater team for being respectful of Levi and his faith by not going down the f-bomb path. Makes for a cleaner more palatable show.
The hunting community needs to push more for hunting suppressed. If the barrier to entry was easier, more people would do this and the sport might grow.
I can tell you, in Pennsylvania, the general consensus is killing does takes 2 deer out of "next year's herd". The most common phrase I hear is "there aren't any deer left". Hunters also believe that more does brings in more bucks. It's painful to have a conversation about it.
Levi Morgan has been making the rounds with these podcast appearances. He started his own podcast, then went to Cam Hanes’ podcast, then Tim G’s Gold Tip podcast, now here.
Very first 3D shoot was at i think 10years old compound bow using fingers very cool esprience ended up getting 2nd place trophy will never forget that day
wish the tour would come up to MN...lots of people here that participate in some sort of hunting. More registered hunters than any of the states on the current tour
It's a really touchy subject in some parts of the country. Around me tons of people think that hanging a deer out for a few days is aging meat (it's not), that having a crust on the outside of the meat means it's aging (it doesn't), and that you have to age venison before use or it's inedible (wildly untrue). Food riles people up, and very little discussion can be had on the issue without someone running around with hurt feelings and trash talking each other. Maybe this show could do it, though.
I used to shoot around 80lbs hunting but injuries have turned it down to around 58 but I’m still shooting my old matthews LX at 31 inches and 307 so I’m good I believe. I’ve killed em at 70 yards with that set up and like Levi said they don’t react much at that distance but I never aim at the belly line anymore at all period I’m up in the deer at least a couple inches to make sure I at least hit heart if they don’t react.
Would be really interested to see what make and model that scale was that measured the tenderness. I work in one of the most accurate force metrology labs in the world, so this is pretty badass to see this type of equipment used for hunting purposes.
As a owner many wildcat rounds I think 6.5 creedmor will win. At a 300rd zero it's 0-500 yd easy mode, it's barely affected by wind and has low recoil.
The best ones still have milk on their chin. I have no qualms eating a bovine calf,piglet, or any other tender baby animal so why should a fawn be any different.
@@kalebjohnson8644depends on the fawn. I have a fawn that still bares spots that weighs 70lbs. She feels every pound of that weight when she’s fighting to get in the car and go to town with me too. She loves to ride in the car. She is NOT pen kept either.
I think every whiteail hunter should have to harvest 2 does before they can get a buck tag. And buttons don't count as antlerless. If you take a button, you can't apply for the buck tag. It is common sense if you want big bucks, you have to thin the does.
I feel pa gives out way too many doe tags and used to be when i was a kid like 3 days of doe hunting rifle season now its the whole season every doe killed is possibly one less buck the next year idk i haven't dug into it deeply but kinda just how i was brought up as hunting deer i guess
Fwiw about not shooting does because a buck might be right behind her, last year gun season, I shot a doe with a .458 socom at maybe 30y. 30 seconds later, an 8-pt buck followed her same trail right past me, and I shot him too. It was actually easier to ahoot him because he was concentrating on the doe trail and not looking around much.
@MeatEater - I dropped a phone in an outhouse toilet once. I grabbed a long stick and a roll of duct tape from the car. wrapped a bunch of that tape in a ball - sticky side out - on the end of the stick and fished that sucker out. i cannot imagine climbing down in there to grab that phone
Two seasons ago all I seen was bucks so I made the assumption that there were too many bucks around, especially on my property. I seen a mature doe, shot her and it wasn’t a her, it was a spike that was looking away and his spikes were covered by his ears. This last year I seen 2 cow horns, 2 doe with a 4 point and a 5 point that I thought was a 6 point. I took the 5 point and a cow horn that walked out right after the 4 point with the 2 doe. Didn’t take a single doe.
I always refrained from harvesting does just because I was under the impression that taking them was dinging my odds for the following year. I've been rethinking that recently the more I look into it. But, yes, I 100% agree that food is food and there's literally no shame in feeding yourself and/or family.
@@danorris5235 right on. We have soooo many does in my area I hardly see bucks over 2yo they stay hidden pretty good. Plus the property I got permission to hunt (across the street from my neighborhood) only want me taking does or small cull bucks and I’m ok with that I’m in it for the meat and I like shooting my bow lol
The perception of the 6.5 creed is the biggest crime in modern hunting. It is not an elk gun period. Target bullets are not hunting bullets no matter what Hornady or any of the others put on the box. We already had the .260 Rem that shot real hunting bullets. I don't get it. The only good thing about the 6.5 CM trend is that people are ditching the .243 for it, HALLELUJAH!

If you can't get an exit wound it is a fail. With the fake hunting bullets most shoot out of the 6.5 exits are still not as common, but there is enough energy dumped to keep them from running as far.

Great show. Love watching Steve and Levi Morgan! I've been watching both of you for years! Always entertaining and down to earth.
Come to North Carolina!!!

@@Steve-ev6vx I might've missed seeing the doe. He still had spots in December.
I'm a Michigan resident and I haven't passed a doe with my bow in years. Small bucks a lot, not does.

The hunting community needs to push more for hunting suppressed. If the barrier to entry was easier, more people would do this and the sport might grow.
Are you talking about suppressors? Or the suppression of hunting rights?
Seems like the sport is growing just fine. Too many people in the woods already.
I have no problems taking does. The WMU in my unit in PA sells out quick.
Got 5 doe tags in pa this year
@coon3869 I got 4. Normally I also get 2 dmap tags but my unit doesn't exist anymore
Great information!
Pennsylvania?? Like Kinsington Ave in PA? How is there anything in that state to enjoy??
Plenty to do here in Rural West Texas
On the caliber battle, am I supposed to be voting for what I think is the best? Or what I use?

Levi is as good as people get.

Not sure how many more podcasts levi will do like this--literally 1st hr of podcast was a waste of his time....
@@Night-le9ys Yes, I did notice they don't really talk that much with Levi until minute 53:00

I would love to hear an episode about aging dear meat

There’s an episode with a meat scientist back in the archives. Around episode 10, I think.
Chester The Tenderness Tester. 👍
Meat eater test kitchen is a great idea. I would love to watch that. How do you cook a sasquatch so it gets rid of the foot flavor?
Can we get a walleye episode with techniques and strategies

Why are y'all only doing the Yankee States
I’d like to say as a Michigan resident an elk tag here is like hitting the lottery
Got a buddy that has a cabin full of whitetail mounts, some pushing the 200" mark. I called in three bulls and he froze!!!!!
Shouldn’t the test on the meat have been done right after it was cooked? Wouldn’t it be tougher the next day?
Guys I would be more than happy to take you steelhead fishing when you in Cleveland, hit all the streams on your way to Pittsburgh

It isn't uncommon for people to catch all kinds of hell over killing a fawn. I have no problem with it, they are the best eating deer by far.
Nature doesn't care how old an animal is when it dies. Weather it be disease, a predator, starvation ...
The best ones still have milk on their chin. I have no qualms eating a bovine calf,piglet, or any other tender baby animal so why should a fawn be any different.
I shot my doe Saturday night literally licking its kids face😂
Agreed. But there is a difference between a yearling and a fawn. Don't make much sense shooting a fawn to yield meat.
