Deers are gray during hunting season in Wisconsin. the one I shot this year was. the problem is the cost of hay is high. you cannot even give horses away. they recently shut down the last processing plant so to get rid of a horse it has to be shipped to Canada or Mexico. and these horses have to be really big or they will not be excepted. so the smaller ones get a shot to be put down or become zoo food!!! I think meat is meat. an animal is an animal. why is a horse more sacred than a cow? I know if this meat was sold here there would be a demand. being put down for slaughter is better than being neglected, abused or starved to death.
