SAVE THE TALLOW FROM YOUR DEER

[reinhard1]

just a little tip for the people who have bird feeders and hunt our great whitetails. carve the fat off your deer and save it in amounts that you can use at a time and freeze it. i just put out some deer tallow and the birds are going nuts over it. good luck.

Have done that for years, great tip for others to do.

Another good one is to hang the whole rib cage up in a tree. Doesn't look the best but the birds love it.

Squirrels,Downy woodpeckers,chickadees,bluejays and pileated woodpeckers love em. Just try to snug it up to a branch though otherwise she'll spin pretty good in the wind.

We take the rib cage, and then coat it with peanut butter and press some bird seed in it. the birds go crazy on it.

I eat the ribs so I just save all scraps and tallow. I live in a small town and it's amazing the birds that find my pile in back yard. All the smaller birds, crows, blue jays, fox, even had a eagle once. Two boxes last all winter and only thing left in spring is the big bones picked clean that I throw away after spring thaw. Put out the back bones of 2 deer and already have crows and other birds honing in on them.

Great idea!

Now someone in our group just has to kill one.
