yes they did but that did not last that long and we had to sell with heart lungs and liver attached - but for those who are younger and did not go thru those days it did not last long - the days we could go out shoot deer and sell them sadly went - same as the goat boom and bloody ostriches and emus - we need the selling of venison back again but sadly the bloody greenies and do gooders have possibly stopped that -it was motivating to lump a 140 lb deer out knowing that it was $1 dollar a pound and ones weekly wage was $20
