Call it greedy, many do, I “really” don’t care. But I feel compelled to address a couple assumptions.
First being the 250# number. You are actually quite low. There are 3 to 4 of us every year that team up and hunt about 150 acres of woods. It depends on if the old geezer is up to sitting out in his blind. We each strive to fill our tags, we paid for them. Usually we end up in the 800 to 1000# pound range of processed meat.
The second assumption I feel needs to be addressed is the “one family” one. My kids are grown (5 in total). Couple buddies have 3 or more left at home, odd man usually is usually an old geezer, wife long gone (as in dead), but we do occasionally add in a young’n or two now and then. Generally we process out like this;
1/4 harvest is made into summer sausage / trail baloney – lip smackin good stuff. 1/4 harvest is made into hamburger – Used in anything not between buns. 1/4 harvest in stew meat – Well it speaks for itself, stew. 1/4 harvest (if a good age) is made into steaks with the remainder being hamburger that is made into jerky.
That meat is generally divided up between the 3 to 4 of us, a landowner, couple non hunting friends, and quite a few family members. So I (we) are not just hunting for ourselves. We are providing meat to at lest a dozen folks who really like us being greedy.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
