The key to decent venison is to get it dry and cold as soon as possible.
2-4 hours from the kill.
Otherwise it tastes like crap, like any other meat would.
I have fled a couple invasions. Sandpoint Idaho. Gone. Boise. Gone. Nothing but Cali Sprinter vans clogging every single campsite along the Salmon river. Anything west of the Rockies is getting gobbled up as soon as it hits the market. Firs house I bought 20 years ago in a sleepy lumber town was $40,000. I saw it was listed for $850,000 now.
Worse than you think:
The fl monkeys I knew about, they’re mostly confined in silver spring state park with the usual suspects braying whenever anyone wants to get rid of them. The state contracted to remove 1000 of them a couple of years ago, but the animal lovers got that shut down before they could get them all. I didn’t know about the SC monkeys.
Love that Animal Planet program called Lone Star Law along with North Woods Law and now Louisiana Law.......
We fled Ca 20 years ago to a location in Az that was/is still extremely conservative “so far”. But we are already set up to make another move soon to a very remote bugout property in the mountains. We are going Galt ASAP while we can.
Depends. You need to get it gutted and cooled down pretty quickly, I’ve always done it myself.
Thanks. I love a good Thailand? every now and then.
Vension filet warpped in bacon can’t beat it.
That may be true up North but not down here in the Deep South. It will never be that cold.
If what you say is true, all our meat would be awful. It isn’t.
Still, in the older times that once were, most butchering happened in the late Fall. I think though that was because there’s less green forage in the Winter and providing grain and hay would cost folks too much.
As far as game goes, it’s deer or turkey and over the past few decades, wild hogs. Deer are shot in the annual early Winter rut, and turkeys in the Spring. Hogs are shot year round.
Get the carcass to the locker.
simply because these animals have no natural predators there either.....Ford F150 at 80 MPH fills the freezer.
Venison Ping...
Can you eat the feral hog meat? Some folks say it’s good if well-prepared, and others wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole.
You certainly can. Young ones 75 pounds and under are fine eating. The bigger hog’s eat OK also but I prefer the younger ones for grilling.
If she fawns in January or February she can get pregnant and fawn again before the year is over. The key is them breeding year round unlike whitetails which breed in the fall. Here in west TX the rut starts around the first to second week in November. We’ve got new fawns on the ground right now.
as a Native American, I laugh my ass off at white people that dont like “gamey” meat. you want cow, go to the store. I also have friends that wont eat wild duck because of gamey. that is the purpose of us hunters, get GAME. game is gamey.
