Deer Meat

 

The whole point of our recent hunting trip was to fill the freezer with deer meat. And in that we were very successful.  Each of us ended up with about 75 pounds of packaged deer meat for the freezer - around 225 pounds total. All but one of the 5 deer we harvested was on the big side, and even the 'small one' was pretty big.

On these remote hunting trips we try and take very good care of the meat.  We bring along a tent that is specifically for sheltering the meat (see above).  We also bring along a lot of extra cotton game bags, and we changed the meat bags often to keep the meat dry. On this trip we also brought extra dry bags so that we could keep the meat dry during transport.

Keeping the meat cool, clean and dry is a lot of work!

If you look closely you can see deer!
