Getting Intimate With Your Meat

No, this is not a steamy relationship advice vlog. We’re talking about nutrition here.
So a very big important part of this whole hunting thing is processing. I want to make sure that I respect the animals life and use as much of the animal as possible. If done properly, you can utilize pretty much every piece of the animal in some way, shape or form and there are many angles and secrets that I hope to learn and apply to achieve this.
This video includes my first attempt at wild game processing. I processed the turkey breast and one thigh in the field. I did the rest of the processing and bagging at home.
As anyone who has experienced it can tell you, it is such an amazingly gratifying and rewarding blessing to be able to prepare a meal for your family from an animal that you harvested. I am very happy knowing everything about the nourishment my family and I will be benefiting from as I continue to hunt.
I have also cured the tail fan for mounting and wings to make arrow fletchings for my traditional bow, which is a whole new adventure I look forward to sharing.
I highly recommend a vacuum sealer if you don’t already have one. I was lucky enough to be able to borrow one from my mother-n-law (thanks Paula). The meat has been in my deep-freezer for 2 weeks and I can tell that the freshness is still intact.
