    That feeling of the harvest and filling your freezer full of food you prepared there is no better feeling ...hunting actually saved my life from a bad drug problem....pat

    Great idea with the tilted cooler! We always used 2 large wash tubs and transferred the meat back and forth as the ice melted, your way is MUCH easier! 👍

    Hi Tim thanks for sharing your processing of your Gain it was great to see. And very informative aswell as your thoughts of how 🤔 much rewarding it can be. Not having to pay for someone else to do it. Really falls under having a sustainable lifestyle. Blessings to you and your family from our family Homestead to yours. God bless

      Chari, many people do not like venison because it wasn’t aged and prepared correctly. Tim grilled blackstrap and tenderloin last night and it was so good! No gamey taste at all.

    You may have just got me into hunting the early part of season. I usually won’t start until temps maintain around 38-45 ish. I dry age in the barn and any air temp over 38 is bad. But that 3’ long salmon cooler may come in handy
