we have nowhere to hunt. so we raise and butcher our own. anywhere within 6 hours of my location that you could reserve/pay to hunt costs a minimum... MINIMUM, of $25,000/gun. there is no point in that & "canned hunts" are stupid. I don't need a trophy, I already have one, shown picrel. we only care aboot meat.

wife does all of our slaughter & butcher. I help hang the carcass. she calls me when it's time to bring in the meat. I do any salt/smoke preservation. I will build uusan aging/smoking house this winter. so far we quarter and age in the beer fridge, and i smoke in a convered steel barrel with a 3" pipe to a smoke chamber.

she wants a meat band saw for Solstice. currently, she does it all with field knives & her Ryobi recip.

Does Anon approve?
