Of venison/beef sticks... I speed packaged my mule deer last season because I was short on time, so now I??ve thawed out a few chunks and mixed in a tip steak from our beef- they tend to run a bit tough so this is a good option. marinating now . Too good for y??all- just right for me - working up about 8 pounds worth or $120 worth- how ever you want to look at it...
Yup.?ÿ From what I've heard that venison can be unbelievably expensive once you figure in all of the true costs.
The $15/ pound for jerky was an estimate based on when I bought some at Costco last fall. The actual cost of hunting is just something not to be discussed.... besides memories are priceless
In the dehydrator now- see how it is in the morning- I debated smoking them in the Traeger but decided to save my pellets- Costco is out and Murdoch??s charges the same amount for 2/3 size bag- ( I know Support the little guy- I did - Mrs File bought 2 bags from there a week ago.
Not really, I could take out one a day from my back porch, 1 hour to butcher, 3-4 days to age, 1 hour to grind and or place in freezer bag.
The cows in my pasture require much more expense, time and effort.
OOOOH YEAAAAAHHH!!!!!

Here's my Son doing his first batch after his first deer.?ÿ You're right, priceless!

I don't know about any of y'all but I'll take having a freezer filled with moose roasts and burger and a couple dozen salmon over all the TP in Los Angeles. To all those hoarders I say, "Let them eat their toilette paper."
Ended up with 31.5 oz dried weight- 9 year old is ready to eat it all today...
