Living Free In Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

It’s the first episode of 2019 and we had a wonderful week off. Today, I will talk through processing deer as well as share recipes along the way that we use. My independence fund got a huge boost last week in the form of venison. 40 pounds to be more specific. Processing it cost me $38 in supplies, of which I only used ¼, so that works out to $.23 cents a pound spent for $120 in meat (conservatively). Add to that the 6-8 quarts of deer stock I will be canning and it was a pretty big score! Concepts Skinning and gutting (How I learned to field dress)-- do not pierce the gallbladder! Quartering Tools & Knives Some Cuts Storage and Rigor Make it a great week.
