Meat Game Style

Meat game in most instances is meat from animals that are free range.  These animals roam from the property of one land owner to the next, foraging for food.  Meat game can consist of different types of fowl to the four-legged type of animal.

Anything that runs wild and doesn’t have to be taken care of by a human is wild game.  That doesn’t mean we want to eat all of them, but they are there if we do.  One example is squirrel meat game.  Some people love to eat squirrel, but others consider it beneath them to eat something that looks more like a rodent.

There are certain seasons of the year that make it legal for licensed hunters to shoot and kill free range animals, and that my friend is our favorite time of the year.  Hunting Season!

Hunting season brings with it outdoor mania, with guns, knives, and even the quiet bow and arrow. It is the time of year people can get food for their families and enjoy the outdoors at the same time.  Meat game always taste better than store bought, because you brought it to the table yourself!

Other Ways to Get Meat Game

There are some places that kill and process meat game to sell.  They kill, process, and offer it up in a retail outlet.  Some people want the meat game, but prefer to know where it was raised and what it was fed.  They also don’t like to hunt in most cases.

There are also places where you can pay a fee to go and hunt game.  These places are usually stocked with elk, deer, antelope, hogs, turkeys, and other normally free range animals.  You pay a fee for what you want to kill and are allowed to kill only that animal.

Many people prefer hunting, but like knowing the animals are fenced in and can’t go far.  Others feel this takes some of the sport out of hunting meat game, but, everyone has an opinion on that.

Meat Game is Not Inspected

Unlike meat you buy at the grocery store, meat game is not inspected by the government.  The Department of Agriculture is not required to, so they don’t.  In the States, meat can be inspected by a state agency if you want to legally sell the meat.

This means it is very important to know if the meat is inspected if you purchase from a place that sells it retail.  The safest route

you can take is to hunt and process your own meat.  That way you know exactly how the raw meat was handled, and how clean the processing area was.

The next time you think about filling your freezer with meat, think about getting some meat game.  You will be happy you did!

Hi I wanted to have an article on game processing using and explaining the tools. After hunting 30 years and processing most all my own game I wanted to share what I found worked for me. The tools I used were just what ever we could get or already had in the kitchen. Most families in the country had a meat saw for cutting their beef or pork. it is also something they would not lend out for many reasons.

Most used the Old Hickory butcher knives. The reason was they were easy to work with cheap to replace and easy to sharpen. Truth is they still are great knives for the price, for all the same reasons.

I now have changed to the Milwaukee one handed reciprocating saw as a meat saw for most uses.Get the right blades, the longer blades with course teeth.

I did not have the reciprocating saw until the last 15 years but I sure wished they made the one handed saw for a lot of reasons. I would take this out camping now just for every thing. It is light easy to use and can cut anything. I have cut steel with it and it works great for meat.

I know for cutting deer a hand saw is easy enough. When I started looking down the spine of a moose and thinking ripping it in half then doing t-bone and chops you are looking of two sides seven feet long. I was thinking it looked like a full days cutting with a hand saw. With a good reciprocating saw one hour tops. This is doing the game processing at home in the kitchen or in the shop if we had one clean enough.

We used a hand grinder until after the first moose. I had decided that was more ignorance than I could Bear. We had no money for a commercial grinder. What we did have was a lot of redneck junk to salvage parts from. I went to garage sales until I found a Porkert 10 hand grinder. I took the handle off and chucked it. I went and found the right size v-belt pulley off the back of an old clothes dryer. I rigged it onto the grinder where the handle was. It took some imagination but it worked well.  The first motor I used came from a wash machine then the best power source I could afford. It was one third horse power not really enough but it worked. I am not sure what old car or shed we found a short v-belt I just know we never bought anything like that. I made a box to mount this on out of two by six  board in about a two foot square. I used a finished one side three quarter plywood board for the top. This worked because it is still strong enough and I had to cut a slot into the plywood for the dryer pulley to get it to set on top. Did I tell you I used my power saw to cut the slot for the pulley? Well I thought You would have guessed!!

The total cost was the time it took to find the junk and build it. We ground over a ton of burger with this motor before I found a one horse electric motor. Then it pulled to hard and killed the grinder which was never really made to be motorised. By this time twenty years later I had built three meat grinders. I had one stolen and finally conceded the job to the local butcher. My butcher has an excellent set of sausage recipes so it killed the idea of doing our own. That and the fact I am getting old and lazy.

I would now set up with a commercial grinder like the LEM product one horse. The reason for the size is it would last and is a product that you can get all the attachments for sausage making. It has a high cost but you can get it back just processing your own cuts of beef or pork. Just buying the cheaper cuts and grinding them would save every time. One other idea is you could process your own dog food with a machine like this if you wanted . I am going to add to this post as I remember all the stuff we used.

By Bruce : PS If you have any ideas on building stuff that worked well use the contact and I can post them for others.
