That’s awesome!

I haven’t canned meat yet. Need to try that at some point. My last 3 deer I’ve had processed because it’s easier (though an added expense) so it comes wrapped and I freeze it.

What do you plan to make with it? Or do you just use it as regular meat/for anything?

And as far as “weird meat” goes, I’ve enjoyed squirrel too. It was honestly great.

I’m on the lookout for opossum. But haven’t found a dinner for that lol - might have to hunt it.

Been reading a lot of frontiersman history, and they ate it all. Figure it’s worth trying.

Oh wow!

I need to get on the list for that. Only took one deer this year, and it was admittedly small.

Did you get much good meat off them?

Haven’t heard of that being an issue here! I know rabbits in warms temps can have something (I forget what).

But it tasted like a beef roast, had the texture of dark meat chicken. It was really nice. I was pleasantly surprised and would totally eat it again. We both cleaned our plates.

“Naturally harvested”

I’ve clearly had more than enough bourbon tonight.

They’re all naturally harvested.

I don’t know the exact logistics, but I imagine it’s a team effort of hunters and trappers.

I also think this dinner is pretty unique these days. 100+ years ago, raccoon was on many menus.

It might be both, but it was definitely on the plate!

It was! Good food and a great crowd.

Hit up the Danville Raccoon Dinner tonight.

A tradition for 83 years and absolutely delicious.

I kinda miss the biweekly “Joe Biden’s dog has savagely mauled another secret service agent” press release.

I hate when people ask me what I want for Christmas.

If I wanted it, I bought it.

If I didn’t buy it, you can’t afford it either 🥂

CIA interrogator: Did you make the Yuletide gay, answer me

Cheering when people can’t eat was never in the Bible.

Feeding them, however, is.

Good work!

Make sure to step outside and catch a glimpse of the full harvest super moon.

The last full moon before the frost comes 🌕

Y’all think I’m mean.

Wait till I don’t like you.
