Would love to try this but have 2 bags labeled roast but they probably only about a pound each if that. I guess I need to start hunting. Wish you could just give someone a tag and let them get a deer for you!
I need to get back to hunting as well!
Since 2011, excluding 2020 and 2021, I've been doing paid hunts at MLD properties (Trophy Ranches). The MLD property lets you use THEIR tags! They collect info and supply data about their animal populations to the state and the state issues them hundreds of tags that they allow to be utilized by ANY hunters. These tags do NOT count against your personal tags. I take 5-7 deer a year this way :)
I don't trophy hunt, I just meat hunt and they charge like $100-$150 per meat deer (does and spikes) and you use their tags. They are often eager to do this because they manage the land and amount of animals and each year have remove tons of deer to keep their herd healthy and ensure the animal to land ratio makes sense for supporting all of their animals. Since trophy hunters only want trophy animals, these properties have to remove the other deer themselves... and they love letting meat hunters like me buy hunts early in the season or late in the season.
The cost after trip cost, animal cost, and tip comes out less then may paying for a lease AND I can knock all of my hunting out over 3-5 days and fill my freezer :D
I've really enjoyed these hunts so much more since I don't have time to fool with a lease and then miss time from work to keep it up for hunting. I get in/out and can do so when I take 2 weeks vacation each year.... when I would take 2 weeks vacation pre-pandemic lol.
Oh, many times a place will force you to shoot pigs or coyotes on sight if you see them. It helps them manage the land and if they do, they often give you the pigs at no cost. Gotta love free wild pork :D
You can....it's called crop deprivation tags. But you have to know the farmer to get them...
Man if I knew one I'd be all over it. People in TX hardly want you on your land for anything and even when you lease it from them to hunt they are often still a pain in the ass. This is another reason I love doing my meat hunts on MLD properties.
People won't even let others on their land to shoot the freaking feral hogs that are destroying everything. Not sure I can blame the land owners in many cases. Lots of idiots, nut jobs, and plain ignorant folks are out there that don't have proper understanding or respect for firearms. I'd hate for them to be on my land firing high powered rifles without regard for what they are doing.
Wow I didn't even know this was a thing. Looks absolutely delicious and on my short list! Outstanding
Yeah it's awesome sandwich meat! I took a recipe I found making "pastrami brats" and turned it into this sandwich meat concoction :D
Next time I try it, I will use NFDM as my binder in the correct amounts and see if I can solve the freeze and defrost quirk were the meat wants to tear up more easily than I want.
Make it and I bet you will not be disappointed :D
