Just got a deboned pork butt of 10 pounds for $1.38 a pound, starting to cut up below. There was just a few ounces of waste I trimmed out. Some nice fat but not a whole lot; seems about right for sausage. In the case was another butt, with bone in and heavy skin on for $.76 a pound. I've...
Did that Little Wizzard detect even small shot, like #6 for example? Ive been looking for a reliable shot detector because of just what you said: dental costs!!
Headed to Florida last week to see family and was driving past Ft. Pierce where I knew from his posts that Rick Nepas is enjoying the winter with his wife in their big 5th wheel trailer. They invited us to drop by, and as you might imagine, I was very excited to see how Rick turns out one batch...
So few folks know how good squirrels are! I live in town and pick some off in my back yard when the neighbors aren't outside. Clean and eat them all in addition to those I hunt in the woods. I smoke and pressure can them; out camping and fishing it takes a couple minutes to have hot smoked...
