Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 2016 24 Hour Campfire Hog Hunt

I got my meat back from Uvalde last week. They did a real good job and the lady I dealt with was extremely nice. Everything was vacuum packed and in Styrofoam coolers with dry ice. The dry ice was all but gone, but the meat was still frozen. That's got to be the leanest pork I've ever had before.

Back strap.

Brian how much did it cost for the processing and shipping?
Seems like a long turnaround time?

I'm not sure about the shipping, it was about 60 lbs., but the meat was $285.00. The turn around was partially my fault. I got a new phone right before the hunt. She called me and left a message on Tuesday after we got home and I never got the message for another week when I figured out how to use this phone. They cut it up right away, but the sausage took another week. I thought it was long, but she said they were waiting for the sausage to get done. I had all three pigs done, but because they were small, I just had a roast off of each ham, the back straps, and then ground the rest. I had them make me 10 pounds of Italian, and the rest made into breakfast sausage. I've only tried that piece of back strap and the breakfast sausage so far. It's extremely lean and tastes great. It's probably expensive as far as pork is concerned, but we're probably set for a while. It's a fun thing to do. What the hell, it's only money. If you only knew what I'm getting ready to fork out to the governments, this money is like a grain of sand on a beach.

Hope it get's worked out as I really liked the place and would love to go back. Hopefully the issue's were mistakes and not intentional.

Charles,

thank you for citing this as I have totally missed it.

Dan, I honor your discretion and trust, you bring it to the attention of any known party to give the chance to make things right.

And if no known party - we should chip in. Why must you be saddled, I ask?

Thanks.

Dan, I'm sorry to hear there were issues you had to contend with. I hope everything comes out OK as Id like to be back there next year too...it was a grand time!

Agreed, I missed that post as well.

yep, let me know if I can help.

Ditto. Was a great getaway, and appreciate it takes some selfless legwork to get it arranged for all, so whatever we can do (or not do) that's helpful please let it be known.

Have a suspicion it was that damn vegetable-and-gourd-based adult beverage being passed off as "beer" that's the issue. That'll get you kicked out of a right proper establishment, alright. Blasphemers and philistines.

p.s.shipping was steep, but hey, the meat is great and the trip was memorable good fun.

Yep great trip. And let me know If we can help.You shouldnt have to take care of it.

Looks like a Rough crowd.

Just had another rack of ribs last night. They are good. Plan on shooting 3 more of the 60lbers next year. No more dinks or jumbos for me.

Mine were delicious. so good that the wife, who adores her father who in turn loves wild game, gave all the meat to hi. so I do not get to taste the gamut of various ways to marinate and stir fry wild pig in different Cambodian dishes. Maybe next year.

Thanks again guys for tolerating my family and treating them so well. I have a green light to go hunting because of you.

Glad you had fun and it was a pleasure meeting your family. I had my hogs made into brats and breakfast sausage. Very good.

Shot 4 on the hunt, but brought back 6. Go figure. Even after I gave a bunch away, it took me the good part of a day to put it all up..........



but its not all bad,



gave me a chance to play with some Ingrams




cook a little, and enjoy a beverage




or two.

Hope to see all you guys next go round
