Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Ole Stinky Buck Deer

Managed to kill an older white tail buck last Saturday.. Put 40lbs of him into stick, cut out the back straps for the grill and Mama put up 28lbs of canning meat.. Won't be any gamey taste in this batch. Will do a full 21 quart run on the next one and be stocked up for a good while. We've canned venison and beef almost every year for the last 36.. Still my favorite way other than the back straps..

The canner in this pic was made in Eau Claire WI in 1967, has a lifetime warranty.. A dear neighbor lady gave this to us many years ago when we were quite young. Other than a couple of gaskets it's still going strong 53 years later.. Hard to believe we used to make equipment like this, here in the good old USA. Oh and in full disclosure I shot it with a .270 in a Kimber God forbid!!!!
