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!!!!

Canned and sticks/jerky/sausage is the way to go, its what I do. Nice looking batch

Very nice! What recipes are your favorite for the canned?

Beef and noodles, soup, mashed potatoes with the canned meat poured on them is hard to beat

BBQ sandwiches are also tast.

So no gamey flavor once canned?

Hot pack or raw?

Just salt or something else?

Very cool. Just finished up a batch myself.

job well done

A .270? Really? Almost as amazing as a U S made canner. 😁

Lol. Yep. The .270 managed to pull it off in spite of itself.

The canning process eliminates the gamey flavor in my opinion. We took beef and noodles to church potlucks for many years that were 100 pct venison and never brought any left overs home lol. Those folks had no clue.

Pack the curbed, cut meat into the jar up to the neck, add a teaspoon of canning salt and cook for one hour at 15 lbs.

I wonder would this work on Gamey MULE DEER??? I have Several opportunities to kill one around here but heard they are not etible suggestions welcome .

If you put deer in a cooler covered in ice that is salted, drain the water off every day for 4 or 5 days. It will be much less gamey tasting.

Do you fill the jar with water after you pack with meat and put the salt on?

It will make its own juice, no water needed.
