How y'all looking?

Gettin pretty low, got alotta coho, king and halibut. Red meat season is about here👊🏻

New freezer being delivered tomorrow. I’m going to need it. Staying positive.

Got to bring mine over to the new place and probably going to buy a new upright soon. Holding out hope that between me and my son we can fill two with hogs and deer this winter.

Hell yes!

I think if I had that much in the freezer last week of August I'd be concerned.

End of 21-22 Hunting season Rio7

Rio,
How many people do you feed?

Freezer pics trump all others! 💪

I love fiddling around with guns but when I open the freezer…. That warm fuzzy feeling just goes all over me!

Long live red meat!

Eye of round is often ground up into burger which should be a Federal crime-

We are about 1/2 way through ours, which is about where we should be, might be a bit behind. I need to do another grind session.

devnull, We fill all 15 ranch hands freezers, and their family's that live close by, then we give meat to 2 church's we give non processed meat carcasses to that are dressed and skinned, and about 10-12 does to 2 old lady's that make the best Tamales in the World, they bring us 25 dozen, and sell the rest, i don't know how many Tamales they can make with 1 doe but, when ever they want meat we give it to them in return for Tamales, we have hunters that will eat 10-15 Tamales a day.

Still working on 2 moose and a whitetail from last year. Canned 20 quarts of chili today to use up some of the moose burger. Probably do 2 more batches if that.

Mines looking pretty sparse aside from all the Walleye/crappie we’ve put up this spring. We’re down to our last 15-20lb of deer and elk from last fall, just like we like it since season starts Oct1 here.

I’m wheels up for AK moose a week from now. So if that works out I’ll bring a Hindquarter and backstraps home. Then onto our normal 2 deer and an elk or 4 deer to get us through the year. If things got Great Depression tight I’d have no problem feeding us on wild pigs since I’ve left about 50 of them for the buzzards since last winter.

That’s awesome Rio. This tamales sounds good. I’ve never had them.

Kid, if it comes down to SHF, we can live off pigs also. Rio7

Only 1 freezer? How does one get by?

Mine is getting worked down. I will have enough to last well into hunting season which is mid November thru Early Feb. i will put a good dent in it when I start precooking and freezing meals for camp. Probably a lot chili , pasta sauce and taco meat.

mine is just about where it should be this time of year.

I’ve got 3 freezers usually 1.5 hold game but bought my first little bit of hamburger in a couple of years yesterday- got a funny look from my wife then she remembered we were out of elk burger.

Rio we did about a 250 lb boar in the deep pit then turned it into tamales - agree best boar we’ve ever had.

We have 2 freezers also. One for meat and one for odds and ends and produce. 30 quarts of blueberries, about 10 each of peaches and raspberries. Working on elderberries now. Picking every 3 days, 5lbs per Picking.
Could use another freezer.
