Thread: Processing game to avoid food poisoning

How to make rabbits into a tasty meal, shoot a few hundred then sell them for dog food and buy a steak from the butcher.

People go crazy on the refrigeration aspect. Easy access to refrigeration is a relatively new thing, people got on without it for the most part before the 1900's.

Yes, meat will spoil if left out in the hot sun where bacteria, parasites and vermin can get at it, but leaving it in the shade and a slight breeze will do wonders vs. chucking it directly in a bag or getting it wet.

There is a reason why venison farming is not a big industry vs. cattle and sheep, as it's crap meat by comparison.

Deer fat won't render and thus you can't cook it in it's own fat.
