Some great advice here guys, I sure do appreciate the guidance.

That's a good thing to know about when to use beef vs. pork fat and the relative percentages. I had no clue. I also didn't realize you could use hamburger without fat in sauces and chili. I'm not much of a cook, so I just didn't know that kind of thing. Makes sense though. I'm making some chili on Sunday for my girlfriend who has never eaten deer before. So yall wish me luck.

Keeferfish, I'm glad you chimed in with that comment about the jerky gun. I was talking to a buddy of mine just this weekend about it. He said the same thing about how easy it is to clean up as Crappie Buster. Said it seems to take to seasoning better too. I was thinking about trying one too. I'll let you know how it goes if I get one.

Hey Mudbug, not a thing going on with me bud. Just doing a little hunting here and there and trying my hand at this processing.

What about you? Been hunting at all or just fishing?
