Hound dog
Nana's are Beautiful
Mom2odd, easy child and I have firmly decided we're going in together next year on both a cow and a pig. Somehow we just didn't get around to it this year. But prices on meat are vastly cheaper if you can manage to do it that way. Wish I knew someone to sell me chicken......but our local market sells chicken from local amish and they're always cheaper than the other chicken such as tyson you see, not to mention free range and taste better, so I pick them up.
sister in law also wants to learn to hunt. Unfortunately he doesn't really know anyone who hunts. And the only person I know who hunts is in Virginia, so that is no help. lol He fishes, but as far as I know he only tosses them back. I fish, but do the same thing. The lake where I grew up.......fishing was a sport, you didn't dare eat them, you'd get very sick from all the nitrates in the water. So I never learned to clean them, seen it done but is not the same thing. I'd like to know how so as not to have a zillion bones to contend with, especially catfish my favorite.
I did pick up easy child a food dehydrator for xmas, one that doesn't require electric to use, bit more expensive but will save her some money in the long run. I'm thinking about getting one for myself......but I can't chew dried fruit and need to ask someone if the dried veggies soften with cooking. Because if they don't......it wouldn't do me a lot of good.
