    Ha while we're waiting for Butch to grill his steak I discovered a little tid bit I never knew . Acorns are the prefered diet of eastern white tail deer .White oak acorns are prefered over red oak or bur oak because having less tanic acid content they are sweeter .The time they drop from the...

    Aging Beef

    It's my understanding that the native American peoples ate them in some form . Henry David Thoreau mentioned making a flour from acorns in his work Walden pond .Which was supposed to be an account of him living in a hollow oak tree near some pond in Massachusetts I think . Another work of...

    I hear you can roast acorns and they are edible .I've never tried but they say the great big ones from like burr oak are the best .Some times depending the northern red oak has some large acorns too .

    Aging Beef

    I don't eat much pork, some though .Cured ham etc is one thing but because it spoils so fast I'm not sure a person would dare actually age pork as such .The thought of food posioning doesn't appeal to me .

    Aging Beef

    You have to feed a hog grain period .They only have one stomach and can't digest forage .They can process roots etc which is why they "root " .In the wild they eat acorns and things like that ,seed type stuff .Actually anything that won't eat them first truth be known .Especially fond of snakes .

    Aging Beef

    I imagine just like beef the diet has a lot to do with what the meat tastes like . Deer are browers like a goat and it doesn't help any that hunting season just happens to coincide with breeding season .There you are those bucks all hyped up with testosterone it's no wonder some are rather...

    I just about grew up eating venison .Those Colorado muleys were probabley hanging at least a week before we cut them up .The meat was tender but sage brush and pine needle fed mule deer bucks are a tad "gamey " . I've had of course plenty of venison,antelope and elk ,buffalo .Never had moose...

    Aging Beef

    For some reason 21 days has always been the standard .I remember as a teenager seeing beef hung with cheese cloth cover it while it aged in a cooler . I don't that much about the actual aging but I was 7th in the state of Ohio in the FFA meat judging contest as a sophmore in high school .Whew...
