Hunting season in New York. Much joy is brought by getting the deer and then filling the freezer. We save money if we have the time to process it ourselves which means skinning it, cutting it, and grinding it up into burger. Robert is grinding here, you cant see the machine behind his right corner but the bowl shows it all ground up ready to go into ziplock bags and into the freezer.

Before you can grind it you have to cut it into pieces so i am working hard at this. Do i enjoy this, not to much but it saves a lot of money and we use burger alot in the house so it all works out and you know Robert and i are in the kitchen spending time together and the kids see us doing things together and understand the whole circle of hunting and what happens after they are shot. You should all be grateful i didnt take pictures of the deer in the truck or hanging from the tree in the back yard.

Robert starting the cutting process. We have 2 deer in the freezer, 1 we had a company process and the other we did. i am happy with that amount of meet in the freezer but would be ok with at least 1 more.
