In this episode we sit down with our very own Mike Ornoski and listen while he instills years of knowledge as it relates to processing your wild game.
There's nothing better than enjoying the meat from an animal you harvested and it all starts with proper planning, tools, and equipment to clean and process you game meat. Mike talks about what he uses in the field as well as tips and tricks to turn that whole animal into manageable pieces to pack out and process in the field or at home.
We hope you gain some knowledge from this episode and aren't overwhelmed the next time a cooler full of meat is starring you in the face. The more time you take to practice proper techniques will allow for more efficient processing.
