On the rare occasion that I buy ground beef 93% is what I look for. It probably evens out in the long run, after cooking it all of that grease gets thrown out anyways.

The local social media marketplace had packaged hamburger listed for $5 a pound the last time I noticed....local mom & pop butcher shop. That's been a month or two ago. It had been $4 for a number of years.

We quit hamburger about 7 years ago. When I retired and moved back home to northern MN, we started filling the freezer with venison from our property. We buy pork fat during the year (oftentimes bacon ends) and mix that in with the venison since it is so lean. We process it ourselves, make sausage, etc. $35 for a deer tag plus the cost of the pork fat. Inexpensive meat but great-tasting and we know what goes into it.

I thank God every season that my wife was raised by a hunter . We process about 4 Deer every year and grind around 70 lbs of burger . We leave it pure venison in the package and the wife adds pork or my favorite “ Jimmy Dean “ before she cooks it . This year we might have to add a few more to the freezer! Hunting when everyone participates is a great family time ! And you get to enjoy not spending 8$ per lb.

My wife and I have been married 20 years, raised 2 kids, and have never bought ground beef. We all prefer ground venison, which I can usually get for under $ 1 per pound, after subtracting all input costs (hunting license, ammo, food plot fertilizer, and fuel).

Not only is that “free range” venison cheaper than I could raise beef, but we all like the taste better, and it is certainly healthier.

The bag limit on deer in our area is (5) antlerless and (2) antlered. We get all the grind we need from 3 or 4 average sized ones per year. The state made a few changes last season that made the harvests much easier (early September antlerless gun season, extra half hours of hunting time before sunrise and after sunset, and they started a new late winter muzzleloader season.

I paid .20 cents for the 16 gauge shotgun slug that killed that buck last year and it made over 90 pounds of boneless meat. We can’t wait for venison tacos for dinner tomorrow.

Why did you gut shoot him with your .020 cent slug?

Why did you gut shoot him with your .020 cent slug?

Slug passed well forward of guts. A tree was blocking his front end so I put that slug a bit further back than I would have preferred but it still passed forward of the diaphragm and put him down after a 50 yards sprint.
One advantage of a far back double lung shot like that is that very little useable meat is destroyed, which keeps the dollars per pound lower.

I just roasted a tri tip for sandwich meat. It costs the same as bologna and there is no mystery meat or strange chemicals in it.
