Thanks osky. Morgan has a big heart so helping out has always been natural for her. She has the same love of the outdoors as I do.
Rdfx- we hang the meat for a day then flip them all over. Hang for another day. Next we take them down and put them all in a bed sheet or fur bag and step on the pieces to crack them up and insure the inside is drying properly. After stepping we rehang for another day or two until completely dried. My kids would live on dry meat if we let them.

Pulled the beaver traps from the place I caught the two little ones. It looks like there is a flooded section of land at the other end of the lake so I値l go check that out another day. After pulling that place I went and checked the other house. Picked up one average size beaver in a snare. Walked further out and set a lot more traps and snares between the house and the feed pile so will be fun checking those. I知 seeing good fur sign now and really looking forward to some winter trapping. Nice set of wolf tracks down by one of the beaver houses. Going to try get his attention and see if I can set a couple traps for it. I threw a couple scraps out on the lake for the ravens to find. Once they start squawking I知 pretty sure the wolf will check it out. Fun fun! Moving stuff around this evening before the snow really comes and I値l skin the beaver later too.

That痴 a lot of meat! Nicely packaged, good job! So no need to cook that meat at all? Would I get sick if I ate it since I知 not use to it?
It looks really good!

No need to cook the meat jurassic. You won't get sick eating this stuff but keep in mind most people can't stop eating once they start, it's that good. I eat mine with a little becel margarine and seasoning salt but have no problem eating it plain too. We make grease from boiled caribou leg bones too which is the traditional topping for dry meat.

Sounds like what my grandfather would do.

His daughters thought he was being unhealthy and barbaric.

One of his favorite snacks was jerky and country crock. He'd use the jerky like chips and the crock like a dip.

That's a good one bushman, never heard that before.
Tweed- eating drymeat is like eating chips and dip. The meat is very lean unless you purposely leave fat on it. I don't care for fat on dry meat so we usually remove it.

Do you make drymeat out of bear Ryan?

Have never made bear dry meat. I've always heard bear needs to be cooked.

That's why I asked,I always cook bearmeat very well.I do a roast and let it cool then cut in thin slices with salt.It is like roast beef and good trail food.
