From what I know it is all about getting exposed to air, as long as it is frozen with no air intrusion it will not spoil, as time goes by it will not have the taste of fresher meat but it won't kill you. LOL
I once watched on TV one of those Discovery Channel shows about excavating Wooly Mammoths out of the frozen tundra of Siberia. One specimen was so well preserved that one of the crew cut off a slab of several thousand year old flesh cooked it and ate some of it. According to that tale it tasted fine and nobody got sick from eating it.

Tasted like Archaeopteryx!! Lol

If it’s ground, I make meatballs, taco meat, or meatloaf. If it’s not ground up, no matter what the cut of meat, I turn it into jerky. Never killed me and never a complaint.

Has anyone noticed there have been New Members joining since June ? I don't know what is going on . I haven't heard anything from Burmjohn or WNYBuckhunter in regards to this ...... Not seeing any posts from any new members . ???????????
Weird! On my phone it shows the newest member was in 2022. What’s up with that? I just checked again and it says Mikelicc in Feb 2022.

And a side note . . .
Some might wonder why I'm posting this story. It's a hunting and fishing site after all.
Point being I divorced my wife when my boys were 8 and 10 yrs old. Turns out she liked the neighbor's Italian sausage more than my German bratwurst. I fought for custody but the legal cards are stacked against fathers and I didn't get to spend a lot of time with my sons when they were growing up. The prime time to introduce them to the outdoors was limited for me and with all their other sports interests teaching them to hunt didn't happen. We do some fishing when we can but they're both busy now with their lives becoming strong young men. No regrets.
But we always try to find common ground and for my youngest and I its motorcycles. I hope this puts these posts in perspective.
Sharp bike! Nice job with the rebuild.
I don’t think you owe anyone any explanation here. Whether it’s shooting woodchucks or rebuilding vintage bikes, being a dad, and time spent with our kids is irreplaceable, and great to read about.

Cool! I Mus get into this myself. I think I have a trespasser under my chicken coop that needs this treatment.
Would you share about how much it would cost me to get outfitted for this. Can I get into this at some entry level without breaking the bank?
Thanks.

What???? I’m living the dark ages here. You mean to tell me you need to have a pistol permit to buy a semi auto rifle? What about semi auto shotgun?

All through the 90’s and early 2k’s, me and my uncle/hunting partner now gone, used to make 2 annual trips to their store in Binghamton. Just before fall we made the drive to stock up on more hang on stands, hunting clothes and anything else we might need or want for the upcoming season. In the spring we were back there for fishing and turkey season stuff. We really made a day of it. It was one of those things like the Syracuse outdoor show, boat shows, etc. that we just never missed going to together.
When they opened the Utica store we were excited to have them close to us, but still drove to Binghamton. Lol
I was stunned and saddened when Utica phased out anything to do with hunting. And even though I got the who gives a shit look from the manager at the time, I let them know my disappointment. It bums me out my uncle is no longer here, but I’m glad he was not around to see this, and the way similar things are trending.
I feel ya on this one Eddie.

The last batch I made was great! : ) So I bought six more and tossed them in the freezer. I plan to pickle 3 more today the same way, after doing some work today getting the garden ready for the new season.

Nothing more exciting than to go into swarming bees, and dropping them onto a nearby tree branch with loud noise.
Are you starting out with package bees? My first package I paid $17 for including shipping.
I'm going to join the local bee club, and sign up for their field training program. We will start with 2 hives and purchase nucs from one of the local people, so I know they are northern bees that are used to the climate. It will also support the local bee community and hopefully help ease their pain of my likely endless questions. lol

Our plan was to try to help the bees, while also helping pollinate our garden and my fruit trees. If we are able to get some honey as well it will be an extra benefit.
I found the speakers and everyone else at the class very friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to this new adventure. There is much to learn.

Well, it seems it fixed itself? Uh…ok! : )
By the way. I spent the entire day last Saturday in a beginners bee keeping class. Now that we have something of a handle on chickens, with our first season of successful hatching of chicks from our own flock, we are getting into bees. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Here I am at 65 just learning about the birds and bees! : )

For the sixth attempt, and now from my phone. Thank you fellas for the birthday wishes! : )
I just got a new computer the other day for my birthday and it worked great until tonight. Something went nuts with it so I’ll have to make an appointment with the IT people. Go figure! After 13 years with my old one, I finally updated and now this. Urghhh!
Thanks for remembering me!

I just set a swarm trap tonight I made last week it’s about 16 feet up in one of my ladder stands. Fingers crossed!
I have some trimming and leveling to do yet, but should be a good spot.
