Life in Southeast Alaska

Finished with the Front Quarter

After dinner tonight, Rod and I finished trimming the meat.  The majority of this will be burger, but the shoulder meat we cut into stew meat.  We ended up with 28 pounds of meat.  So we are up to 70 pounds total so far.  Tomorrow I will work on our final piece, the hindquarter.  We've been guessing how much more meat there will be...  I think the sirloin tip roast weighs at least 30 pounds!  If we get another 55 pounds out of the hindquarter, that will make 125 pounds total meat.  Spread over the next year, that gives us about 2 1/2 pounds per week.  Not too bad!

How awesome to have all that meat stored. I wonder if you totalled all the costs from hunting.....licenses, extra gear purchased, gas, etc. how much it would come out to costing per pound. Now there's something for you to do on one of your long winter nights this year!!!
