Well I am going to attempt to can some deer meat tomorrow morning. I had a friend do this a few years back and surprisingly it was good. Nice thing is you do not need to refrigerate or freeze it, just sit it on a shelf and it will last for years. The lady that told me how to do it said she opened a can from 3 yrs ago and it was just fine. Let me know if anyone is interested in how to do this and I will let everyone know how it turned out.
