Bulletins Available for Hunters

Gun hunting season for deer starts at dawn on Saturday, November 18th. Below are a couple of great bulletins available from UW-Extension that will be helpful to hunters who shoot deer this weekend.
The first bulletin is titled Canning Meat, Wild Game, Poultry & Fish Safely. This publication explains how to safely can a variety of meats. Beef, pork, lamb, poultry, fish and wild game animals and birds can be safely canned at home with good results – provided you start with properly handled meat, wild game, poultry and fish and carefully follow the processing guidelines in this booklet.

 The other publication is titled Wisconsin’s Wild Game: Enjoying the Harvest. The information in this publication is intended to help you process, store and use Wisconsin wild game meats as part of regular family meals or for special occasions. Advice on keeping the meats safe to eat and shortcuts in handling are included to help you avoid wasting a valuable wild resource.

Both of these publications are available from your county UW-Extension Office or the UW-Extension Learning Store. There is a nominal fee for each of these publications
