The respect, care, integrity and love you put into the animal that's been harvested, well, is just amazing! We should all strive to harmonize, love and respect where our food comes from. Your channel, your voice, your vision is something I know I want to achieve.

My nephew in Maine got a moose 22 yrs ago and offered the head to use to mount in our log home over our fireplace. We paid a taxidermist and it came out beautiful! I call him Jack because he shot it in Jackman Maine. We live in NH. I also had a few moose steaks and after we hung the moose over the fireplace I cooked them up . They were delicious!👍🏻 congrats to Hunter and thank you for another fantastic video.

This was awesome! My family processed our deer meat together. My dad and brother cut it up and my mom trimmed it. It was my job to wrap and mark it. We didn’t have the equipment to make sausage, so that meat went to the processor along with hog meat. This was all 60 years ago! I’m glad to see that some family traditions continue.

Great job Hunter and Mark !! It’s a job packaging fresh meat !! My Dad was a big game hunter when I was a child in Illinois! He did the processing himself for many years .. and it was a gathering of family to process his hunts. Our family’s would all get together and process the killing of Hogs, chickens, fish when they caught a load ... and we had a huge garden we canned and froze stuff out of ! A lot of memories made , even though I was a child I still remember it .. we would have to crank the grinder for hog meat . Everett was so proud he was the Cranker .. It’s a lot of work , but rewarding when your meal is ready ! Thank You for this Lauren .. it’s very interesting to watch ! Blessings to you all !

Good job Hunter. We just ate a venison roast that was 2 years old. It was wrapped in vacuum seal plastic wrap. It was just like it was done yesturday. You won't be disappoint if you use your your vacuum machine. It's a, lot of work as you know.

It takes talent to cut meat into certain cuts and know what cuts are what. I wouldn't know! Congratulations Hunter! Great that the family even little Garret can do this together. The boys will carry on this tradition into adulthood for their future families. God is good to provide. 🙏

Hi again. I have been watching Marks show, and one after another, they get there bear, deer, carabo( great show) and now moose. After watching all of them, I should not have even questioned if they would get a moose. No Custco meat for you. So happy for you. I know the feeling of hearing a hunt went well, and I had venison in the freezer. Great jpb Hunter.

Lauren, I thought it was so charming that you were sewing the bags for Moose in your Turban. It was just a Sweet Momma on the run to get the last details sorted before the Big Day began. I am hooked watching the Processing Vlogs. I bet it is a great relief to see your Meat Supply. And Your Champion Hunters and Gatherers "the Italian Stallion", Mark and your "Master Catcher" Hunter, what a Thanksgiving for All the Family and Friends that will partake in its offering. I love that your whole Family has a role, and it looks like besides the long labor, that you have a great time. I can't wait to see what you will make. Already we have seen a new dish, love it. I was able to go in with my Family on a Cow for the first time. The meat is so fresh. It is such a good feeling to know, it is all there and paid for. No debating what to get in the ever price fluctuating economy. Meat is so full of water at the grocery store lately. It is a blessing to experience what fresh meat tastes like. I just love the Hamm Family. I enjoy everything you let us come along with. I am hungry

There's no Swedish Christmas without meatballs. I used to make "Rudolph-balls" with reindeer meat, but that's so hard to come by nowadays (at least where I live) so now I use moose meat. I was lucky enough to find some yesterday. The price has gone up so I payed about $35 for 4,4 lbs. I guess we'll have to look at every meatball in awe before eating it this Christmas.
