Any recipe using a can or package of "Cream of ......" as an ingredient.
I thought that was a midwest thing. Growing up in a family of non-hunters that is how all gifted wild game was cooked. Now, I can’t stand it one bit. Ate a lot of my rabbits growing up like that too. What a waste.My dad is convinced all upland game birds have to be cooked to death in cream of mushroom soup. It's tragic.
Silver skin can be saved out, tossed in a small pot, boiled and used as the base for a light soup.Grinding any loin or backstrap is a sin. I also don't like adding any silver skin to my grind if I can help it. I try to trim as much as possible. I see a lot of people just throw it in their grind piles. I can't do it. To me, there is a taste difference that I just don't like.
I would like to nominate this man as a candidate for sainthood as an example to all the meat sinners.Thanks @Gerald for the tip. Tried that recipe with my wife’s WY lope from Saturday on the pellet grill at 225 tonight until it hit 125 and then a 10 minute rest. Delicious!View attachment 195272
Because if it’s wrapped properly it can last 5 years. And if it has a little freezer burn cut off and make a stew with it. I have regularly eaten meat that’s 3 or 4 years old. Fish is another story unless you glaze it but even then a 1 or 11/2 years is about max.i'd say the only sins are making a decision that results in meat not getting eaten/thrown away
do whatever you want with it, but eat all of it
People who let the meat sit in the freezer for 2 years, eat very little of it, and then chuck it in the garbage. Sad.
Meat doesn’t go bad in the freezer. I ate a 10 year old steak from a buddy’s freezer and it tasted fine.People who let the meat sit in the freezer for 2 years, eat very little of it, and then chuck it in the garbage. Sad.
I came here to say that: "Keep that can of Campbells cream-of-x away from my pheasants and grouse". I still have unpleasant flashbacks about eating mystery, chewy, industrial mushroom flavored goop for the entire months of November and December when dad would really get into the pheasants.Any recipe using a can or package of "Cream of ......" as an ingredient.
Wanton waste is the biggest sin by far IMO. I found this a few years ago on a western elk hunt down in one of the biggest hell holes I had been in. All 4 quarter bags and a trimmings bag were still strung up in the tree with the horns laying there as well. All that was left was bags of bones. View attachment 195204 My guess is that the hunter shot it and realized after quartering it that they would never get it out. That elk was literally shot and left to rot for nothing. I looked everywhere for a tag but couldn’t find one. I called it in to the warden and provided coordinates and pictures. No clue what happened after that.
I take the bones, silver skin, clean trim, etc. toss them in the pressure cooker with water, an onion, celery, and spices; then crank it up to 13 psi for 3 hrs and make bone broth. Whatever gets strained out then goes to the chickens who then turn it into eggs and chicken doodie.Throwing parts in the trash.
If you debone a hind in the field those bones will go back into the system, if you take them home and trash them they go into an anaerobic landfill.
I'm as 100% guilty of tossing silver skin in the trash and it kills me... I've been trying to be better about either composting or if not available chucking it in the woods.
2 years... its just getting good at that point, I pulled out some bou steaks from 2018 in July and they were amazing.

But the bone broth is main point.
Not properly dressing your kill in a timely manner, also over cooking1) Grinding Tenderloins.
2) Slow cooking any cut from along the backbone
3) Disposing of old meat from previous seasons in the freezer and not making sausage with it.
What do you consider "game meat sins"?
What a waste! Just absolutely disgusting!Yummy elk already marinated with natural ingredient from its environment.View attachment 195376
Exactly!! And I don't think that was even the worst piece. Absolutely takes forever to clean elk this dirtyWhat a waste! Just absolutely disgusting!
Cooking wild game steaks well done or over-done. Rare is the only way.1) Grinding Tenderloins.
