What is your opinion of the best” way to store meat? Over the years, we have all heard, “if things get bad, I’ll just shoot a deer and feed my family.” In my area, deer are abundant, but not as abundant as people. As deer season approaches, I am considering harvesting a couple myself, but keeping in mind long-term storage, freezing would not be the best idea IMHO (power disruptions). That leaves canning. Has anyone had successes in canning meat? How long does canned meat last? Also, is there another long-term consideration? Is there a good source for learning this information; book, website, etc. Thanks for your input.

The best 8 or 9 dollars you can spend if you're considering canning anything. I've been canning most of my life (started helping my mom when I was about 7 or 8 years old...and, yes they did have fire back the LOL).Originally posted by protus View Post"Common sense might be common but it is by no means wide spread."

We canned in the 60s and 70s. There was always corn, beans, tomatoes and soup mix on the shelf. We usually used it within 3 years. We never canned meat though. What is the shelf life of canned meat typically?Comment

You can get several answers on the web including up to 10 years. I usually use the meat within 3 years. I don't consider home canned goods LTS...but an alternative to store-bought. With the home canned, I know what's going into it and where it came from (I buy from known, local growers)."Common sense might be common but it is by no means wide spread." Mark TwainComment
