Game Processing Equipment

...

What equipment do I need for processing game?
From quality knives to vacuum sealers, these supplies help simplify the process:

·         Game processing kit: Ensure you have the knives you need to get the job done with a game processing kit. These all-in-one sets come with several must-have tools, including a caping knife, skinning knife, boning/fillet knife, gut hook and gloves.

·         Meat lugs: As you break down your game into smaller pieces, meat lugs come in handy for a variety of tasks. Keep them nearby to sort and store cuts as you butcher, mix in seasonings or move your meat from the cutting table to the freezer.

·         Meat grinder: Grinders are a must for making everything from burgers to sausage and meatballs. A good mid-sized electric grinder will be the best option for most people, offering the perfect mix of efficiency and affordability.

·         Vacuum sealer: When it comes to preserving your meat, a vacuum sealer is the most effective way to prevent freezer burn and extend its shelf life. With an air-tight seal, your game will stay fresh until you’re ready to use it.

Once you have the basics covered, enhance your home setup with wild game processing equipment to suit all your needs—whether it’s a sausage stuffer, meat slicer, dehydrator or jerky gun.

What are the benefits of processing game myself compared to having someone else do it?
Processing your own meat is the most cost-effective option for avid hunters. An initial investment in deer meat processing equipment allows you to take on the task yourself and avoid professional processing fees. You’ll also have complete control of the meat, how it’s used and what goes into it at every stage.
