Caleb is growing up with us... Pretty soon we'll have a Caleb Adventures segment. Nothing better than seeing him pat Daddy on the back.....When your youngest is proud of you, You are doing it right. Thanks for sharing
Good morning Micah 💚 I bet that was mouth watering good ! I can say that with confidence because of how David and Caleb were reacting and eating it up. Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures.
That turned out good by the taste testers, and it sure looked good on video. Venison will always surprise on the multitude of different ways it can be preserved and eaten. Love it and have a great day all.
Looks like it turned out really good ! We made a bunch of jerky out of some deer and it didn't last any time . Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day !
Stop talking while I'm interrupting haven't heard that one since my uncle passed already knew about that great way to process deer meat 🐝👌 love the harmonica in that music
Oh and a nice bit of rye bread is excellent with it. Guinnies and tricycle motors, once they get started, rarely do they stop. 😆 His channel we will call, Caleb in color. 😆
I know how good this was. Back in the day our Sonny's BBQ would smoke deer meat for 24 hours for the customers for $20. I bought a deer butt and smoked it for Thanksgiving. My family went nuts for it. So tender And tasted like ham. Really miss my hunter friends😥good video, never stop hunting 😁👋 later
No I have a construction company and this family farm……. It’s a miracle I can consistently put out three new videos every week, no seminars here……. But I think I make my videos clear enough that people can do the things I’m teaching!
Was this regular salt???? Was this "cure"? Is this cold smoked? what is the temp in your smoker? Sorry for the questions I am a mere babe to smokin. Thank you sir.
Ibwas always under the impression cold smoked meat needed cooked before consuming. Have you ever done brine curing and cold smoked whole deboned deer hind?
I was multi-tasking, did you say what temp to get the meat to in the smoker? Also, how long can this go without refrigeration? Thanks! Love the videos.
If you can arrange for them to have it on hand I’m sure you could! When you know when you’re coming I’ll give you their number and you can get the ball rolling!
@McGie Homestead Adventures I'm just now really looking into salt an smoke curing, do you do it all year round? Or mainly just fall when it cools down?
Micah , I was thinking (always thinking of how to get more than one use out of something..) when you soak the raw deer meat in the salt to pull out its juices , instead of tossing the remaining salty juice , could you put that juice in a large iron skillet and slow cook/roast it on a warm spot of your woodstove , to evaporate out all the juice , to leave behind a fine salt ? .. Would it be flavored enough with "roast deer meat flavor" , to use it again as a dry salt , but now as a seasoning salt ? ............. "Deer Salt"
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures .. If it becomes rock hard , time to git out the good ol' Mortar & Pestle ! ... to be sure y'all have one of those fantastic devices???
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures .. well THAR YA GO ! .. you've got Awe the horsepower , I mean boypower , I mean elbow grease , you need ! .... set that juice on an out of the way spot on the woodstove , just let it slow evaporate , and keep adding more deer juice as it evaporates .. and I'm guessing the slow cook , will give it a roasted deer meat flavor ?
Never seen this.. looks good. Yeah your going to need more meat for your youngest fellar , he's going to eat you out of house and home. Lol Enjoyed video

That's the way they did it in the old days and I think a lot of times the old ways were better! Thanks for sharing Brother. Have a great day.
It’s simple, easy and good! Definitely not going to change it!

That was definitely a heart warming experience for me!!! Thanks for noticing that!!❤️
Absolutely I get it for you too . I have 5 ,7 ,9 and 14.. And when they give me due respect I admit I get a little slushy inside.. Awesome feeling!
Good morning Micah 💚

Yes they absolutely love it! It’s so tender and delicious!

Thanks so much!! I’m mighty proud that you enjoyed it!
Being such a lean meat I was curious how it would turn out but Caleb seems to approve!!
Very tender and flavorful!
Never heard of deer ham I gotta try this man
Absolutely! It’s amazing!
Looked great Micah, always enjoy listening my friend.
I know y’all hunt deer….. you should definitely try this……. You’d love it!
I’ve been looking forward to seeing this video. Hello McGie family!
Good evening Andy! Hopefully y’all are ok over that way! We got hail but no tornado!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures all good on my home front.
I love making this with deer meat tastes so good but I add minced garlic and pepper and the flavor is amazing enjoy .. love the videos
Sounds awesome!
Man that was some good deer ham. Thanks for sharing.
You’re absolutely welcome!
Looks like it turned out really good ! We made a bunch of jerky out of some deer and it didn't last any time . Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day !
Some people really eat lots of jerky! We don’t really eat much.
I’ve got some elk roasts I need to do something with. I am trying this on Saturday. Love your videos Micah!
Hope you enjoy! I’ve still got some of this and it hasn’t spoiled at all!
Appreciate y'all learn ever video 😊 c u next time from Jax FL
Thanks Jimmie! We sure do enjoy bringing you these videos!!
I am trying this in the next couple days. I have a deer on ice that i plan to process tomorrow. Man o man that looks good. How long did you smoke it?
24 hours! You’ll love it! I just put more in the salt…..
Deliciousness buddy mine did a whole hind quarter of a deer once
One of these days I’m gonna try that!
Looks really good
Absolutely wonderful! Thanks!
I love any kind of smoked meat. Looks like you have no problem getting Caleb to taste test😂
He can turn a taste test into a fill blown meal!!!😂😂😂
Another great video. I haven't hunted in years but going to start again this year. Thanks for sharing take care brother
You’re absolutely welcome! I highly recommend it! Deer are a wonderful lean meat!
Stop talking while I'm interrupting haven't heard that one since my uncle passed already knew about that great way to process deer meat 🐝👌 love the harmonica in that music
The guy I heard say it also passed away! Guess I’ll stop using that one!!😂😂😂
not bad. might have to try it some day
Today!!!
Oh and a nice bit of rye bread is excellent with it. Guinnies and tricycle motors, once they get started, rarely do they stop. 😆 His channel we will call, Caleb in color. 😆
😂😂😂 I like it!!!
I'm gonna have to try it
It’s easy and delicious!
I always wanted to try that it looked really good thank you for sharing
Definitely try it brother! It’s so good!
looks good
It’s a pretty amazing whole muscle Ham!
Hey son! Keep an eye out for tornados today, 1-12-23. One on the ground in Alabama right now. Kentucky has a good chance to get some too.
Thanks brother! We’ll do that! Been hearing thunder and getting some wind already!
@McGie Homestead Adventures Alabama got tore up really bad today. Carolinas gettin it now, but 4 of their major radars are down.
That’s terrible! We only got hail but no tornado….. prayers for those affected!!!🙏🙏🙏

Thanks so much Cheryl! Hunting is definitely a way of life for us!!! I really appreciate your comments and how well you understand our life!!
You boys are making me hungry!!!
👍🦌🙂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s an amazing and perfect meat!
Great video thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida. Have you ever heard of deer 🥓 bacon
Yes I have! I’m not fond of deer tallow in my mouth but I’m told it’s not as bad for the arteries as other fats and oils…… it’s hard to believe!
So you have seminars or days that you teach classes? We are in Southern Indiana and always enjoy your videos
No I have a construction company and this family farm……. It’s a miracle I can consistently put out three new videos every week, no seminars here……. But I think I make my videos clear enough that people can do the things I’m teaching!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Thanks for your reply. I totally understand. Thanks again for your videos...we love them.
So many things I haven't tried yet
This is a good one!!!
I am hungry, hurry up! haha😊
Good things take time!!😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Yes sir, do you have my address? hahaha🤣😂🤣
Was this regular salt???? Was this "cure"? Is this cold smoked? what is the temp in your smoker? Sorry for the questions I am a mere babe to smokin. Thank you sir.
Just salt. No nitrates or nitrites…… just dehydrated food grade salt.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Any advice for hot smoking? say, 190 degrees till internal temp reaches??
I don’t recommend hot smoking this deer ham at all….. cold smoke only.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I see. So my last question then would be. How do you know when the ham is done?
Cure it in salt 24 hours per pound, smoke it for 24 hours…… at that point it’s ready.
Hey you say that it is dry aged?? then salt cure, then smoked, how long and how are you dry aging it? how long in smoke house?
Ibwas always under the impression cold smoked meat needed cooked before consuming. Have you ever done brine curing and cold smoked whole deboned deer hind?
No I have not. I try to separate the muscles to avoid the sinewy aspect. I have however done one with hot smoke and it was pretty good!
I was multi-tasking, did you say what temp to get the meat to in the smoker? Also, how long can this go without refrigeration? Thanks! Love the videos.
It never gets any heat. The salt cure and cold smoke are all that it gets…….. it’s so much better that way!
Never done a smoked ham!!
These little things are tremendous!
what temp does your smoke house average? I'd like to do the same setup.
I’ve never put a thermometer in there…… I only cold smoke, so the temperature stays as low as possible.
It might have been all that deer ham Caleb was eating , but for some reason he was really Hamming it uP for this video ! ~ 🤪
😂😂😂 he’s rotten!!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures 😝
What can you do with the used salt?
Reuse it till it gets hard as a brick, then use it as a salt lick or do what I do, use it as a weed and invasive shrub killer.
LOL ! -- Micah, Who Steals The Show ? -- Anybody You Know ? -- 🤣🤣🤣 ( Nice cap Mr. David ! -- How was trapping? ) -- Bless You All !
Trapping was good! I think they collectively got 23 varmints!
Interesting way to prepare meat. I guess it would work on lean beef?
Yes …. When they do it with beef, it’s called “dried beef”.
If I come buy a mangalitsa next year from you, would I be able to pickup a pallet of salt from your co-op?
If you can arrange for them to have it on hand I’m sure you could! When you know when you’re coming I’ll give you their number and you can get the ball rolling!
Iowa!
For the win!😂😂😂
What kind/brand of salt are you using? Have you tried this with brown sugar in the deer too?
I use tru flo salt by USC….. I get it at my local farmers Co-Op. I’ve only used sugar in pork ham, but I’ll definitely try it on deer!
Thanks!
Have you ever experienced, the leaner the meat the more it holds the salt?
It definitely seems like it!
How long did you smoke it ?
Approx 24 hours…. It’s really a matter of personal preference. Try it for different amounts and see what you like best!
How long does that store for? (If you can keep it stocked 😂)
In a refrigerator it would keep for months maybe longer. I’ve got mine outside in my screened in kitchen and it’s just fine after two months!
@McGie Homestead Adventures I'm just now really looking into salt an smoke curing, do you do it all year round? Or mainly just fall when it cools down?
Mainly in cool weather. In warmer weather we hot smoke for immediate consumption or to be frozen fully cooked.
Micah , I was thinking (always thinking of how to get more than one use out of something..) when you soak the raw deer meat in the salt to pull out its juices , instead of tossing the remaining salty juice , could you put that juice in a large iron skillet and slow cook/roast it on a warm spot of your woodstove , to evaporate out all the juice , to leave behind a fine salt ? ..

That’s a good idea! It might become a hard rock but maybe not!!
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures .. If it becomes rock hard , time to git out the good ol' Mortar & Pestle ! ... to be sure y'all have one of those fantastic devices???
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures ......plus+ , you almost KNOW that deer juice is loaded with Nutrients . .
We definitely do! And a pile of boys that love to use it!!😂

Are you sure you feed that young one He is a little hound! LOL
😂😂😂 yes I’m gonna just hook him up to an IV😂😂😂
👋
Mmm.. deer ham
It’s good stuff!
What do you mean dry aged and how?
The deer was hung in a walk in cooler designed to chill the meat while removing moisture.
😎👍
Never seen this.. looks good.
Yeah your going to need more meat for your youngest fellar , he's going to eat you out of house and home. Lol
Enjoyed video
He’s hoping to put another deer in the freezer this weekend during the juvenile season! 🦌
👍👏👏👏
Well about about ready to try this out. One more question, while smoking, are you reaching a specific temp or strictly 24hours of cold smoke?
Cold smoke only…. If it cooks, it gets very very tough.
