Rock Island 4-H Club recently issued the following announcement.
Illinois hunters support the health of ecosystems, conservation efforts, and local economies. Successful hunts also provide lean, local protein for families and communities.
Don't let accidents ruin the experience. University of Illinois Extension, in cooperation with Illinois Learn to Hunt, will share basic field dressing, post-hunt processing techniques, storage, and preparation techniques for a variety of game in order to get the quality and wholesomeness that wild game is known for.
Illinois Extension will share food safety information for handling game animals, along with new recipe ideas and tips on cooking methods that improve meat texture and flavor.
The free, online webinar begins at 7 p.m. May 27 and runs 90 minutes. Register before May 21 at go.illinois.edu/HuntAndEat. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program, contact 217-877-6042. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time for meeting your access need.
"UDSA recommends using frozen wild game within 8 to 12 months," says Caitlin Mellendorf, Illinois Extension nutrition and wellness educator. “For hunters and their families with meat still in their freezers from last season, this webinar will provide some new recipe ideas to use meat before the next season,”
