Make your own, it's easy!

Use flank steak, cut against the grain. Thickness as desired. I cut mine about 1/4" thick. Soak overnight in a marinade. I use a Sugar free teriyaki marinade, available at Walmart. You can also make a meeting or of sou sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and onion powder... And of course, salt. You can even add liquor or maple syrup if you'd like.

Lay marinaded meat on a cookie sheet and liberally coat with lemon pepper. To make it hot you can add cayenne or red pepper flakes.

Put in the oven at lowest setting, 175°, for 6-8 hours.

Not only is it less expensive than the store bought variety, it's a home made present!

Enjoy!

I had a POS brother in law that used all kinds of loopholes, such as health, not showing up for court dates, etc , and was able to drag his eviction out for a year! I'm an optimist by nature, and hope this goes according to plans for you...but don't start packing your move in yet.

I live in Ozark and would be glad to hold them for your friend. Feel free to dm me if interested.

Field dressing is easy. You're basically going to fit the deer from groin to sternum. I make sure the deer's belly is facing downhill if there is any grade at all, as gravity will fight you otherwise once you try to pull the guts out. Next, I start at the lowest point of the groin and cut years the sternum. Super important to make sure your knife gets just under the skin, and stays that way all the way through the cut. You don't want to cut organs, especially the bladder. Otherwise you'll get urine on the meat.

Once you've got it open just reach inside and pull all the guts out. Then, cut the intestine and bladder near the anus, and reach up into the cavity of the chest and pull out the lungs and heart. You'll have to reach way up in there to cut the trachea (throat). So, just remember, the organ system is a tube coming in and two tubes coming out, with a bunch of stuff in-between. You cut the tubes last. Then you leave all that stuff for the critters. Birds and coyotes will consume it by morning.

Field dressing will take about 40# of weight away, making it easier to get to the vehicle. And leaves all the guts in the forest for animals.

I usually carry a pair of disposable gloves. Makes it easier to clean up afterwards. Make sure you take those back out of the woods...leave no trace.

You can buy glycerin at want pharmacy. Come in small 4 oz bottles though. It might take a few pharmacies to get a gallon. Try Walgreens.

We live in rural Ozark and have Starlink. Love it...

Historically, Sunshine floods. I presume all of that construction is for storm water drainage and the plastic is probably to keep the concrete from curing too quickly. Just a guess....

Yeah, it's pretty difficult, but not impossible. Where did you guys move here from?

I'm a local (Branson) but left for about 15 years. Came back as an atheist/agnostic and felt like an outcast. I picked up religion to be part of the crowd. Then I began to believe it. I drank that cool aid for a long time, but my spirit wasn't there. So many questions, and things that just didn't align. I felt I wasn't being authentic to myself, but at the same time I wrestled with still believing a spiritual side of me exists...and still do. And I've finally landed at a place that would be described as spiritual but not religious....but put on the mask in the community to avoid the shun or ridicule that I think would happen if people knew the real me. Friends know, but work associates probably not so much.

You're not alone. I hate to admit I was an evangelical for a couple of decades. I bailed on religion about 10 years ago. The deconstruction process was painful, mainly because it was hard to find like minded people...a new tribe as it were. Brenea Brown talks about how a "tribe" equates to "protection". Without it one is vulnerable. So we compromise at times to create that sense of security, and acceptance.

It's even more difficult when we live in the bible belt. We've attended/supported the Venues for several years now. I think they are the closest tribe we have in the area. Still not 100% in line with where I stand theologically, but close.

PM me if you want to talk more.

South to Ozark is Salvatore's Italian. And in Nixa, Piccolo.
