Dry or wet you gonna need a pressure pot to make that thing tender!!

Was TSS involved? If so I’m curious the load recipe…..

Is that not the rib-eye of the sky?

[Beachbird]

"sky" no, those poor wings never saw air higher than 6 feet would be my guess....

[CurLee]

.22WMR.

Not ribeye, more like filet. Almost zero intramuscular fat. Nice fat cap on the rump though that will go in with the burger.

[centurian]

Yeah but look at the drumsticks on that thing.

[SaltMuck]

Make some boots out of that ostrich and feed the rest to the dog.

[2thDoc]

that an emu?

you making burger from said emu with its own fat?
pretty neat, I think....

deer fat is nasty.

[CurLee]

Rhea, but yes to the rest.

[CurLee]

The drumstick will go entirely to grind(other was broken and bloodshot, reason for the cull). There is no meat on the breast whatsoever. Steaks come out of the rump/tail section.

[Hogg]

I was thinking it has a big ass.

[Steelin' Ducks]

Looks nasty

[SaltMuck]

Least you got some wings for the Super Bowl.

Forgot to update this thread but....44lb (live weight) bird yielded 16lb. of meat. One leg was injured as mentioned before, so I would have easily gotten 22lb+ (or 50% live weight). Plus a pint and a half of "emu" oil, which I understand goes for $50/2oz. nowadays....
Looks like deer meat, texture of lean beef, with a little flavor of lamb.
Such a strange fucking bird!

[2thDoc]

yeah i cant imagine watching that thing fuck....
