Lean Ostrich and beef mince

It's a new mince woolies does and it's like R28 for 500g. Anyone tried it?

just a tip: a lot of game farms (trophy hunting) will sell meat (ussually whole carcases) for very cheap. as little as R14 a kilo. So if you are willing to work a bit and cut your own meat and have a contact.... just saying

I don't buy woolies, probably because there is no woolies within +- 80km from me. :whistle:

Is it ostrich mixed with beef? Price sounds steep.

woolworths site says its R34.99?

Bought some and ate it tonight. Tastes the same as lean mince but the protien per 100g is higher than extra lean beef and the fat is lower . So while its on special at my local woolies I'm going to run it .
I buy my eggs there anyway

I worked my own meat. Leanest mince you can get. Have a kudu and a springbok in the freezer!

Those are some substantial squirrels.

My kudu weighed in at 110 kgs and springbok at 20 odd. Also broght back 10kgs billies and 10kgs of wors. I sold all the billies and wors and in turn paid for my kudu and springbok. Definitely shoot 2 or 3 kudus next year. Well worth it. Just need to upgrade my box deepfreeze...

Which part of the country were you in?

Also hunted a kudu cow last weekend, carcass weighed 100kg's. Big for a cow. Must work the meat this weekend. Game meat is very nice, and I know what is in the meat.

Must still go and shoot some blue wildebeeste and swart wildebeest, and some blesbuck this year as well. Still trying to convince SO that we need a bigger chest freezer

How can you eat blesbuck? lol... I can't get near it and even the smell is terrible.

blesbuck must be one of the dumbest animals. you can practically throw one dead with a rock on my uncles farm.

Blesbuck are quite dumb, yes. On the days that they are spooked, I take my silenced rifle and shoot

No admin, how can you say they stink? Meat is very nice, fine texture. Yes, it is a bit wilder thank kudu etc, but not as much as rooibok or vlakvark.

with some roosmaryn, honey and olive oil it is awesome

isnt a silencer illegal? try slow roasting the fillets with some canned apricots. tastes like some gordon ramsey shit

It's very easy to catch a blesbok as well, when you get one away from the herd all you have to do is drive next to it and grab it by the horns. They always run in a straight line when alone... You better hold on though... lol

I guess it's just personal taste, because I really don't like blesbuck.

I know a couple of cowboys that catch gemsbok that way.... and do it repeatedly... KAK Wild... still need to do it one day...

It's a rather stressful way to catch them, but I've done it twice when we found escaped blesbok in the road. I'm not sure I have the balls to catch a gemsbok like that, haha.

No, silencer is not illegal if fitted to a rifle. however, if fitted to a handgun (especially pistol), it is illegal. There are farms that only allow silenced rifles on their farms.

Hectic shit if you guys catch blesbok like that. Have not tried it yet. THink if you catch it like that and kill it, its meat will be touch as grandma panties.

Rather shoot it and before it is full of adrenaline, meat soft as baby skin.

lol dude. I must say, kudu are not dumb. Quite clever actually. It ducks its head behind a branch the minute you want to shoot it. Move from bush to bush and if you're not quick enough *poof* just disappears. Was quite impressed at its tactics.
