Homebased game meat processing
As part of the Protecting the Tasmanian Way of life of Recreational Hunting Policy the government has developed a homebased game meat processing course to be delivered through TasTAFE.
The course will provide participants with skills in carcase and meat preparation to produce a range of products including sausages, hamburgers and smoked meats.
People with a current Tasmanian hunting licence can participate in the six-hour course at the half price subsidised cost of $205.
Cooking with game meat
To complement the homebased game meat processing course TasTAFE is also offering an evening course at a cost of $175 to learn how to get the best eating experience from preparing and cooking game meats.
