 o join the waitlist\, please contact Branndon Costallano at bcastellano@dnr
 .IN.gov or 317-519-0728.\n\nWhether you're an aspiring deer hunter\, a newb
 ie wild game chef\, or an experienced outdoorsperson looking for ways to pr
 ocess the venison in your freezer\, join us for this advanced deer processi
 ng workshop on March 7 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. at the Smoking Goose Meatery i
 n Indianapolis. This event is in partnership with the Indiana Chapter of Ba
 ckcountry Hunters and Anglers. Learning how to process your own deer can in
 crease your independence as an outdoorsperson\, allows you to get more out 
 of your harvest\, and creates opportunities for community-building centered
  around sharing lean\, locally sourced venison!\n\nThis adult-oriented (16+
 ) workshop will cover how to safely and effectively use meat grinders\, sau
 sage stuffers and other equipment to take your deer meat from field to fork
 . We will provide guidance on what to include in your grind\, how to make s
 ausage\, and which spices and casings to consider adding to your game proce
 ssing wish list! This course will include both demonstrations and hands-on 
 practice so please come prepared to get involved. This course will NOT cove
 r how to break down a deer or remove meat from the carcass. It will instead
  focus on more nuanced ways to use the meat once it has been removed. For m
 ore information on how to skin and quarter a deer\, visit on.IN.gov/deer-pr
 ocessing.\n\nThis course will be held in a cold room conducive to processin
 g meat. We ask that you dress warmly and appropriately. Participants can al
 so expect to be standing for most of the class. For health and safety reaso
 ns\, pants and closed-toe shoes are required. Please refrain from bringing 
 your own wild game to process.  \n\nPlease join us at this free workshop\, 
 registration required!\n\nDNR values inclusion and access for all participa
 nts and will provide reasonable accommodation for this event. Please contac
