Separate the raw meat into pieces for cooking. Cut away unwanted pieces. Make sure the meat is clean. Wild meat is very low in fat so do not try to cut away what little fat there is, as this will be needed for cooking. The low fat will cause the meat to not shrink as much during cooking.
Season the meat as to your desire, however with game less seasoning is better.To much seasoning may kill the taste of wild meat. Double check for hunting remnants such as shrapnel, blood shot meat, hair and dirt etc. etc. Make sure your meat is clean.
Cook the meat with whichever recipe you prefer. Wild meat will dry out faster than domesticated meats because of the decreased amount of fat. Monitor the cooking closely.

When meat is almost done, take the tops and boil in a pot to make sure the rubber seals are soft so they can seal well. When done take out bottles on tray. Make sure the top of bottles are clean. For a good seal wipe dry. Place covers hand tight. Wait a few minutes until you hear a pop. That means the covers have made a good seal. Let cool. Make sure you have a good seal and the covers are tight.
