I see some folks on the youtubes canning without a pressure canner, but most say this is not the right way to do it. What does our HUNTWA group think about this?

Hard pass. Pressure canning meat is the only reliable way to not kill people with botulism. Don't confuse water bath canning with pressure canning.

I'm with @Skillet, pressure canned meat is the only way I would eat it.

Are they canning meat that way? Hot water bath canning works for things like jam and tomatoes, but it's widely known it doesn't work safely for meat or fish products.

You guys have any recipes that you'd recommend?
I would love to free up some freezer space.

Trimmed up and cubed meat no water and a half teaspoon of kosher salt per pint does the trick for us.

I throw a beef bullion cube in each pint with any red meat (deer, elk, duck, beef) and it turns out great!  Also canned some pheasant and used a chicken bullion cube and some garlic.  Fantastic!

Just salt as recommended in the National Center for Home Food Preservation.  It will make its own broth, no need to add bullion.  If you want you can add a layer of potatoes and carrots and then meat and you have a quick stew.  All you have to do is saute some onions and garlic and then poor in the quart jar of Potatoes/carrots/meat.  With a loaf of bread you have dinner.  I follow this one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyTQMVyIfjU

We have done it a few different ways.  Some we add garlic and pearl onions to it.  We have also had success with Italian seasoning but the favorite is taco seasoning.  After opening it and letting is rest** we throw it in a pan and you have shredded meat tacos in minutes.

**One thing that we learned, I think it makes a big difference when canning meat, is to crack open the jar and let it sit for 10-15 minutes.  the meat is far less dry if you let it reabsorb and redistribute the juices.  It is similar to resting meat after cooking.
