Feral is offering hunting package tours, giving customers the opportunity to hunt wild game that can be turned into sausage at Feral's kitchen workspace.
"It is for people who may have a little bit of experience hunting and are interested in harvesting some meat but may not have a place to hunt or are not confident in their [ability to field dress an animal]," owner Chris Houston said.
Feral partners with a ranch in Calvert, northeast of College Station, where customers can hunt does and feral hogs.
"We are there to guide them on how to do the basic butchering of the animal," he said.
Deer season ends in January, and Feral plans to announce new sessions that focus on feral hogs.
"It's a pretty good time of year for them," Houston said. "They've been eating acorns and natural foods, so there is a lot of meat and fat on the animals."
Feral rents out its kitchen workspace and holds group classes for customers interested in learning about meat processing. The business also offers one-on-one instruction.
"It's much easier to clean than your own kitchen," he said.
