Tagged Out and Flocked and Loaded join the Deer Camp Harvest Collection with seasonings formulated for big game, waterfowl and upland birds

IRON RIDGE, Wis., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- With hunting season underway across much of the country, PS Seasoning launched two new seasonings built specifically for wild game: Tagged Out Backstrap Blend, a venison and wild game seasoning, and Flocked and Loaded Wild Fowl Rub, made for waterfowl and upland birds. Both are formulated for the lean, rich and distinctly flavored meat hunters bring home, rather than adapted from blends designed for farm-raised beef and chicken.

U.S. hunters harvested more than 6.1 million whitetail deer in the 2024–25 season, according to the National Deer Association's 2026 Deer Report, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates waterfowl hunters took more than 14.9 million ducks and 3.6 million geese in the 2025–26 season. PS Seasoning has supplied bulk seasoning to meat processors, meat markets and butcher shops since 1977 and brings that same craft to products for hunters who cook and process their own harvest.

"Wild game is different from the meat most people buy at the store, and it cooks differently too," said Jed Hanson, Executive Chef at PS Seasoning. "Venison is lean and cooks fast, and duck and goose have a richer flavor than chicken. When the seasoning is built for the meat, it brings out the flavor hunters worked hard for instead of covering it up."

The new seasonings include:

- Tagged Out Backstrap Blend ($8.99): Combines garlic, onion and black pepper with red and green bell peppers, tomato and Worcestershire for a savory crust on lean cuts. Designed for backstrap, tenderloin, steaks and roasts from venison, elk, antelope and wild hog, the all-purpose blend can also be mixed into burgers, chili and jerky.

- Flocked and Loaded Wild Fowl Rub ($8.99): Pairs orange peel, brown sugar, paprika and ginger to complement the rich, dark meat of duck and goose. Developed for waterfowl and upland birds, including pheasant, grouse and wild turkey, the rub can also be used on chicken.

From the field to the freezer

With the two new seasonings, PS Seasoning's Deer Camp Harvest Collection now includes more than 70 products for hunters, from snack stick and sausage seasonings, jerky kits, casings, cures and high-temperature cheeses to smokers and dry agers. The collection also includes the Deer Camp Set ($30.99), which bundles a Venison Jerky Kit, Wild Game Seasoning, Ten-Point Venison Chili Mix and Big Buck Bloody Mix.

PS Seasoning also offers free Field to Table resources, including guides to sausage making, jerky, snack sticks and field-to-freezer processing, along with wild game recipes and the Meat Block Calculator, which provides exact seasoning, cure and water measurements based on raw meat weight.

Tagged Out and Flocked and Loaded are available beginning Oct. 20 at psseasoning.com/collections/hunting-and-processing-mixes-and-seasonings and select retailers. A store locator is available at psseasoning.com/pages/store-locator.
