is there any risk of losing meat to freezer burn if you thaw frozen meat and then refreeze it after cutting the meat?
I'm flying into my hunting destination and will be driving back east after the hunt if successful. I won't have access to frozen milk jugs but was planning on using dry ice or...
So to take care of game meat. Remove cape as soon as possible, remove guts or get meat off carcass ASAP, keep meat as clean & dry as possible, hang meat in well ventilated very cool areas in good breathable game bags, keep meat very cool/cold in a cooler, age meat if possible
Any critiques to...
I'd take a Lyme vaccine. I'd prefer the government make ticks public enemy #1 and eradicate those demon spawn from the landscape.
That's one animal that I want to see actively go extinct & no one to lobby for it's protection
Thank you all for the responses. I want to age the meat as much as possible so hanging it a day in a tree (as long as it's very cool out), and driving 2 days with meat very cold but not frozen in cooler should do some of the aging.
Any tips for aging the meat at home a couple more days? Do I...
I want to do the butchering but since I'm facing a 20+ hour drive home (if I'm lucky enough to get an elk), I would rather process the game before I start driving. Do any game processors just rent you a bench and space in their facility to DIY the cutting yourself?
I drew a general WY elk tag and I am strongly considering a unit in the heart of bear range. My wife & I spent a week out there and also a unit with almost no grizz presence hiking around last week. We ended up seeing 5 grizzlies in 2.5 days.
We are not so much concerned with bears coming to...
I believe I heard Randy say that you get a discount/or automatic access to Outdoor Class if you are already a member of Corey Jacobsen's UEH Elk program? Is this true?
I had 1 PP in WY and I drew purely from that 25% random draw this year for general elk that folks with 2 and 3 points didn't draw. I think I'm done accumulating points and just applying annually for that random draw to call my number.
I'm never going to build up 10+ points for some of the...
