I'm PISSED

[Gutpile]

Ok than my question would be how often when you go into the shop in the off season do you check the freezer.  If you are just going in their quick for something you may not check it.

 

Never. The shop is for my business. When the season is over November-Feb I don't go in there unless I need a tool or something. I'll probably just make space in the garage, that way I'll check it all the time. I've been able to fit all of my game in the house freezer so havent needed to use it much.

Thanks all. Gave me food for thought.

Dude, you've got to start hunting something other than squirrel

To bad you threw the dog out.  The meat was just getting tender.  Should have cut off those back hams and threw them in the show cooker with some taters and carrots.

OK Just a suggestion you can take it or leave it, What I do is save every milk jug and 2 liter bottle I can find and fill them with water and put all of them in the freezer and only take out enough of the bottles to fit the food in and when you eat the food or in this case get rid of the hide then replace the bottles so the freezer is always full of something, that way if you were to forget to plug it back in ICEMAN or it goes TU you have a bit more time before all the precious game meat thaws cause the ice in the jugs will keep it frozen for a very long time especially if you don't open the door and if you do you'll know there is a problem !!!  

It works !!

I'll save the next one for you.

Good idea.

Robo, I hear ya. We do this ice thing now, besides I never need to buy block ice anymore... . But back then, the really old chest freezer in the garage had crappy insulation, it was summer, and it may have been even longer than 10 days... Not sure the ice trick would have worked in that case... 

Alarms are a great idea.

Oh god...the memories..the BAD MEMORIES..
It was only a few months ago that I almost lost 100 lbs of meat. I was able to cook/refreeze or can most of it, but it was a pain.

Gutpile,

Do you want an upright or chest freezer?

[Gutpile]

shoot-em-dead is selling me his upright.

[Big10gauge]

Gutpile, I'll save you some coyote meat if you want to fill up the new freezer.
