He's getting in all sorts of trouble today.   Caribou slip very easy from what I understand, as compared to alot of the other critters (elk, deer).

So do antelope, thats why I wasnt taking a chance. I have had customers bring in deer that were 10 days old and stunk that made it through the stop rot (stop slip) solution. I did have 1 muley slip in the throat though and it went through the stop slip. It was frozen when they brought it in but the esophogus residue had leaked and puddled in the cape hich in turn will promote bacterial growth pretty quick. Slipped right in the throat patch  :bash: I hate frozen capes for that reason. Need to plug the thoroat so it doesnt drain onto the cape.

Good thing you had someone else there to pack that thing out for you :chuckle:
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
