Title: Deer freezer storage in Walla Walla?
Post by: windygorge on July 16, 2012, 06:33:44 PM: I deer hunt in Walla Walla area. i was wondering if there is somewhere that will let hunters store their deer in a cooler for a few days. some places i have hunted in the past, had private ranches that let me keep them there for 5-8 bucks a day. anything like that in walla walla or surrounding towns. thanks

its not about aging the meat. its so i can stay longer and enjoy camping for a few more days. its a 5 hour drive back home.
