Title: Here's a good cold storage in SE
Post by: Todd_ID on August 16, 2008, 09:13:17 AM: If any of you happen to be hunting in the SE part of the state and find yourselves in need of a cold storage for meat, then a good option is Wilson Banner Ranch. Hunting season is the off season for an orchard/vegetable farm, so they rent the cold storage for hanging game. I've hung a couple elk and deer with them with great service. If you can get to cell coverage to let them know you're coming, then they'll be ready for you with a forklift at midnight Sunday night if you need it. They charge $10 a day for an elk and $5 for a deer, if I remember correct. They are located on the East side of Alpowa Grade between Pomeroy and Clarkston, about 15 minutes from each.
