Once the house is on the market... bears beware. Hopefully next week.

As long as the house doesn't sell I'll still have the meat cooler. :tup:

yeah, but need to check with WDFW before eating any of it. The meat might still have the drugs in it.

Post by: HUNTNORTHWEST on August 01, 2017, 06:17:12 PM: Half of me wants to shoot it. The other half of me says its just a added hassle.

On a collar or ear tag there will be a number,and wdfw can tell you how long ago they tranquilizer,or any other drugs they may have been injected with,some drugs they use take a few days before all drugs have left the animals system or the meat.
