    Re: Keeping your meat from spoiling

    I think they are referring to how to keep it from spoiling well after it's been cooled off....... No one would put warm meat in a garbage bag for long....

    I have had great luck with double bagging meat and submerging it in a lake or creek for days. I've also heard you can dig a deep hole and bury it but I wouldn't be surprised if it was gone when I returned.

    Lots of folks get into this dilemma after one guy shoots a ram on day one of a 10 day hunt. So be prepared.

    You know why Popeye never had a problem with his meat spoiling, he stuck it in olive oil.

    When in doubt, just pin it.

    I agree with you, but I know a lot that wouldn’t. His posts were like a train wreck. You just had to keep reading!
    If we’re not supposed to eat animals, how come they’re made out of meat?

    When you fly in to a lake, use the lake as your fridge. Rubbermaid totes that you used in the plane can be filled with deboned, cheeseclothed meat, 3/4 submerged in that icy water. Pile rocks on top of the lids. The lids dont fit airtight so you get air movement. Sealed garbage bags are anaerobic and breed bad bugs. Those totes are great for the long drive back...throw gas station ice into a waterproof bag on top of the meat. The only bad part to this is somebody has to wade into that cold water...you should hear my hunting partner bitch!
