    That’s not too shabby especially for a colour phase and add in the history

    "swiss syndrome"....that's a good one, Don't think I have ever seen that description on here or any other forum for that matter. Good write up. Little woman seems to be quite the "la mulé" in more ways than one.LOL

    Oops! It was supposed to say "Swiss cheese" (ie: lots of holes) ... just edited post to make sure there are no Swiss folks that interpret it as "panicking and trigger happy"

    It's a great time to harvest bears. No pressure to drive home the same day, most of the time anyway.

    We put the meat in a 70gal rubbermaid with a tarp liner (some holes in the bottom of the rubbermaid) and then let it sit in a creek (snow run-off) for a couple hours.

    Stayed up a bit until it felt nippy out, then took the container back out of the creek and put it in front of the jeep where I could keep an eye on it with some pots and pans on top to make noise.

    About 1/3 of the way trimming and vacuum packing (grinding a bit too) ... the rest is in staying cool in the fridge. I don't feel any urgency to freeze it, which is good because I'm stupid tired.
