wondering if location plays a big role, and since we hunt pretty high elevation we get good meat ? Would be interesting to know the difference, I dread the day I have to waste an animal because the meat is spoiled.
Same here. The last bear I shot was delicious and made a convert out of a few people on game meat. Shot a long ways away from any dump or salmon stream, processed properly, kept clean and cool. The fat rendered out beautifully. It seems the worms are a more of a problem towards the salmon streams and people population, but I'm no microbiologicalismist....
