Northern BC butcher / meat care

A couple of us didn't want to pay, it was either pay or not get any moose back.
Funk was a a__clown.
Don't imagine he got much local Business.

Beware of these rip off butchers

If you can get the meat skinned over and keep it dry it can last pretty long, its usually cold enough at night in the mountains to get it cold to the core. Then when you get out drive straight though till you get home and have a chest freezer or two waiting. Or bring a chest freezer and a little whisper generator along. Let it run while you drive, it will be cold enough to leave for the night at the hotel.

Thanks for all the ideas and advice... looks like we will are planning on just bringing it back boned out home to process... very hard to find reliable butchers these days!

Wow, what a rip off artist. Lots of northern boys I know would have knocked his teeth out for trying to pull that stunt on them. It's usually $ amount per day to hang the animal [not by the quarter] in the cooler for you to take home, when you leave it with them for processing it's a by the pound rate. You don't pay both, I know that I sure as hell wouldn't have.

being a "northern boy" we know how to field dress, butcher and remove any animal from any location! therefore no need to try and knock the teeth out of some toothless waste of skin!

Well we used the lockers @ Pink Mountain and in Dawson at a set $ per day for hanging, none of them were dumb enough to try and charge us $ per quarter per day when we went to pay. Sometimes it's smarter to hang in a secure and cooled location rather than have your meat sour, get eaten by bears or stolen.

sWING IT HIGH IN A TREE ? PRETTY SIMPLE ISNT IT?M THE HUNTER WHOS IS TAGGED OUT CAN KEEP PREDATORS AND THIEVES AWAY.
unless you are the sort of person that shares others tags?

don't forget that tagged out on one animal doesnt mean there aren't other things to hunt...we've lost a high hung deer to a grizz at night before (bull river)...bottom of the game bag was a good 6 feet up but the bear reached up grabbed enough of it to pull down the entire newly hung pole with both deer..it only dragged off the doe and left the buck on the ground under the pole....it too was in a game bag so it stayed clean..the pole was maybe 100 feet from camp...the new poles we made after that were right in camp, had a rope perimeter all around it tied to a step ladder with a 5 gal pail of cans to alert us...the bear came back everynight and we had to blast off quite a few shotgun shells to keep scaring it off

You mean like in a group leh hunt? I am thinking you've been into the cups so we will forgive you the stupidity of your words.
