I've been doing some looking on other threads and all I could find was old info on meat butchers in Fort Nelson. Does any one know if there is any? Or a cooler to hang animals?
Heading up there mid August for 2 weeks.

what are you hunting Moose .elk.bear?I hunted the area all thru the late 80's and 90's.Used to be a buliton board at the grocery store in town with the od posting for meat cutting and hanging.Prophet rive store would sometimes have cooler space for a price as well.
We always went in sept 10th and it was far cooler then.Everything we shot we had zero trouble with hanging for 2 weeks in sept and it was 2 hrs drive into Nelson so we didn't bother
clean out all bloodshot /vinager/water mix washed quarters and lightly sprinkle with pepper before cheesecloth
