Hey All, planning a northern moose hunt (Atlin area) and trying to figure out the best plan for caring for meat. The trip is planned for Aug 20-30th so am anticipating that outside hanging and storage for 10 days will not be possible given temperatures (although we might luck out).
We have 2 freezers, a large cooler box and a generator or two - however, I understand there is also no longer a meat cutter in Atlin. We had been planning on having it processed and simply freezing it on-site.
We've narrowed down to a couple of options:
1. Quarter/debone meat and freeze (although this will impact later processing down south???)
2. Process meat on site (requires cutting table, wrappers, grinder, etc)
3. Take meat to Whitehorse and have it processed, frozen and stored for pick up on way back.
Has anyone used a cutter/storage site in Whitehorse? Any considerations for transportation of meat into Yukon for storage & processing for a week (permits, etc) (will be checking with CO's on both sides of border, just wondering if anyone has done this before and/or has contacts)?
Any other options?
Thanks for any help.
