Episode Synopsis
Chewing the Fat 2
Freezer setups for storing Game/Forage
Chest Freezers
Pro: lots of room, energy efficient, cold for a day if power goes out
Con: organization is difficult, items can get smashed, shuffling can injure seals
Upright Freezers
Pro: Organization solution with tubs/crates, lots of room, efficient, easier on packaging and seals
Con: Not as efficient as chests, potential to injure cooling filaments
Garage DIY Meat Chillers ideas
*Disclaimer*
Due to recent changes in Michigan Regulations to combat CWD, what can be transported over county and state lines may have changed. PLEASE! check out the regulations on transporting carcusses, bone, hide and meat along with checking in your deer in your hunting areas. We as hunters have a responsibility to the animals we pursue and the people we feed. See page 39 in the Michigan Deer Hunting Regulations Digest
Tips on Cooling and meat care of field dressed deer
Hanging deer: keeping hide on, split pelvis and split ribcage. Cool dark places (shed, barn, shade tree)
Cooling deer in hot weather: Bags of ice in the rib cavity, ice on the pelvis. Keeping meat off direct contact with ice is preferred, and not submerged in water.
