My freezer lost power 5 days ago. All of the game I harvested this year was in it. Everything has thawed, but is still very cold.
After an initial response of extreme anguish and despair, anger, and hopelessness, I checked the USDA website. They say that any red meat thawed in the refrigerator can be refrozen within 3-5 days of thawing, without being cooked. Please cross your fingers...and pray for the best. It makes me sick to think of 4 whitetail deer going to waste.
