It's Versus Country

Farmland describes where I live also. I don`t ride my prize around town cause I don`t want all the roadfilm on the meat. Its killed, field dressed,washed out,tagged and to the processor asap. Also I don`t make a habit of going in a restaurant/store all bloody/muddy unless I would absolutely have to. Wouldn`t go to these places after a day of butchering beef or hogs all bloody. Has nothing to do with how I got that way. As far as transporting game, I think Rembrandts post would make a good commercial on welfare reform or the durability of that make of car. At any rate, transport your game the best way you can and if the weather's warm,remember, show it off all you like but time is of the essence.
 
Only an idiot would parade an animal around here as it's usually someplace between warm and hot. Here it's getting everything on ice pronto.
 
Not to hijack, but .284:

With regard to eat'in, we shoot more than a few year and a half old bucks here in Michigan and they are very tasty. Also, If you will mix your ground with beef suet you will get much better flavor and it will keep in the freezer much longer (year to a year and a half if wrapped properly). Pork has a freezer life of about six months. I usually add 3 lbs. suet to 20 lbs. venison.

If you get yourself a foodsaver vacuum packer, I think you'll be very pleased with the results...I have some meat that is 3 years old & it still tastes almost as fresh as the day I bagged it...

The trick with meat is to get it very cold or even frozen before you vacuum pack it, so that the bag can shrink down around it as much as necessary. Squishy meat does not vacuum pack as well and you'll be left with air pockets...
 
Most of those shows no hunter orange. I wonder what state that would be in. Or maybe it is thousands of acerage of private land. Or maybe a hunting resort. I guess we could all do that if we can part with the 10,000 or so for the hunt.

I watched an eposide of one of those shows yesterday,and they weren't wearing orange becuase it was private land,and I believe it was Texas,and you don't have to wear orange on private land there.Here in Michigan it is law that you have to wear orange on your upper body and head no matter where you hunt.
 
In Michigan it is a hat, cap, vest, jacket, or rain gear of highly visible orange color. Thats it. Like I said if you want to pay the big bucks ( dollors ) anything is possiable. But hunting here on public land or someone's 40 you are not going to be in a blind with four people looking at six 8 to 14 point bucks at one time thinking if you should take one or not. Why the Quote? It is right above your reply!!! Here we do show off our deer if they are nice. You see many pickups with the deer in the back making the rounds. On one night there is a gas station that has a scale and b.s. session after. There is nothing wrong with letting other folks see your deer, and being proud of it.
