Freezer Bounty
Today was a good day for me to get out in the garage and try to clean up the ravages of winter. While I was out there I just happened to check my freezer. I was fortunate enough to put two fat deer in it (the freezer,) but there wasn’t much left. We sure enjoyed those roast, tenderloins, and steaks over the winter. As I was checking out my stockpile of natures bounty, I noticed some packages dated 2006. Thats not good! Any package over a year old probably needs to be discarded. Actually your know doubt better off if you don’t keep things more than six months.
Because I bear hunt, and have several brothers that also bear hunt, I just put my questionable freezer packages in my bear bait pile. That way it won’t go to waste.
Anyway I just want to encourage you to check out your freezer “stash”, and see how fresh everything is. If some of your packages are soon to be expired, plan a cookout or donate to a wild game dinner. If you possess some really outdated stuff find a bear hunter - he’ll gladly take it off your hands.
It always helps to double wrap your freezer items, and be sure you date them all. I always mark the different cuts of meat and keep my fish seperate from the other packages.
All this talk about food has made me hungry. I think I may just have an idea about how to get rid of a couple of those venison steaks.
