HACKED BY CYBER-ATTACK - ALPERENBTN

Guys,

To make this post relevant, at least for those who butcher our game, both fish and the fur-imbedded kind, and within city limits, what do you do when disposing of the carcass? That is, to avoid the apartment maintenance man from thinking you are Jeffrey Dahmer after he smells, then investigates the dumpster to find what is apparently the liver and guts out of a young, beautiful maiden? LOL


I've butchered three hogs this year and have been wondering....Is it legal to dump hog innyrds and such legally in this manner?

Also wanted to know.... I've worked so much lately that I kept the last hog -- 200 lb sow on ice, quarted (of course), for eight days....I kept the water drained and added fresh ice as needed....I've been reading online that deer can be stored in a walk-in freezer at 38 degrees (or so) up to two weeks! .... I have the meat off the bone now, and bought my new sausage maker attachments and want to stuff the casings tomorrow....But meat has been in fridge for past two days.... Am I "safe" to use the meat tomorrow, after I come home from work to make sausage? I believe I am...and the meat is still moist and has no rotting odor....

Any professional hunters who can chime in with answers? I'd appreciate it!

if the meat has been kept at 34 to 38 degrees for this leangth of time it should be nicely aged both for sausage and some for the grill.

I believe you are safe on the meat as long as its been kept cold the entire time.As far as disposale of the innards and such I think I would keep it chilled in a trash bag till the morning of dump day or take a ride out in the country on a long dirt road away from anyones house and let the coyotes feast like kings till the sun comes up and the buzzards take over.Its not legal but only if you get caught...

The meat will still be good. I dont know you situation, but I would have gutted the hog where it was shot. All you would have to worry about are the bones then.

The meat will still be good as long as you kept ice on it. I always quarter my hogs and leave them on ice for at least 5 days. Just ate some last night that had been on ice for 9 days and it was excellent. Always drain the water and keep ice on them.

Hogs, being the nasty pigs they are will eat anything alive or dead, even their own feces. So, gut the pig where you shot it, its friends will dine on the guts and clean the mess up. Coyotes may find a morsal or two. Skin the hog at camp, toss it in the brush a good ways from camp. Other hogs and creatures will eat that too. Quarter the hog, cool it and store on ice as you did for 5 - 7 days at 33* - 38* (ice cold). Process, package and enjoy eating the nastiest creature on earth (even a vulture/buzzard won't eat feces). -Zano

Well, I'm no pro but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night...

The meat should be fine. I had one quartered and in a fridge that went out on me and when I went to check it the temp must have been 65 - 70º in there. It turned out OK.

Try it anyway and let us know how it was. If we don't hear back from you we'll know it wasn't OK...

If you have room in your freezer, you can store the carcass in it until the day of garbage pickup. It helps to keep down the aroma. Another option is to carry the frozen remains back to the pasture for the varmints on your next trip back to the field. This will return the unused parts back where it came from instead of adding to the landfill.
Also I am sure that the meat is not any good anymore. I have a place to dispose of it so call me and I will take it off of your hands.
(PS If it is still tasty, I will send you a thank you card.)

I am not out hunting hogs but buying them from the country folk who trap 'em live for me outside El Campo, Texas where I work.... My hog connection charges me 15 dollars for a 40-50 lb hog and 20 dollars for anything bigger to 300 plus lbs.... And they will shoot it from live traps on site for me.... All I have to do is ask my boss if the driver of the company van and trailer can pull off the highway a mere .2 miles to check if the country folk has some din-din for me!

It's an hour drive back to our office near Houston, and from there a mere 10 minutes to my residence or 20 minutes to my cousin's country home..... I generally gut and clean the hogs at her place, but am too tired to dig a hole or start a fire to set carcass on fire....Plus she has dogs who'd probably roll in the carcass -- or dig it up and, uh, have fun with it!....Not to mention a gazillion coyotes who'd come even closer to her property at night to feed.....Already had my Broad-breasted bronze turkeys and Americauna chickens garnished by opossums and 'coons...don't want more misery involved, with the enticement of her children's outside pets -- a fresh, living cute pot-bellied pig and billy goat as a "peace offering!"

Guys,

When I grew up in Corpus, my family and I would often visit Padre Island and I'd see thousands of jack-rabbits...But my Del Mar College brothers and their age-appropriate friends would shoot 'em left and right, claiming their stringy meat and genes contaminate the Michelle Pheiffer's of the species (Cottontails) .....but having also lived in North Central Texas...one doesn't see jackrabbits but tens of thousands of cottons per .999999 acre (ok, exaggerating)!.... But they are everywhere, like cockroaches in your box of Kellog's Corn Flakes!

I am going back up to North-Central Texas over the X-mas holidays....anyone know of the daily bag limit? (I can easily get 100 per night, which is overkill). I only want 3-4 before I acquire the taste!
