after the hard work of finding animal,shooting it and carting it out..having meat go off is heartbreaking....good mate has lost 2 lots due to freezer issues...... farkin near cried when he told me about last lot as was big velvety stag in stinking hot day,we did everything right and meat was happily in freezer....circuit tripped fuse in garage while he away and he lost the lot.

its sucks to open a pack and get a wiff of off meat, on a hot day it don't take long this time of year. try and get out of your pack and let it breath in the shade ,use pillow cases for meat bags , not the fancy ones you got as a wedding gift tho. . they are light weight , breath and easy to clean .
