That's a real drag. We about lost some game meat around 4 or 5 years ago due to the freezer going bad. We would of lost the majority of 1 moose, plus about 50-60 salmon, halibut, and whatever other store bought stuff we had in there. Luckily Sears rushed us up a new one and we didn't lose any meat. We also had some problems with electrical and the circuit kept popping to the freezer. What had happened is we put too much meat in at once and it was running hard and long, and we found out that the washing machine plus some other outlets were on the same breaker.

From that happening to us, and what just happened to you, hopefully people will start checking their freezers daily. Something you don't think you really have to do, but to lose that much meat really sucks!

lonebowman, we go through 100+ salmon, around 100 pounds or more of halibut, a bull moose ~350-500lbs, a few hundred pounds of caribou and whatever else we can fit in the freezer in less than a year.
