Float trips have thier advantages and disadvantages..One of the disadvantages is that they make meat care more problematical...
Meat keeps surprisingly well if it is put in meat bags, allowed to form a crust, hung in the shade and kept dry..This is more difficult to do on a float hunt when you are making and breaking camp often and jostling the meat bags around..
There are also some hazards associated with float trips, such as death by drowning...

The float trip was a wonderful adventure, but after doing one, I decided I would rather hunt from a fixed camp in a good spot...
