transporting meat
 

I moved from New Hampshire to Tucson, AZ just after a Moose hunt. I loaded the frozen packaged meat in the small freezer and packed it with blankets and loaded it on the moving van. Still frozen when it arrived!

I grew up in CO but spent a lot of time on the east coast. I went home hunting as often as I could and I hauled a lot of deer/elk and antelope back east. I got some good coolers and boned the meat. Put 5 or 6 lbs of dry ice in the coolers and seal them good including putting duct tape around the lid seam. Meat will keep 3 or 4 days like this. if you'll be longer you may need to augment the dry ice with some regular ice and keep the cooler sealed.

You are under the mistaken impression that I abused this property or damaged this property -- the hotel room. I don't think that was the case. I didn't leave a bunch of crap in the shower. I cleaned up after myself. What do you suppose I do with my meat at home? I butcher it, in my own house. I clean up after myself when I am done. The only thing that is different in the instance I described in Gillette was I did this in my hotel room and rinsed the meat in the shower tub rather than in my kitchen sink at home.


I will allow this is dubious behaviour. But life is not all black and white: it is not all a matter of "this is OK but that is totally beyond the pale." Again, I cleaned up after myself. I actually showered in the shower the next morning. I bet the maids and later occupants could never have deduced what I had done.


I guess I would add some more details, in case this is relevant. I had field dressed the animals at the kill site and had skinned and quartered them in the field. Thus I was taking skinned quarters of pronghorn into the hotel room: no guts, no hair. As I say, I have done the exact same thing in my home numerous times, the only difference being I used the hotel shower-tub instead of a kitchen sink to rinse the meat. Clean-up after the job is the key.

You do not have the right to do what ever you wish in a rented motel room. I think most people would agree, sleeping, eating, drinking, that kind of stuff, not cleaning your game. No sense to argue, I am not ever going to agree with your lack of common sense.

Lol...how's it any different then if I bought a t-bone at the store, brought it back to the hotel to BBQ and rinsed it off in the sink before I seasoned it and put it on the grill?

You're not American are you?

No sense trying to be rational with an irrational person. Just part of the touchy feely crowd who get insensed over nothing. Washing blood down the bathtub drain is probably cleaner than washing body dirt down the drain.

It is called RESPECT....apparently something you boys know little about. If you get permission to do so from owner or manager then that is fine. Sneaking it in, naw that's wrong....even if you can not see it.

Get over yourself!!

Really? Thanks, coming from a plumbing family, I had no idea of that. Have you found any car washes in Montana or Wyoming that use recycled water....there is one in Billings, just built it a couple years ago. I am sure, carrying bags of game into a sleeping room, a drop of blood is never spilled. I am guessing that if you asked at motel, they would instruct you to use hose. Just because your wrong, you need to call someone irrational? Dang....if I could just be as smart as you...lol.

Sadly, you just proved you can not!
