Went to pull out some meat for dinner tonight this AM and noticed that one of my freezers went out.
I need your opinion on this... everything was thawed, but still cool... but had definately defrosted. I put all in my other freezer. Will this meat still be good?

I would say yes. There was no contamination of the meat and it was still cool. May alter the taste slightly, but should not cause any health concerns.

It will be okay. If I were you I'd go through that meat first, though, and save the rest for later. The meat may get an "off taste".

thanks for the input guys...
4 of this years deer in there and some of my moose from last year... would hate to have it ruined.

Bank

It won't be ruined, bro, don't worry about that. SOMETIMES when you thaw and re-freeze something it will taste a bit off, but that's not always the case. Even if it tastes a bit different, you really won't notice it unless you're eating plain meat.

Thanks Bank...
where abouts in NY & CT do you hunt?

Bank

Windham County in CT and it's been years and years since I've done any hunting in NY.
