Happened to me last year. Lost the venison that was in there as well as an entire hog that I had picked up from the locker just a week earlier. Definitely a bad deal. Sorry about your situation.

The same thing happened to me when I just left for Iraq. My wife had to clean it out, and she wasnt very happy. Blood was all over the garage. I think the neighbors thought she chopped me up with me being gone at the same time.

Had the meat from my deer and my 7 year olds buck in the dedicated venison freezer. Opened it up today to get some ground for sausage making this weekend and it was all rancid. Freezer was warm. It stunk to high heaven, blood dripping from the racks.
No venison and the season ended on Saturday. Even worse is my little guy has no meat from his first.
What a sick and depressing feeling.

damascus I urge you to shoot Barnes a PM or email because this is a very important time and a great opportunity to show his youngster how things should be done in our deep brotherhood.
I certainly wouldn't let it pass by.

I had the same thing happen to me.
My freezer was full of sirloin steak, and hamburger from sirloin steak.
I would buy whole sirloins, when they were on sale.
Pork chops, and all sorts of chicken.
around 350 to 400 lbs worth.
I had to throw it all away.
It made me sick.
The bad thing is I didn't have the money to replace it.
So I know what you feel like.
Things like that happen.
You just have to go on, and forget it.
