Will the meat be fine?

[Triple 7]

Why not skin it and quarter it? Then put it on ice in the cooler?

Thanks y’all. She’s packed and wrapped.

Dad taught me not to let food go to waste, whenever possible. Helps that wild pork is delicious. Some of y’all don’t know what you’re missing.

[brysdad]

It’s fine

[STX_Shooter]

That’ll work, you’ll be good.

Shot a hog tonight, and my processor is going to be closed by the time I make it back to town. Hog is gutted, skin on. Ok to stuff the body cavity with ice and leave it wrapped in a tarp in the truck overnight? 48 now dropping to 38 overnight. Will be at the processor when they open at 8:00am.

I wouldn’t hesitate with a deer but I hear pork spoils easier?

Thanks y’all.

don't wrap it with tarp! ice in cavity ok. but needs the air to chill out

I’d leave it where i shot it. But that’s just me

I drag em to a bone pile. Shot 2 yesterday evening and needed some camp meat so I removed the backstraps before of disposing them. The carne guisada I made this evening was excellent.


OP, you oughta to be good to go.

Not to worry

[TacticalCowboy]

You good

[AntlerCollector]

It would have been better to skin it asap. That helps the meat cool down much faster.

Will be fine. Better to have skinned and put on ice, but maybe you didn't have a ice chest. Anyrate, Plenty cold out and she will be fine.

[hooligan]

Yup. I would personally skin though.

Good push Chief. I was thinking the same thing...potentially..the tarp and trapped warm body air will insulate the porker from the cool air.

Give it the silver bullet 30-30 and let see the results.

I just don't eat them, meat should be fine though.

Why though? Best game meat around.

I used to cut the back straps out and cook them at the lease. Don't get me wrong it's good, I m just to the point where I want to kill as many of the *******s as I can. Starting with the giant boars.

Gutted and stuffed with ice, in this weather, IMO it should be fine. Last hog I shot was a sow, and the meat was delicious. Best way to test if it is good meat is to cut some of the fat off and fry it. If it smells and tastes like bacon it is good. Shot a big boar once that tasted too wild to eat.
