Turkey meat question

[Paulmyr]

I would think it more of  a paletabilty issue than a safety issue if your cooking the meat properly.

Lots of great responses guys. I appreciate the feedback.

I travel to hunt deer every fall and my neighboring state of Maryland where I do most of my deer hunting accepts donations of deer to feed the hungry. I have done this on trips to the Midwest and in marylands urban deer zones. I never heard of a program for turkey but think it would be cool. I have never had anyone turn down fresh turkey meat that I offered it to.

Bucket of acetone and some dry ice, flash freeze

If I'm not going to be home in the next few days, ill give it to a local.

Drive home and freeze what you shoot before going to the next destination. Break up your trips.

Gotta say, I'm not so confident on keeping something on ice for weeks and eating it.

It needs to be frozen as far as food safety is concerned.


A couple days maybe
A couple weeks and the cats get it ...
