General Discussion

There’s businesses that are set up to process the meat of wild animals — and they also have meat storage lockers because those critters are very big.

I know this from 2 personal experiences, one when I was a small child and the other when I was over 60.

When I was a little kid, maybe 5 or 6 years old, one of my dad’s work-buddies brought down an elk. He gave some of the meat to my dad, and we ate that portion of elk for what seemed like forever. The meat was stored in a rented meat locker.

When I was an adult, my SIL offered me some ground deer meat. An amazing story unfolded, about how she taught both of her sons to hunt, before I ever knew her. Professionals did some of the butchering and cleaning work for them, including making sausage (a tricky process) and storing the meat they didn’t have room for at home.

I think my SIL is an amazing woman. I think those boys at Cornell are young idiots.
