Take Care of that Game Meat!

Hunting always requires some advanced planning and equipment check. Big game hunting requires some special preparation in the event you are successful. Hunting isn’t over until you have completed the process of dressing, transporting and caring for the animal. For the novice hunter these final important tasks are often the most daunting of the hunt.

The Washington State University Cooperative Extension has an excellent booklet entitled, Big Game from Hunt to Home, by W. Daniel Edge, Jan R. Busboom and Carolyn A. Raab. This 44-page booklet has many very helpful hints and instruction for all hunters, experienced and novice. It is available from the Bulletins Office, Washington State University, P.O. Box 645912, Pullman, Washington 99164-5912 or via telephone 1-800-723-1763. Its modest price of $2.50 plus handling is well worth the investment.
