I honestly can\'t remember the last time I cried but I seriously feel like I am now. My first deer...gone...about 35#.
 
That sucks. How long was it not working? Even if the meat thawed and was leaking blood as long as the temp of the meat was not above 50 very long it should be fine. Is there any odor to it or brown color? I have had one get unplugged for 4 days and only the top couple package were soft to touch. It all tasted fine when I ate it.
 
Dang Lark, so sorry to hear about all this. Sounds like you\'re getting your annual dose of bad luck all at once. :downthumb:

I hope things turn around for ya ! :angle:
 
Sorry to hear about your run of bad luck Tom! Just means we have to work extra hard next year to bring an elk off that mountain. I have a little deer leftover still as well that you are more than welcome to. Let me know!
 
The meat was room temperature. It had been two weeks since I was last in it. The stench was enough to tell me that I wanted no part of it.

The truck...well, I parked in my driveway last night around 8:00 and it was gone at 7:00 this morning.

I had a coworker tell me when I got into work...\"Bad things happen in three\'s\". :? I can hardly wait to see what\'s next.
 
Just wanted to offer some support before your computer breaks. Keep your chin up. season is only 9 months away
 
Gloom, despair, and agony on me. If it weren\'t for bad luck I\'d have no luck at all!

Sounds like you could star on some of those old He-Haw reruns. The meat is lost but I hope they find your truck and in good shape. Keep us posted!
 
Holy crap Lark, this sounds like a bad country music song...keep an eye on your dog.

In all seriousness Lark, I hope things start looking up for you.
 
Lark, so sorry about your misfortune. I had an ATV stolen, so I know how pissed off I was at the theives and could do nothing about it and can understand a little of what you are going through. Hopefully you get it back in the same shape. Sorry about the freezer and lost meat as well.
 
I know there is no replacing the deer. I hope you get your truck back in the condition you had it. Bummer! :cry:
 
Lark, sorry to hear about your truck and freezer. I had my truck broke into two days ago. If you need some venison I will shoot you a couple of deer,have them processed the way you want pack them in dry ice and send them to you. Always willing to help when i can.
 
All, Thank you for the offers for some deer meat. I may take you up on it so I can keep my kids interested in game meat but I will sit on that one until after the Christmas/New Year break. Thank you all very much for the offers!

I don\'t know what I did as a young adult for Karma to come back around and kick my ass the way it did last week but here\'s a brief summary on my week.

Tues: I get a call to come pick up my son who is in the middle of a migraine.
Wed: Find out my freezer went out and I lose all my deer meat.
Thur: I wake up to find my truck went missing.
Thur night: I go to my son\'s basketball game, where a male parent decided to get belligerent with my wife, physically assaults her and I get into a fist fight.
Fri: I ended my lovely week with dinner with my family only to break a molar during the meal.
:clap:

Good one Karma...good one... :haha:

:thewave:
 
Wow Lark, I guess they were wrong about bad things happening in three\'s...sorry to hear about that. One thing I have always noticed is that the people who get tested like that are typically the ones who can handle it, which is a testament to you. If I had that sort of thing happen to me...let\'s just say I don\'t think I would be able to handle it as well as you ;)

I think I remember that you live somewhere near where I do, so I will also throw out the offer for some Antelope meat. I am hoping to make some jerkey and potentially some sausage in the next few weeks, so if you would like some to share with the family, let me know! In the meantime, keep your head up. Everything happens for a reason.
 
My meat offer still stands.

I also just got a new dehydrator and plan on trying a few batches of elk and venison jerky... I can always send some of that too. :upthumb: :wave:



Any man who thinks they can assault a women has a special place in hell. I hope you gave him a few good lefts and a solid right :agg:
