Looks like a great start Lloyd. Is that walleye poking out from under the peppers?
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

It sure is James.
Sitting at DIA & headed to Cleveland today, so the rest of the photos will have wait. Found a bag of grouse (while digging for the fish) that had been harvested in 2010(!). After thawing it out and then brining it, my family and I had that bacon-wrapped for our 31st Anniversary supper last night. Tasted as good as fresh!
Always fun to get the freezer ready for Fall.

What a great scoff, Lloyd. Walleye is a wonderful fish. Properly wrapped fish and game lasts a long time.

Before I got my wife a shrink wrap machine, I froze all my fish and game in water. The surrounding ice prevented freezer burn, but some of it was better than others. Snook filets last maybe forever, while Seatrout gets ugly after a year. Turkey breasts seem to have a great freezer life...Geo

I had serious qualms about those birds. Six years is a new (& regrettable!) record for us. As was mentioned above, freezing in ice really helps w/freezer burn and brining is key for making the meat moist again. It was like I'd shot them last week.

I have had excellent results freezing fully feathered, un-gutted woodcock in vacuum bags, but I usually clean and cook them within 6-9 months.

My wife puts up with a lot from me. I have a pretty good idea what her reaction would be to me shrink wrapping un-plucked, un-cleaned dead animals and sticking them in her freezer. Don't think I'll try that one...Geo
