Plan ahead to ensure you end up with quality game meat in the freezer

Some early season hunting opportunities have already begun in Idaho, with additional archery seasons and moose hunts starting in September. While early season hunts can provide an excellent opportunity to harvest a big game animal, warm weather brings additional challenges when it comes to properly caring for game meat to prevent it from spoiling, especially when dealing with larger animals like moose and elk.

The key to preserving meat in hot weather is to begin the cooling process as quickly as possible. Meat spoils the quickest around the ball joints in the hip and underneath the front shoulders. Your harvest should be immediately skinned, reduced to quarters, and quickly transported to cold storage. In larger animals it may even be necessary to make some cuts in between muscles to the bone to allow heat to escape. Larger muscle masses take a long time to cool, and meat can spoil in a matter of hours if heat cannot escape. Read more

Many hunters try to beat an animal’s nose by playing the wind, only to have hunt after hunt ruined by sudden shifts in wind direction. With Scent Thief®, hunters can use the wind as their cover.

Unlike other products that try to mask or destroy human odors, Scent Thief addresses the root of the problem: animals’ noses. Scent Thief’s unique double-patented No Smell Technology™ shuts down an animal’s best defense, its ability to smell. By relaxing the nasal epithelium, a key component of an animal’s olfactory system, Scent Thief temporarily disables an animal’s sense of smell. Animals must inhale Scent Thief for it to work. For maximum effectiveness, hunters should reapply every 60-90 minutes to keep Scent Thief swirling in the surrounding area. Read more
