Truly a first world problem, so I’m thankful that its not the end of the world, especially at this time of year. Things could be much worse, and as you finish reading this opening post, you probably won’t feel that bad for me. So here goes.....
I lost nearly ALL of my first elk (split with my hunting partner) plus a solid 40 lbs of whitetail.
We are in the demo phase of a major home renovation (Read as basically building a new home). The power was disconnected 2-3 weeks ago for removal of huge trees inout backyard and hasn’t been reconnected. This removed power to my he-shed which is where the deep freezer WAS located. We are currently living in a condo in the downtown area without any acceptable place to move the deep freezer when we moved out. My wife didn’t like the idea of covering the thing with a table cloth in the kitchen area of the condo.
Went to the house today to check on the progress, get some of the meat for fajitas and tacos so my in-laws could try it tomorrow, and get some of my Texas-rig decoy lines for some new duck decoys I recently purchased after a much needed upgrade. I discovered that there was no power when I opened the freezer and inhaled an ominous odor. I began weeping on the spot. Worked hard for that meat, not only in regards to paying for the trip, but also in the “sweat equity” if the trip itself. Not to mention that the whitetail were also taken off of Public land, one of them being a great 3.5 yr old buck off of heavily hunted SC land.
Truly sick at my stomach. I’ve got 4 lbs of ground in my condo freezer. I was really looking forward to those roasts (especially the neck) that I won’t get to experience. Haven’t eaten any yet as my wife refuses to eat until the baby comes which is any day now. She feels horrible for me, but slightly balked when I told her I’d be going again next season.
I haven’t even deer hunted in SC that hard because I have no freezer space. Now, I have no freezer.
All I want for Christmas is another tag. Thanks for reading, and if you feel so inclined, pour a stiff liquor drink for me. Preferably a nice Scotch, as I’ve been banned from that now that we’re nearing D-Day.
