DON'T WASTE WILD MEAT Many tons of wild meat spoils each hunting season befor~ ii is gotten home by the hunter Most of this loss is the result of souring, and a small percent due to flies. Except for ignorance, there can be no excuse for wild meat spoiling in an altitude as high and dry as Colorado's at any time of year (even in the middle of the summer). Every big game hunter should supP.lY himself with enough cheesecloth, light muslin, sacking material, or "beef tubing" to enclose the amount of meat he is entitled to take . There is only one sure way of being sure to have wholesome meat when you gel home. If the following formula is followed there will be no spoiled meat: Bleed your animal properly as soon as ii is down. Dress ii out immediately after being bled. Wipe off all blood, and body or digestive fluids in case these have been released, using a dry cloth or even dry grass for the purpose. Cut out all bloodshot areas around bullet wound. Skin and quarter the carcass as soon as dressed out and wrap each quarter individually in thin cloth or place in sacks previously prepared (100 pound capacity sugar or flour sacks are adequate for deer quarters but are too small for elk). Hang the quarters thus covered in the shade in a good circulation of air. The cloth will keep flies away and the meat will cool fast enough to prevent souring. The cause for meat souring is that the body heat is not eliminated fast enough to prevent the hatching of microscopic organisms that are present in the air at all times . On your hunt this fall prepare to take proper care of your meat. Devote a little additional time and do the job right. Be sure to retain some evidence of sex in connection with the carcass. Keep meat as cool and dry as possible during transit. 22 �-1946Promises To Be A Most Critical Fire Year - SO REMEMBER If YOU Want More Game PREVENT FIRES - and LOOK BEFORE YOU SHOOT � https://cpw.cvlcollections.org/files/original/bc39ead349c749a689483d39b1227474.pdf 7f7d40a1fb9dd2c1b9cd31f521bbdc65 PDF Text Text 1947 Hunting and Fishing Seasons I Bay .Pundd. anJ.

Most of this loss is the result of souring, and a small percent due to flies. Except for ignorance, there can be no excuse for wild meat spoiling in an altitude as high and dry as Colorado's at any time of year (even In the middle of the summer). Every big game hunter shall supply himself with enough cheesecloth, light muslin, sacking material, or "beef tubing" to enclose the amount of meat he is entitled to take. There is only one sure way of being certain to have wholesome meat when you get home_ If the following formula is followed there will be no spoiled meat: Bleed your animal properly as soon as it is down. Dress it out immediately after being bled. Wipe off all blood, and body or digestive fluids in case these have been released, u _sing a dry cloth or even dry grass for the purpose. Cut out all bloodshot areas around bullet wound. Skin and quarter the carcass as soon as dressed out and wrap each quarter i!'ldividually in thin cloth or place in sacks previously prepared (100 pound capacity sugar or flour sacks are adequate for deer quarters but are too small for elk). Hang the quarters thus covered in the shade in a good circulation ;I air. The cloth will keep flies away and the meat will cool fast enough to prevent souring. The cause of meat souring is that the body heat is not eliminated fast enough to prevent the hatching of microscopic organisms that are present in the air at all times. On your hunt this fall prepare to take proper care of your meat. Devote a little additional time and do the job right. Be sure to retain some evidence of sex in connection with the carcass. Keep meal as cool and dry as possible during transit. �. \ Promises To Be A M;st Critical Fire Year - SO REMEMBER If YOU Want More Game PREVENT FIRES • _{· f -and . ....: . ~ ' . \ .
