Thread: Fly blown venison

Freezer is your friend but lay packages in thin layer not all in a heap. Many years ago Dad came home on hot summer's day having skinned line of possums.the blowies had beaten him to them so mechanical rice all through his string pikau full of skins. So he chucked whole shebang in freezer thinking that would kill them all and he could thaw them out in week or two and process skins.WRONG. the fur insulated them and when bag was removed..a shell of skins n fur surrounded a moving ball of horrid fat maggots. They don't like vinegar you say??? Good to know,they hate janola bleach,perfect when they on concrete floor or in drain.
