Meat salvage
Posted by AkHunter45 on Dec 06 2005
For me, the taking of a game animal is a huge thing, that animal was a living, breathing being and should be treated with the utmost respect. I always take a little time to reflect on what i just did and why, it helps me to appreciate the animals life all that much more. When it comes to salvaging the meat, it's important for me to "give back" to nature as a small offering for what it gave me. I'm not saying that i throw away good edible meat, i'm talking about the fat, sinew, bones, innards, hide, skull or the meat that was too badly bloodshot to save. Mother nature doesn't let anything go to waste and neither should we but sometimes it can't be helped and what we are unable to salvage will be used by the scavengers and predators. Even if the law didn't require us to keep the meat i believe that most of us would anyways, for our own different reasons. I've been fortunate enough to have been able to recover all meat from every animal i have taken and hopefully that will continue but if it doesn't and i end up losing some for whatever reason, I know it will get used and not wasted and that in itself is a tiny comfort. Hopefully this all makes sense.
