What happens after you fill the freezer? Most hunters don’t think twice—until they’re forced to.

In this episode, I share how I lost over 200 pounds of wild game meat—axis, whitetail, aoudad—all gone because of one simple, preventable mistake.

After years of hunting, and butchering, I found myself doing something I hadn’t done in about four years… buying red meat at the grocery store.

This isn’t just a story about loss, it’s a wake-up call for every hunter who trusts their freezer without a second thought. I never thought this would happen to me and yet here I am. I break down exactly what happened, the hard lessons I learned, and the $40 tool that could save your entire season and all of your hard earned meat.

If you hunt, if you value every ounce of what you bring home don’t overlook this.
