Or hang it while waiting to process, in which case you don't want it frozen. Originally Posted by Dirt Originally Posted by Rat Masterson Boco couldn't catch a cold.

Everything I have is either drying under fans or into the freezer waiting to be thawed out and fleshed so no reason for a cooler in my shop. Besides in Febuary when I am thawing things it is like a cooler in some of my shop. LLL Isaiah 51:6 But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.
