You guys think that the meat would still be good to eat? It has been below freezing the past few days and will stay below freezing tonight as well.

I just drop em in frozen. 4hrs at 140 then pan sear in a skillet http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php

I had those concerns myself in the past but got the same advice you are here and it was correct as expected with such a knowledge group of people. I also cook them in a crock pot like a roast the most. But beaver can be used in anything you would put beef in.
