• Vacuum Sealing: Seal all portions into dinner-sized meals.

Labeling and Tracking Requirements

• Bag Information: On every vacuum-sealed bag, you must write your name, shipping address, and phone number.

• Inventory Control: Label each bag with its contents and number every bag so we can track the total count for your shipment.

• Weight Verification: If your harvest is close to the 200 lb limit, you are required to weigh all items to ensure an accurate manifest.

Storage and Packaging for Transit

• Duffel Bag Loading: Place vacuum-sealed portions into duffel bags, ensuring no individual bag exceeds 50 lbs.

• Final Labeling: Securely attach duct tape to the outside of the duffel bag labeled with your name, address, and phone number.

• Freezer Storage: Once labeled, place the entire duffel bag into the chest freezers to maintain the cold chain.

Trophy, Hide, and Antler Preparation

• Hide Preservation: Hides must be skinned with no meat remaining, treated with a deep salt rub, and drip-dried for 10 hours before a second salt bath.

• Hide Packaging: Fold the treated hide into a size no larger than 24″ x 24″, place it in a plastic bag with your contact info, and leave it at the lodge for consolidated shipping.

• Antler Care: Cut antlers at the base of the skull and clean them thoroughly.

• Point Protection: Tightly secure pieces of garden hose to every antler point to prevent damage during transit.

• Antler Labeling: Place antlers in a clear, taped-shut bag with your name, address, and phone number.
