I have been on hunts where we killed and gutted a pig or deer and didn't get it on ice for days - it only makes it better. <br /><br />Here's a clue - our nose is highly evolved to keep us alive. If it doesn't smell bad, it's good to eat. If it DOES smell bad, chances are there are portions of it - even more than half - that are fine. You can hang meat for weeks, months, even years. It dries out and preserves it. You have to cut off the mold and bacteria growth, but inside you have cured meat (salame) which is delicious. <br /><br />Don't think too much, you'll only hurt the ballclub...mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-33734022145124060102016-01-10T10:53:28.177-05:002016-01-10T10:53:28.177-05:00Link's broken, but I sense "Sprockets&quo...<i>Link's broken, but I sense "Sprockets". </i><br /><br />You got me!<br /><br />P.S. I have no problem with beef cuts that are on sale thanks to "sell by" date.

So maybe they get you on the Freon™, like Gillette gets you on the blades.<br /><br />I usually scope the clearance section in the meat dep't., which I jovially refer to as "used" meat.M.
