Snakes are probably fine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Deanna Thompson Moderator Reg: 10-27-2001 Posts: 2261 Loc: Eastern Maine Offline	Thanks OED. I was aware of the trichinosis in bear meat, but if you freeze it for an extended period of time I believe it will die off much the same way as it will with pork. I can get a ton of bear as no one really kills them for the meat. Most people want them for a nice rug. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I talked to my local game inspection station and butcher and they have to PAY to have the bones hauled off... so if you are feeding raw and there is a lot of hunting in your area I suggest asking around. If I don't haul them off they are going to be made into soap and cosmetics(and people wonder why I don't wear makeup)... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

One of my sons-in-law is a deer hunting fanatic and our freezer is usually full through the winter. old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks

Lynn Cheffins Webboard User Reg: 04-17-2002 Posts: 617 Loc: Offline	I wouldn't feed any wild game raw except for beaver which has been hard frozen. I definately wouldn't feed deer or moose raw - way to many parasites- check out this http://www.nwtwildlife.rwed.gov.nt.ca/Publications/diseasepamphletweb/hydatiddisease.htm scroll down to "samples to collect" - eek I've fed bear but always cooked it (makes lovely sausage,too) If you feed game you have to maintain a good worming program with a broad spectrum wormer that gets all types of tape along with other worms.
