Sick to My Stomach!!!!!!!
 

Walked in my shed at 5:00 this morning and noticed a funny odor. Looked around and noticed my freezer door had a 2 inch crack in it. It had been like that since Wed. afternoon. I had to throw away 50 lbs of shrimp, 6 speckeled belly geese, a pack of teal, 15 lbs of ground beef, some fresh deer sausage, and some smoked deer sausage. It totaled almost a 94 quart ice chest of meat I threw away!! Luckily I was able to salvage a 48 quart ice chest of meat that was still cold enough (but defrosted). So I had to stay home today and I'm cooking a huge redfish courtboullion (spelling), a potato hash, a sausage gravy, frying an butt load of fish, a sausage and red gravy, and a chilli so that I can freeze it again.

At least I won't have to cook for a few weeks after eating on all of this. Makes me wanna start drinking now i'm so ticked off!! Just bought a latch to make sure the freezer closes all the way every time.

AND TO TOP IT OFF IT WAS MY FAULT!!:pissed:

mayun dats a lot of lost meat and a lot of cookin.... save me a plate lunch

May that bleauxs!!!!
Have had that happen with a freezer FULL deer meat, lucky for me it was all vacuum sealed, bags were blown up like balloons!

That's crap man!!

Thats a terrible situation. Hate to see that kinda meat go to waste.

I can best describe that feeling as "being kicked in da' nutz"! Sorry about your misfortune buddy, think of the good weekend you will have with all the meals cooked!!!!

That sucks. Same thing happened to my paw-n-law twice in 2 months, lost it all both times. Dog unplugged it the first and wind blew it open the 2nd. Glad you could still cook some.

I can't even imagine this happening twice!

One of my buddy's had to rub it in and said to think of all the money it costs me fishing and hunting to go catch and kill everything.

Dat sucks

Maybe I can get BD to donate some of his 12,000 lbs of tripple tail meat to restock my freezer?!?!?;)

man that hurts!! Just went check my freezer door

just a friendly tip...if your freezer has a lock use it. I keep the key on top and it only takes an extra second to lock/unlock.

That happened to me once about 100 pounds of shrimp, fish, ducks, geese, doves, bald eagle, spotted owl you name it i had it. Jk about the eagle and owl, but sorry to hear that man just gives you an excuse to go get more.

wish I had a lock. went buy a latch to put on it now so that I know for sure it is closed when i leave my shed

man that sucks!!!!!

I'm glad you cleared that up. :rolleyes:

What time should we all b there? I'm hungry already!!

My 10yo did the same hing a montha ago....bye bye snapper and tuna!!!

Sound like rita 6 yrs ago but we ate shrimp one night, sausage samichez the next and steaks for 2 weeks...that sucks sorry bro.

A while back I was getting ice out of the freezer to go fishing. To find the ice I took out a bag of vension and put it beside the freezer.

Yep.....found it the next day.

5 days after Rita [and no elect.] I came home. I had enough ice in the freezer that almost everything was still good......but had to be eaten. Took 2 big ice chest back to Lafayette to feed the other people staying there. I had brought one ice chest of stuff when we left.

That does suck for sure.

My dad called to tell me that while I was working in his shop and tripped the breaker (I told him on my way out) he should have went and reset it because his freezer was on the same circuit. He lost some redfish and bass. Not nearly as much as you, but it still sucks.
