The Sausage I got from him was superb.  Will admit it took longer than told, but the sausage and meat was fine.

I had about 40 or 50 lbs of Caribou made into brat's by TVM. Same deal as Rog, it took too long, but the brat's are really good.

Corbanzo:  I heard all about this a month before it showed up in the paper.  Yes the guy took in far more than he could handle, but a lot of this was pushed forth by the other processors and the taxidermist in the area.  They were upset because he was getting such a large portion of what they considered their market.

Especially the Taxidermist, I heard several of them throwing a fit one night after a Game Board Advisory Committee meeting.

So while I do admit the guy screwed up and took in more than he could handle, It's being blown out of proportion by people trying to get him shut down to eliminate competition. 

Living in Fairbanks I see all the crap the Fairbanks Daily News Miner prints.  They are very biased and self serving in everything they print.  Anything that might make the police look bad either gets glossed over or just not printed at all.  Most articles are one sided, seldom will they print both sides of any story.

So if they print it, take it with a grain of salt and go looking for the truth.   So many of us in Fairbanks refuse to read that rag anyway, and they are going out of print because no one takes the paper.  Don't expect them to last much longer.  They are talking about charging for the on line version, and stopping the printed version.

I rate them one step above the National Enquirer.

Stopped at Tanana Valley meats this afternoon.  Had quite a talk with Stacy, the manager.  He told me about all the times he came in to work in the morning and found meat stacked on his loading dock.  Three and four days after the season closed in August when the temps were in the 60s, and meat was already smelling bad.  He had no idea where it came from or who owned it.  He tagged it with date and time and stuck it in the freezer.  This happened also during Moose season.  Meat was dropped off during the night and was already sour.  Same thing he tagged it and put it in the freezer.

Then those guys were the loudest screamers about how he let their meat go bad.  They told him they had dropped it off on the way home from their hunting trip, at 1 or 2 am, 3 or 4 days after the season.  They all claimed the meat was good when they dropped it off.  It may have been, but by the time Stacy came in it had soured.

Now honestly, how can he be held responsible for that?

As soon as he accepts it, it becomes his responsibility. 

It does put him in a tough situation, but if it were me, a simple one.  Don't accept it. 

You try and do something like that at AK sausage down here, they would have it thrown away before you could blink.  They won't even accept good meat if there is too much particulate matter (leaves, sticks, etc)

As soon as he brings in meat with any sign of spoilage, he is now transfering that spoilage to the other meat that gets processed.  So if I am a person who takes great care of my meat, gets it in at a good hour, and then it gets stored next to the jackass who left it rotting on the loading dock, my meat gets plenty screwed also. 

So he admittedly took in bad meat, went over the limit of his storage and processing capacity, and had meat which wasn't and in some cases couldn't be catalogued. 

I blame him fully for it.  If I am a responsible hunter, and trust my meat to him, it is his responsibility to make sure that my meat is protected.  Having any tainted meat on premisis, or receiving it without the ability to fully protect it is breaking that trust.
