Anyone know of a source? I called around a couple of years ago and wasn't successful in finding any.

I have a veterinarian friend who got me some from a medical supply place. You might see if someone in the medical field can get some for you?

Some health food stores have that stuff, I assume you're making sausages? If so you might consider using acsorbic acid/vitamin c.

It's good for dusting raw meat to keep the flies off and can be gotten at most agricultural supply stores.

I just ordered a pound. $4.00 per pound but $10.00 shipping.

Walmart has it.
Next to the scope rings and whitetail deer doe Lure.

They also have it at Sportsman's Warehouse.
Its next to the meat bags there.

Sincerely,
Thomas

Thomas: Bingo! Thanks for the help.

The "Real Lemon"juice in the plastic yellow lemons, mixed with water and sprayed through a spray bottle works fine. And the Real Lemons are easier to find than the powdered variety. That's my solution.

The cheapest black pepper you can find works great also. It is light to pack and takes up litte room. You know the reality is that after you let that meat crust over the flies won't bother it and even if they do your going to trim off that outside layer before butchering. I actually never put anything on quite few caribou and moose we shot while I lived in Alaska.

I agree with Mark.
I've never put anything on my meat. I buy the best game bags I can find, get the meat in them right away and hang them to dry.
I wash the bags and reuse them. Even though my wife soes that for me she really dislikes doing it, but the bags are expensive.

I have never used it either but unlike pepper, it retards bacterial growth and is helpful in moist, warm, conditions where getting the crust quickly is not a given. I've carried pepper but I'm not sure that it really does anything. (Recall seeing a discussion of that somewhere.) There is quite a bit of information in print and online about the use of citric acid. I did buy some from Walmart. It's packaged by Indian Valley Meats.

My next question is: For those who have used a battery powered sawzzall to saw down the backbone, what blade type works best? Never done this but gonna give it a try.
