Stalker Box

[Beowulf]

I think I'll just carry on in my own little way. I have got food poisoning from many a so called good eating house! Never from game and venison I have prepared myself.

Hi all
Thanks for all your comments on the Stalker box and other product range, certainly got a lot of people talking and web hits have gone through the roof.

Just another point what are your Biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of diseases such as Foot & Mouth, H5N1 Avian Bird Flu etc, where we are walking across land and moving from one farm to another, i have been informed by Deer stalkers and vermin controlers alike who have the products that land owners are asking what "Bio-Security Measures" they have and on producing the box this has more than pasified the land owners.

So what we offer is a full range of high level hygiene products covering all aspects of shooting, thus hopefully protecting us, our families, hobby and and livelihood.

Many thanks to you all and look forward to discussing more.

Regards

Hi Morena
Have made some investigation to questions about the Trigene Advance, Yes it is a disinfectant and not an anticeptic as you state????

With regards to the washing of hands and disposable clothing, this is when using any disinfectant and handling in its concentrate form and if exposed for long time, ie cleaning larder all day. Again as mentioned before there has to be a standard protection policy with all chemicals and there is NO HAZCHEM licence etc required for TriGene Advance, hence it is safe to send by post.

One other point re cost of disinfectant, while the 500ml is £10.00 you can by the 1ltr concentrate which makes up 200 ltrs at a cost of £35.00 which then calculates to .17p a litre, sounds to me that the dettol or whatever at £2.99 per 500ml is very very expensive.

i hope this answers your questions.

Interesting thread, this.

Can anyone quote an instance of human infection from contaminated game - particularly venison. I've never heard of it and wonder if anyone has?

Hi Mole. Well I am sure there have been instances, but none springs to mind at the moment, someone on here will probably come up with a particular case I have no doubt.

I have to admit I have never been asked by any landowner about my bio hazard plan And if I found any evidence of the three notifiable diseases, I would as required inform the Government vet for the area/county immediatly. Having said that if I saw a dead or alive deer with suspicions of anthrax I would beat a hasty retreat straight away

All in all this box is a reasonable idea, but not a reasonable price I fear.

I was slightly tongue-in-cheek when I raised this. As a species, man has been killing, butchering and scoffing venison under varying conditions - some of them wildly unhygienic. We seem to have survived OK.

My point is - do we really need the rafts of game handling legislation that have been imposed on us over the last few years, and are we going to be better off because of them? With the greatest respect to Fresco, there is no doubt that an industry has grown, and continues to grow, around the ever-increasing bureaucracy that is hampering stalking effort rather than enhancing it at a time when, more than ever, we need to be getting to grips with an expanding deer population.

Has new game & meat handling legislation been imposed because of a real and proven need, or because of political perception and meddling by publicly-paid people who are utterly detached from reality?

I suspect I know the answer.

The big problem here is all this crap come in from Europe and our lot fully embrace it and the rest of Europe play it lip service or ignore it totally.
