No, according to them, it is all dumped into the Kotzebue Lagoon as the plane taxis in.....
Well, that did happen once....apparently - I only heard about it - it was before my time there.
I heard from elsewhere that the hunters were weathered in long enough for the meat to spoil.
If so, they did an extremely dumb thing, even tho they technically met the requirement to bring the meat out of the field. I dunno- they may even have been cited for wanton waste. If the meat was spoiled, a LEO should have signed off on it.
Never-the-less, the locals will be using the incident for the next 100 years, or until they get everything they want.
I have zero doubt that claim is made all over rural Alaska and the locals use it to their advantage.....
It very well may happen on occasion but I suspect it is very rare, or else the troopers would be all over it...
