Flap's got it down perfect. I ice them, ice rink snow, within 15 min. of raking them. To me that is the key right on ice immediately, esp. if you are sellin them. I have gotten home hours later and some are still kick'in. Kept on ice and dry I have had them last 4 or 5 days. You want to keep somewhat dry too, not a lot of fluids in the bags. I also freeze them with a vacum sealer and they are good for months. Freeze asap not a few days later they need to be fresh raked and dry to freeze. The only problem is they loose a little color, but fluke luv em.
