Everyone who hunts needs to know: The key to useable meat is to get it skinned, dressed, quartered and COLD as soon as possible.
Ive seen deer hanging in a tree with the hide on for two days, with daytime temps in the 60s, only to be tken home...butchered and wrapped...only to be thrown out a few months later.
Because the meat was crap.
Do the work and get your meat to a locker within 24hrs at the latest. 6 hours is best.
“less obvious” Because people are too pampered. All meat comes packaged in the grocery store.
This is why I don’t hunt. It sounds like fun until you take your shot. After that, its nothing but work.

So, I should take a walk-in freezer with me hunting. Got it.
One of these days, I’ll go try it. Hopefully, before I get too old to hump up and down those mountains.
Tie it to the roof of the car so that it can air cool on the drive home.
