Actually my son got this one yesterday with his .270. And it is a bit warm. That is why he is skinned. And getting chopped tomorrow. I can temp control the shed if it is cold. Usually it is much colder this time of year and we can let them hang for a few days in the shed before we skin them. I like to keep them at 35-37 degrees until they start to grow a bit of mold.
It is bow season here in Pa, but I do not partake due to warm weather and lack of facilities to care for the meat. It has only been going down to the high 30’s lately and only one hard freeze so far this year. My deer hunting starts after thanksgiving.
Your son shot a fine deer. You must be a proud father,
