CuseHunter Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I have never hunted in early October. Last year was my first bow season and didn't get to the woods until first week in November. So with that being said, what do you guys do with a deer if you get one? Normally I hang it upside down with the pully and put a bag of ice and let it hang and drain for a couple days then butcher it. With this warmer temps I cant see how it would be a good idea to let it hang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WELLSY Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Bring it to the butcher and pay for a hang dry in the fridge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hack and wrap immediately, or take a trip to the processor. No hanging of deer in near 80 degree temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genesee_mohican Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I hang mine up, skin it, quarter it and put it in the fridge to cool for a day or so, then start cutting it up at my leisure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-bone20917 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I skin quarter and put in a large cooler with ice until I can cut it up. Hopefully it will cool down soon so we can just let them hang. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
