Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Expand Actually what that means is that the folks in the south have to deal with this stuff on a regular basis and do. In the southern zone, heck, bow season USED to open 10/15 and NOT 10/1.............we didn't have to deal with as much heat generally with the mid-October opener as we do now. 14 days later could make a big difference in temps as many people (myself included) usually wait a week to ten days until after opening day to start to get fired up. Another thing, most guys use butchers. Lots of butchers around our area do NOT have coolers to store many bow killed deer. As you know, spoilage can happen dang fast...................

I learned down south that spoilage didn't happen as fast as I thought it did. Before I lived down there I wouldn't have thought of hunting when it's this warm out now I know that you have plenty of time even if it's a marginal hit and you have to wait 5 or 6 hrs. As long as you get them cooling they turn out just fine.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a fear factor challenge. Sorry but your so wrong. I have family in Louisiana and there is no way in hell your waiting 5 or 6 hrs. The people from the south choose shot selection way more carefully in the south than we do cause they know what the heat will do to a dead animal in that heat. Rule of thumb through the food eministration is 4 hours between temps of 49 and 140 . After that call it coyote bait. Best of luck you must have an iron stomach.

I'm just going on what family tells me and if those Cajuns won't eat it sure as hell I won't and they eat roadkill sometimes Edited September 27, 2017 by sodfather 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
