Gut in the field
Fetch Game cart, return to camp
Hang from a rope around the antlers
Skin
Split sternum with hatchet, spread ribs with a stick for rapid cooling
Bag the next morning, allow a crust to form overnight
Hang bagged until return home
Continue hanging head up in the barn for a week or so, as long as temps allow
Split pelvis with hatchet
Cut, bag, and freeze
Now Pharm, you're doing it ALL wrong man !
Don't you know nuttin.
Man MY way is simpler - quicker - easier - cleaner,
What's not to like?
Whatever works for you and you like is THE answer.
