I NEVER allow an animal to freeze anymore with it's skin on. I learned that lesson the hard way with deer, elk and once with a buffalo and once with a moose. SUX is not a harsh enough word to describe it.

If I know I must leave an animal in the cold I skin it before I leave it, even if I do so on the ground and even if I do so by flashlight or firelight. It's worth the time to build a fire and skin a buffalo, elk moose deer or anything else----- to avoid the horrid job of skinning it later when it's solid. Always carry a light and fresh batteries. ALWAYS!
