The weather looks so nice where everyone is!

Deer gun season here is usually after all the farmers get done harvesting, which means the hanging critters may need thawed some years or the shop needs heated a bit...not always good and definitely puts the aging to a halt. One year I drug the critters in the kitchen to thaw and skinned them on the floor.

I like to do them in the field, quarter them into game bags and cooler age them, but that cuts into the hunting.

Deer are like squirrels; the skinning is a hell of a lot quicker the closer they are to being alive.
