RE: How long to soak deer
I soak it till I want it cleaned up. Nov. 8 I filled my blackpowder tag with a nice doe, skinned her, took the good meat and only soaked tit for about 6 hours. Now it is packaged and I have a batch of jerky on the go. I think it depends on the animal. A rutting buck I would probably let hang a little while, then let it soak in salt water at least a day.
