Well the weather has been out of wack. I wish it would get back to nornal. Luckily I have acess to a walk in cooler. We hang are deer for at least a week. But back when the cooler wasnt available I would ask the butcher to hang for a couple days. This rifle season I was hunting in a t-shirt usually its so cold you have to wear layers upon layers of clothes. But when we came out of the woods we would load the deer harvested and go straight to the cooler. I wouldnt let deer hang outside if the temp was above 40. take to butcher or walk in and let em hang for a week. Tender vittles... good luck to all
