I hunt here in Florida,
Good advice Charlie Brown. I was raised and taught to field dress immediately. At our WMA they would prefer the entire animal BUT you don't have to. I've already let them know i will be field dressing immediately. Folks here are hanging their game on the hooks that they weigh it in on.1/4 it ...and run it on down to the closest convenient store to ice her down. The meat is still very good. I have never lost any and it is usually around 70s here in Florida in Nov. at mid day.
