Ive allways have hung my deer by the back legs(mind thought)..when its still warm the blood will work its way to the neck and head"when its hot out".if I get a deer in late Nov or Dec its cold enoughto let it hang without useing Ice to help it cool down..
Washing out the chest cavity and and hind end is a giveme before I even get it in my garage.....
As soon as I hang it in the garage I take the hide off too the neck and cut the head offasp,its easier when its still somewhat warm...IMO...
