I have always hung my deer head up directly after harvesting, this allows me to gut them, and clean the chest cavity out VERY easily, after that, I take them to our garage, lay a tarp on the floor, and hang them head down, that makes it a lot easier to skin, and split the hind quarters and ribs. I let them hang a couple of days if it is cold out. Then I quarter them and put them in the freezer for a week. After that, I take them out and cut them up on the bandsaw.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)
