RE: post kill question?
I prefer to throw them on my front rack of the 4-wheeler, or throw them in the back of the pickup, if shot in the field...
This keeps the coat clean so you don't get your hands all dirty when skinning...I usually take mine to the barn and hang and clean...I don't mess with gutting anymore...I then throw them in the bucket of the Deere and haul the carcus back to the woods and dump it out for the coyotes...
