we always hang our dder by the head and skin it from the neck down. we find if there is
any extra fluids in the body cavity still, that they drain out a lot easier

i noticed in another thread that someone had hung their deer by the head. how many other ppl practice this??? i dont and you never see it in new england. i think its degrading to hang a deer this way. imo. whats everyone elses thoughts. and i dont want the song and dance that
"if your gonna mount it" cuz my brother is a taxidermist and thats a false statement
i dont think the deer really cares how you hang it, we all have to remember now, its dead by the time its hanging, head down or head up. lol

thats why its called feild dressing then when you hang it up you finish splitting the brisket. all your "fluids" will drain i assure you.
besides, i shoulda known you would hang it by the head being up there in canada lol
