It's been told to me by reliable sources that the quicker you get the hide of and the quicker you cool the meat the better eating it will be. I heed that information and skin my animal the same day regardless of temps.

From what I understand, the longer the hide stays on the animal, the more gamey it will taste.

This makes logical sense to me!!

I like to get them hung and quartered the same day and cut up and packaged within 2 days afterwards!!
