Self butchering, hang by head or hind legs?
Hey everyone, I was just reading the post on "washing out" the deer and noticed quite a few said they hang the deer by the head. My dad taught me how to butcher a deer but I only had about 2 or 3 chances at it before i moved out of state. Since then I've just taken it to a processor since Im mostly lazy and i remember for me the whole process taking a heck of a lot of time. Well I want to give it a shot this year, mostly to save money and secondly, I got a nice piece of land to hunt for once so im hoping to really fill the freezer. I was taught to hang the deer by the hind legs and skin down towards the head and go from there. Is there an advantage to hanging by the head or is it mostly just personal preferrence?
