I see no mention of skinning it. Moose hide retains heat for days. Remember what it is for....I have killed 3 and have skinned them and cleaned them on the spot. Never an oz. of spoiled meet due to temp. even in the 40s and 50s. Good air circulation is a must. how could they even think of going after such a beautiful animal and not know how to take care of it? That kind of thing gives us all a bad name.
