By far the best tasting wild game we have ever had. The buck we only saved the loin and the rest went to sausage meat the doe and fawns we saved all cuts and triming meat went to sausage. We did gut right away however we did not skin right away. We actually had temps right at freezing during our four day trip and went and found a tree along a creek and pulled them all up in it then on the last day had butcher party and cleaned them all and put into trash bags until we got home then rewraped and froze. Also ours eat sage brush there was no crops for miles and ours tasted amazing. the most tender meat I have ever eaten.
