Somebody said they drop one at the butcher in warm weather. I don't do that here in Pennsylvania. It might be a state law only here, but nothing with hooves and hair can go in the cooler with dressed meat. I know guys here that tell me they run for the butcher in warm weather, but they don't know the deer is laying in a shed until they get to skin it. I get big zip-lock bags and just quickly put chunks of meat in ice coolers until I can trim and cut it to size. It is easier to cut once the meat is chilled anyway.
