After the kill timeline
hey guys this is my first post here, and am looking for a little information. What is your process after you kill a deer? I would imagine that first thing is field dressing. I know temperature plays a role in the amount of time you have, but how soon do you field dress (or more importantly, how late is too late), and what steps do you take after that to get the deer from the woods to the freezer? Is it as simple as field dressing, skinning, and butchering as soon as you can or is there more depth to it? I am new to hunting, and plan on processing my own deer. Temps during hunting season in my area range from the 70's to the low 20's. Thanks for any info you can provide.
