RE: Waiting
When I shoot a deer, I load it up in the back of the truck and drive it to the taxidermist studio about 45 minutes from were I do most of my hunting.
If I shoot a buck in the evening then I will gut him, then hang him up in one of the barns over night, then I'll take him to the taxi. I love my taxidermist, he does every thing at his shop. Its a real "one stop shop".
