RE: field dressing
In ark it is usually to warm to let them hang. but i will quarter them and ice them for two or three days . i change the ice once or twice a day. sometimes in late season its cool enough to let them hang over night . i let one hang about 36 hours two years ago boy it really lets the meat bleed out. i am in the process of getting a big cooler to hang them in its refrigerated. and it going to be free , even better.
