Default RE: butchering deer during warm weather

I place the skinned quarters and backstraps in plastic bags, surrounded by ice in a cooler. Be sure to keep unfrozen to allow rigor mortis to complete (a little less than a day) before freezing, otherwise the meat fibers stay in a locked position, resulting in very tough meat, even after thawing.
