Default RE: How do you hang your deer??????

Head down . I gut the deer on the ground , then hang him and remove the hide. I then reduce the deer into pieces which I put in my pack frame. I take these pieces home and into the fridge they go for at least 2 days , a week doesn't hurt them either. I then remove the meat and finish the butchering ,wrap and into the freezer. The pieces I take out are the two front shoulders, the loin is boned out, neck meat also boned out, the two hams are packed as well. just the tender loins and a bit of burger to trim off the back bone and rib cage.
The legs, from just above the knee, the rib cage, back bone, hide and guts stay at the kill site. I find this a lot easier than dragging out a deer and most of the mess stayes in the bush. A warm deer skins much better than a cold one.
