We hang and skin our deer after we shoot them (During gun season) then the mondy night after the first weekend we butcher em up. we do burn the hair off the quarters before cutting them. But we also wash all the meat before we package it.

I skin and bucther the same day. The meat is tasty to me. My Buddy swears you have better meat if you let the meat hang a few days. He says the meat will be more tender because the meat is starting the decay prossess which makes it more tender.

I skin immediately, then bone the meat into stainless steel stew kettles that fit in my frig. This way a person doesn't have to worry about the weather and I can slowly clean it up a little at a time for vacuum packing and freezing.
