RE: What is the minimum temp for hanging a deer???
 

Well if i were to let a deer hang, for a day or two i would want to get it as cool as possible, so that means skin it!! right?? That fur is hotter than what most people must think, think about it, they have that fur this time of year for a reason and that is to keep the body warm, so skin your deer and wrap it in a game cloth, that should do it.

I shot a wildhog a couple of nights ago. When I was finally done gutting and loading him up it was 11 p.m. (it was about 60 deg.) I left him in the back of the truck until 8 that next morning, then I drove 30 minutes to enter him into a big buck contest. I gave him to a friend when I came home, he butchered it, and said that it tasted like any other hog hes ever ate.

Ever deer I shoot normally gets hung up in one of the barns or skinning sheds until the next morning. I'll normally get up the next morning, drive him to the deer contest and drop him off at my taxidermist who also proccess the deer. The temperatures down here during rifle season is normally 40-60 deg. at night and I have never had a deer spoil or any meat that tasted bad. I think deer meat can last longer then most people
believe.
