Well hard part doneI use to pride myself on zero meat or hide knife nicks...so those days are done. I have to say I'm surprised with hide off , he's not much bigger than the early doe and hams are smaller. Neck way bigger. Zero fat but the hide was very thick. Ticks the size of raisins were constantly dropping on to card board under him and a slew of live lice. The hide bore the marks of all the ticks. . Well the meat saw is together and I need to remove loins and quarter him up. His very full bladder, both hocks(I remove before hanging), and his tail are in a baggy. Tail for decoy and the rest for gun hunt in a few days .
Lots of us hunt cold temps. some in remote areas. I ran across this and it was VERY informative. . Ignore the cartoon LISTEN. it's not just about prepping. It's about body physics in cold weather.. if you actually winter camp it's good. If you've ever sat on stand and got shakey WATCH
