[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2976361, member: 91783"] By mid next month you will want to look at their hips, especially if you have much snow and ice, for fur damage called breaking. They will set on the snow and ice then the longer guard hairs freeze to the ice and snow when they get up it pulls some out or breaks it off causing a spot with short fur. If you have a lot of snow with sunny days, the sun will reflect off of it and cause the tips of the fur on their bellies and sides to curl called singing. A lot depends on the weather conditions as to how long you can wait to skin generally speaking, they skin easier when they are still warm, if it's cold out and they aren't left in the sun on a black surface they will be okay for all day, if it's really cold they will freeze and make skinning harder. If it's sunny and warm say 40's or 50's out of the sun they will be okay till you get home, if they are laying in the sun on a black surface, they will start to swell but should be okay for several hours, before their bellies turn green and smell bad. If you are going to drag them behind, you from your calling stand to your vehicle get a boot lace 24" long or maybe 36" long make a slip knot in one end tie it around a stick or similar object, for a handle, make a slip knot in the other end to slip over their top canines and use that to drag them behind you always drag any animals with the lay of the hair or fur so it doesn't break it or add resistance to them sliding behind you on the grass or leaves.
