[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 273351, member: 13632"] I used to manage a wild game cutting operation and have seen game in every condition possible and in many stages of spoilage, all which is preventable by doing a few key things. It all starts with gutting, remove the whole windpipe and all the contents inside the pelvis, air need to move free up through the carcass the bladder must be removed. I always carry rope and light game bags to deal with game. Deer I just pull them up into a tree by there hocks or lay them over a sage brush, just get air under them. Elk get quartered with the hide on hung then skin one side and remove flanks, backstrap, and neck then roll over and repeat hang in bags. Elk start to spoil in three areas, the neck, between the shoulders and in the ball sockets on the pelvis. The worst things to are not remove the windpipe and bladder, let snow accumulate on carcass, haul game under a topper and let the sun get to it. Antelope get skinned and under water as fast as possible for best quality, deer and elk do not skin till they are ready to cut and cut them as soon as possible. Wild game flavor gets stronger as they dehidrate, hanging for a long time and skinning dehidrates game fast making them stronger tasting. I used to do seminars on game care and had a detailed post but my daughter has just figured out the mouse and she came up and started clicking and it went somewhere. [/QUOTE]
