[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 408032, member: 10391"] I was taught by my grandparents who literally lived on venison way back when that you never put the meat in water as if there is no refrigeration for a couple days or more the moisture speeds up the spoiling. I don’t know about that but to this day I still follow their guidance and have never lost any meat or had any that was foul. When I used to backpack hunt almost exclusively I would bone the buck out on the ground laying the meat on brush or whatever to let it cool. Then into my backpack that was lined with a large pillow case which by the way is considerably better then garbage bags. If more than a day’s hike from the trail head put the meat out at night but back into the bag before the fly’s wake up. It will be fine for a couple days this way. If a bad shot was made don’t put blood shot meat or foul meat into a back pack if more than a day from the trailhead as it will spoil or foul everything quite quickly. Washing meat in a creek is a bad idea in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
