Can't hang my deer..what to do?

[Kenny_G2]

Mine has been hanging in the garage since Tuesday. Its -7 here right now, I just left the heat off and its around 0 to +1 in the garage now. its suppose to heat up this weekend and I will cut it then.

hang it whole with hide on [/B].

yuk yuk yuk, the worst advice ever given to a non suspecting fellow GunNutz hunter meat prep'r!!! Hide on = b-a-l-o-n-i-e with nose plugs! Shoot/kill/gut/cool/hang and hide off asap (stressed) and cooled some more quickly/hang and butcher a-sap/ over night is A-ok/ or a day or two at the most, butcher and vac pak/ into the freezer, not stacked, spread out in the freezer for quicker freezing.

But Brian knows better, try it his way, first!

Cut it and freeze it, it does not need to hang like beef. Pork is also killed, cut and frozen the same day, it does not need tenderizing. Deboning a deer takes less than an hour.

Pork is usually cooled first for a day or 3...

I'll be the #### in the crowd and say..... next season, plan ahead

Seems like the OP wasn't actually planning on getting anything! Lol

I do both depending on what kind of timeframe I have. If I have time to hang it i do, if I don't have time to hang I just cut it up. I usually just use deer for sausage and jerky so really for me all hanging does is gives me time to deal with it later.
