I haver never hunted any type of large game and I am planning to next season. I have a friend that hunts, when he can find time, and I plan on going with him. So I will have someone that knows the ropes but I was woundering if there was any good books or dvd's or anything with info on what to do after the triger is pulled. I relize you gut it and clean it. but it's info like how long to hang it? how cold should it be while hanging? if I don't have a place to hang it where do I take it? what time frame do you have until the meat will spoil ( from bush to Cold storage )Mainly info on the process from BANG to FREZZER

Check your local outdoor store for this "Deer processing 101" it covers all you'll need for me squeezing the trigger to closing the freezer lid!!
And if you haven't already have a boo at huntingbc.ca lots for you to learn there.

4-5 degrees is the max game should be hung for any amount of time. Higher than that and a quick cut and wrap is preferable. On a hot day, the meat could spoil in one day. When it is below freezing, you could skin and cut 3 months later after defrosting (would never do it personally but know people who do so religiously).
If you don't have a place to hang it, cut and wrap that day or the next. You can age the individual cuts in the fridge as you use them. Or try to rent cold storage off of a game cutter. Hide will likely have to off though.

x2 Sir Mailorder is where I got mine. The gutting stuff is tough to sit through if you already know how but the butchering info is great. I just finished my 5th deer butchering it myself after learning how to from this dvd.
