Gutting Deer

[skeeter@ccia.com]

Gut ASAP...need to get it cooled down....meat starts to decompose as soon as the critter is dead...now on those that leave lay or not find till next morning, that for sure depends on the temp, time of death and how long it takes you to find the next day...I have tracked late evening hits the next morning and only found one to not fit to eat....that was because the buy gut shot it with his arrow....yuck...the good ones I have been lucky enough to find within an hr or daylight...field prep from the time you shoot anything to the table means the difference in a good meal or a memory for some not to eat wild game.
..I can't believe noone will come help you with your downed game even if it is midnight....that doesn't work in my parts...esp at 70...if it weren't so far a drive, I would be there in a blink to lend ya a hand...but I am proud of you for getting out there for the hunt and all that goes with it...keep it up.
Now, for the fun part....are you sure the buzzards were there for the deer?....lmao?.....kidding!...but if you were my hunting partner, that would be something you would have to hear from me....
AT LEAST GUT IT OUT TO LET IT COOL!...
