If you skin it they cool faster and if not I hose the deer off inside and out to start the cool down. Just don't let the water from the skin side go on to the meet. Much above 60 it goes in the cooler as soon as possible.
Ice in the body cavity helps but it is the hams that are most likely to not cool off. Posted By: sbhooper Re: Maximum temp for hanging deer. According to studies, the ideal temp for "aging" meat is 38 degrees for several days. The problem with letting meat hang in areas that are not climate controlled, is that the fluctuation of temps can change the equation.
If you take the hide off and let it hang, it will dry up to jerky. I prefer to just put it on ice in a cooler if the weather is warm and I don't have room in my beer fridge. Mostly, I just cut it up and throw it straight into the freezer. I have hung meat in the field for several days at moderate temps, as long as it can be hung in a shady place and it is in game bags of some type.
As I was leaving the lease Tuesday a guy was bring in a deer he shot the night before. It was still limber, but no way I would clean and eat the meat.

Get the skin off the red crust sucks to deal with, but that skin holds heat more than about anything else , and get it bagged and in the shade.
It'll cool nicely with the cooler temperatures at night and you'd be surprised how cool the meat feels during a warm day if you do this. If you're nervous about it, throw some ice bags in the body cavity.

That will cool off those deer killed in the evening very nicely and allow me to get a good hunt in the morning and then skin and bone out after the morning hunt in the daylight. I like putting cold meat in the cooler. Posted By: Angus Re: Maximum temp for hanging deer. Skin 2 win baby , Skin 2 win! Jerk the hide immediately Just like at the butcher Why do they do that?
Everybody wants to skin a deer immediately and get it chilled even faster. Hold on. For maximum tenderness, that's not the best. A thing called cold shortening can cause your deer to be tougher if you cool it too fast. Douglas Snyder. How long should a deer hang if its in the 40 to 50 degree rang out side , PM.
It's been hanging for 2 days now. Tags: None. I'd freeze it or process it. Comment Post Cancel. Only 1 day would be o. Solitario Lupo. Even in 40s it will still rot if hung in direct sun.
In those temperatures I probably wouldn't even hang it, just quarter and put in the fridge or a cooler. If it was cooler it depends how old the deer is. Generally you want to hang older deer longer. Usually we don't even hang deer if we can cut it before rigor mortis.
If rigor mortis has already set in and it's not a really old deer, hang it till it loosens up again and then you can cut it just fine. My advise is either cut it up right away or get it in your fridge. Before I had a walk in cooler I always cleared the fridge as much as possible and stuff it in there works great, I always used a sheet and put one layer of deer down fold it over so it separates the game and put the next layer down.
This always the blood to not come out and pool up and soaking the game causes a great layer on the outside and could eventually cause it to rot. If you can't convince the wife of taking up the fridge then goodluck!!
If you hunt deep in the woods, carry a small tarp to wrap your deer in when dragging it out. The tarp will not only keep the cavity clean, the deer will drag easier. A lot of hunters hang their deer by the neck or antlers.
This is a bad idea. Not only will you damage the cape, you could spoil the meat. The point of hanging the deer is to cool it off. Heat rises and when deer are hung by the neck, heat is trapped inside the body cavity.
The hocks on the hind legs provide an opportune place for gambrel hooks. Hanging the deer from the hind legs allows heat to escape and makes it much easier to skin and butcher the animal. Skinning the deer immediately speeds up the cooling and aging process. One of the most important factors in the aging process is temperature. In the offseason, the Game Locker can be used just like any other walk-in cooler to store soda, beer, meat, produce or anything else that requires cold storage.
The Game Locker is made of modular insulated panels, so it could be disassembled to save space when not in use. If you use the Game Locker with the best practices for deer hanging and processing, you can produce venison that is both tender and has amazing flavor.
