 Transporting your animal can be the
hardest part of the hunt. When you hiked in 10 miles and have no horses, that big
buck seems even bigger now. You will need to pack him out in game sacks and put it
on a pack frame and hope that you have twenty people with you to help.If you want to mount the head, make the following incisions (see
left). The hide should be removed as soon as possible to cool down the meat.
If you are hunting when the weather is unseasonably warm then you may need to get the meat
off the mountain as soon as possible to ensure the meat is not spoiled.
Do not drag an animal if you are going to mount it.
That could easily ruin the hide and make a scroungy looking cape. When you get back
to camp try and hang the animal high and let it drain completely. Do not let the
insides remain wet or it could cause the meat to sour. |
You first need a sharp knife. Hang the
deer by one leg and start by making a cut through the skin on the hind quarters.
Cut down each leg by pulling and cutting
at the same time. Do not cut into the meat
