Birch trees, rifles with no scopes, deer hung by its neck, all scream U.P. Michigan hunting camp to me. There are letters carved in the tree above the guys hand, maybe claiming their spot? The guy in the middle, not my father but that's exactly what my dad would have looked like, how he would have dressed back in the 60's at deer camp. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen scenes like this from all over the USA . I still hear people debating if a deer should be hung by the neck or rear legs. And then there’s the aging venison debate 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestlers used to be required to wear a tie to school on days they had an intermural match, so several would bring ties to Monday's practice to get them tied to wear the next day. I'd be willing to wager that even 20 years later there are still ties that I've tied hanging in some of these guys' closets. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy I know claims you have to wait until there is a grey fuzz growing on the inside of the rib cage . I’m an asap guy. I usually hang by the neck until it’s time to skin them, then the gambrel hook comes out. Most buck poles my area hang them upside down but I suspect that’s more about viewing the antlers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I skin deer when I get them on the chainfall and hook, while they are still warm. I find it quicker and easier and they cool faster. Moose, I leave the hide on until we get them home. 17 minutes ago, Buckshot Bob said: One guy I know claims you have to wait until there is a grey fuzz growing on the inside of the rib cage .

That tallow turns to glue when it’s cold, my chainfall is the front end loader on the tractor or the excavator, I usually try to bury the gut pile to deny the coyotes an easy meal. Honestly the last few years i just gut them and take them to the processor. There’s a local guy by our hunting camp that does a fantastic job for a reasonable price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I gut at the kill site and take the fruits of the hunt back to my buddy's house. (Year round home on a lake) I leave the gut pile for the crows, ravens. politicians and other scavengers. We have our own equipment, so we cut, weigh, wrap and freeze our own. As with our moose. we have found we get a lot more meat from an animal than when we used commercial cutters around here. When we did moose, often two or three, even our wives pitched in to help weigh and wrap. Good times! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
