With the winter temps dominating the day, now- how long do you let your deer hang ?

Skin first ?

At least until he's dead[8D]

If it doesn't get above 50 and below 25, I'll let it hang in the shade(N side of my home) for 2-3days skin on.

I usually process right away i find it easier to get the skin off . The last one i let sit over night and recovered in the morning because i wasn't 100% sure with the shot placement, turns out it was perfect for a quartering away shot, but i found it harder to remove the skin that next day. It was plenty cold enough to let it hang but cut it up anyway. It would be frozen solid right now if i hadn't. I find it to hard to control the temp range and I don't think it does anything special t the meat to let it hang. Hang it if you want i personally don't

I shot a buck Monday, 11-17. We just cut it up today 11-21. Temps have been high of 35 to a low of 18. It was hung in a garage, unheated, skin on. I prefer to leave the skin on, less crap to get on the meat (dust, bugs, whatever...), it also doesnt let the meat dry out to much. Hey, if it doesnt spoil, then it dont matter. It all depends on temps, but I prefer to let them hang for at least a few days before cutting.

ASAP. I will let it hang overnight if its lower than 42 degrees with no worries. I prefer to skin it right away to cool faster and because its easier.
