By all means hang yours as long as you wish . Thank you just the same I’ll keep following my usual procedure . If I only killed one or two each year I might be more receptive , most years I take atleast ten with some years double that or close to it . You leave that stuff hanging for two weeks it could be six to twelve hanging at once . The fact that I don’t have an indoor place to hang them plays into that as well .

Taking deer during our archery season is not conducive to even hanging a deer overnight. Much too warm and the deer will spoil just overnight. If one has a cooler to hang them, then that’s a different story. That said, we have one in the planning stage. 😁

I know a guy in southern MD that bought a straight truck that had a working refrigerator body on back but the truck motor was popped . He drug it home and parked it beside his shop where he could run a electrical cord to the the frig unit thing worked great . We were gonna buy one of those six piece deals four walls a roof and a floor with a small refrigeration unit . Mostly for June thru august but I know darn well we’d have crammed them in there and been in a situation where we had it filled and needed to get Uhm done before killing anymore . Actually it’s not hard to build one from scratch . Make a not to large box building of maybe 8x8 inside insulate it well I’d do it with white styrofoam then cut a window to fit a medium size air conditioner and you’re good to go . That would work well where your dog kennel thing is beside your house Mike .

Craig, that’s the plan. Frame up, insulate, add an air-conditioner all in a corner of the lower pavilion. Already have electric in there so no biggie.
