Pappy:
Thanks guys, now to get the meat cut and wrapped today and the hide in the rack, I got the hide fleshed yesterday but the cold ran me inside, supposed to be warmer today so hope to get that done. Planning on hunting again Thanks Giving morning, it is kind of a tradition for us, then take a few days to get my hides scrapped, I will get back after the does later in the season once the rut settles down a bit and they get back to doing what they do no molested by bucks. ;)

Good stuff, pappy. I had to put my hides in the freezer until spring. It's way to cold to work outside, and they make too much of a mess in the garage! Ain't it great having a freezer full of meat?
Pappy:
Ya WB I use to do that but it is so easy to procrastinate when they are in the freezer, I had about 10 a few years back and decided to get them all out and work them at least to rawhide, it took a month , some were freezer burned and that even takes longer to get them scrapped although don't seem to hurt the hide much. When I finished them up I swore I wasn't going to freeze anymore, so I do them when I skin them or not at all. This cold dry weather works well for getting them to rawhide and after that I just roll them up and can tan anytime, puls fleshing and scrapping will keep you pretty darn warm. ;) :) :)
