Hog hunt'n with a .45?

IMHO, quick meat retrieval and processing is best. I have never had any meat go bad even here on the central coast during the July A bow zone hunts...

I agree. Best to field dress and or quarter any animal on sight or ASAP.

I prefer aging the meat. We hang hogs for five days at 35 F and deer for seven days. It allows the moisture content to drop and provides a more tender finished product. Homo Sapiens only eats fresh poultry and fish: red meat is aged.

Removing game from the field in the heat of August and aging in a cooler are two very seperate issues. Quick retrieval is paramount if one ever wants to have something for the BBQ...
