How to ?'s

[jcoop7]

So I'll be starting my first early season archery hunt this weekend and with a little bit of a luck I should be able to get a buck. I've never hunted this early and so don't know much about taking care of the animal once it hits the ground. What are the best ways to take care of meat/antlers/cape when its going to be 80-90 degree weather where i'll be hunting. Any advice will help, thanks!!

Skin it, get it out of the sun, and get it to a cooler/freezer/taxidermist immediately. If you have to pack it out, quarter it and hang it in the shade of a tree while you prepare to pack it out. Coolers with ice can help, but keep the cape dry!
