1/7/2024 0 Comments Processing deer![]() Removing the organs allows body heat to escape, and skinning lets body heat dissipate even faster, so don’t put off processing any longer than absolutely necessary. This helps ensure that you get the best quality meat. While in the field, remember that it’s essential to cool the carcass quickly to reduce bacterial spoilage. If you’re interested in tanning the hide yourself, see “ How to Tan A Deer Hide” in our November/December 2017 issue. If you plan to mount the head and antlers, get skinning instructions from a taxidermist. Initial Considerationsīefore field-processing a deer, read up on your local wildlife laws, and take care to obey them. And it’s often easier to pack out a deer in two or three loads rather than to haul the entire carcass home. Plus, disease-carrying parasites, such as ticks, remain in the field, or are bagged and frozen with the hide prior to tanning.

Field-dressing involves a hunter removing only the internal organs in the field and then bringing the carcass home to process, or taking it to a butcher.
