No hang methods.

A couple of weeks ago I managed to get a lovely Roe buck that had been hanging in a chiller for a couple of days. Brought it back. Skinned it off my pull up bar out back, before breaking it down and popping it in the fridge.

I’m hoping to be getting out soon and get one myself but I don’t have anywhere to hang it.

Would it be ok to simply take it home, skin it, break it down and chill it?

I’ve seen American hunters just skin and butcher whitetail in the field and stick them in plastic game bags.
You can buy dry age-ing bags that you slip the meat into put on a wire rack and let it sit in your fridge for a few weeks.

That will put some of the "age" flavour back into the meat that's somewhat lost in the hanging process, meat will also become firm with a crust you'll have to cut off.

Gugafoods uses them on youtube there cool without a doubt, Mind you they arent vaccum bags by any means is a special membrane that allows water evaporation.
 
Yesterday even out with a friend on his ground. Shot a good cull buck. We were a good mile up hill to the vehicle. Remote area of gorse and scrub.

So I showed him the gutless method.

In pretty much the same time as doing the gralloch I had the haunches, shoulders and backstraps all in the pack. And the skin, guts and spine / ribcage are under a load of bushes feeding lots of little critters and returning all the nutrients back to the soil.

The normal alternative is all those bits go in the bin to landfill. And no chiropractic bill required either.
