Thread: Field dressing - best methods/process (not including hanging)

Plastic bags are a big no if the meat isn't well cooled or during the summer time. Use pillow cases or huntech meat bags. If you don't want blood in your pack turn the fresh animal down hill and stick it like a pig and pump its ribs with your boot a few times. Its gets rid of a lot of blood, and that artery in the hip joint will gush a lot less if you hit it with your knife. The packs that seperate from the frame for meat carrying are good for keeping the pack bag clean too.
