I've given up hanging meat in a tree / safe. Had too many incidents with flys getting in, rained on, dogs get into the meat bag etc...
Hang overnight (in this case 2), skin and break down into legs. If motivated into muscle groups and bagged up (I wasn't this time) or leave whole legs hanging in the meat fridge (I need a bigger one but they are small deer over here) for about 5days then into the freezer.
I'll probably leave this one in whole legs in the fridge for a week, freeze overnight and off to the butcher for sausages.
Backsteaks and eye fillets are already in the kitchen fridge, 1 marinating for dinner tonight
