Thread: Getting back to living off the land.....

Last summer was really strange here. Really hot days but the nights were autumnal chilly and usually down to about 8C! First time I've seen it like that. But it did make chilling afternoon/evening shot game simple. Once the night had dragged the temp down; the shade and wind kept it low. I suppose because the thermal mass of cooled carcase took longer to warm up. One goat I shot was hanging for 2 days and nights and was still fine. Leaving the skin on seems to help too, maybe it also helps keep the cool "in the carcase" through its insulation preventing it warming up so fast?
