After the kill?

[Thunderhead2]

LAST EDITED ON Aug-01-11 AT 08:09AM (MST)[p]So you have an elk down, no the work begins. After you quarter it up do you hang them away from the carcass?

Feel free to expand on the topic.

Grizz bear country - yes, I quarter, bag, and hang or cover them. I pepper the bag as well. Keep 'em 20-30 yards away from carcass.

No grizz country I:
Warm (archery) - bag and hang in shade or elevate on branches and cover with leafy branches/pine branches AND mix citric acid with water spread over bag to keep flies off.

Cold - Bag 'em and just keep 'em out of sun.

Hopefully be doing that a couple times this fall again!
