[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 1262874, member: 10429"] Not that I've shot an elk but everyone I have ran into and work with that has killed and elk or 5 say the biggest thing is to get the hide off the meat asap. I've been told the hide on and elk is greatly thicker than a deer and holds the heat even when hanging with the chest cavity open, cut in half, etc, etc. Even with the chest open and hanging the hide still need to come off is what I here all the time. Several guys has told me of there mistake and not removing the hide to find the meat spoiled by the next morning even when there was snow on the ground. One hunter even stated he had ruined 1 and 1/2 because he thought it was cold enough and now will never take a chance without removing the hide regardless of how long he has to stay on the mountain. Anyone ever have experience like this not that anyone ever wants to put this out there but its something to be learned from those that haven't ever had the experience yet. [/QUOTE]
