I will be in thick, Wyoming grizz country, solo hunting elk this year. The one task that has me somewhat anxious is the breaking down of the elk IF I get one down. I am concerned I will be too focused on it to look around and check my surroundings enough.
Is breaking an animal down with the hide/hair still on and hanging it in a distant tree to pack out later a viable time saver than doing all the skinning at the kill site? If the weather permits, will the meat hold up to leaving hide and hair on for a few hours/days?
Just thinking I could get things done and away from the kill site quickly, hung in a tree and can do the skinning at the safer base camp after getting all the meat back there.
Will late September, early October Wyoming weather support this idea?
Thanks!
