Here in hot, humid Louisiana, it's easy for deer meat to spoil on the trip between the hunting are and the freezer. When I kill a deer I want to get it field dressed as quickly as possible so the meat will start cooling. I'll haul it to the camp and field dress it while I enjoy a cup of coffee, then load it into the pickup truck for the ride into town. I'll normally have it at the processor within an hour or so of the shot.
