Depending on the weather, skinning the animal ASAP is very important. When hunting antelope in northern NV in August (T shirts and shorts and WARM), it is imperative to gut and skin quickly, then get to a cooler. Do NOT use ice, rather coll mountain stream water is better - similar to treating a burn.
If it is the late deer season with cold temps, let it hang in the shade and get it to the cooler in a timely manner
