Forgive my ignorance but as a new hunter, I don't have a ton of butchering experience and want to make sure I don't mess up. Anyways, I have never had to quarter up a female animal before. I got a doe antelope last year and had it to the butcher the next morning and my cow elk last year was in late November and there was no need to get it on ice.
Anyways, temps are looking hot for the antelope opener here and it is likely if I get an antelope, I will need to get it into a cooler. Any good videos or tips out there for keeping evidence of sex on quarters for female animals? Part of me is considering bringing two large coolers, sawing the antelope in half through the spine right behind the ribs and throwing a half in each cooler.
Thanks for the advice! As a less experienced hunter, I appreciate this forum a lot!
