Which way to hang deer?????

I personally hang them by the neck, around the base of the horns if it’s a buck. Once again for no other reason than that was the way I was taught. I believe if you avoid cutting across the neck hair your meat will be cleaner (hair). I would assume the lockers hang them legs up because they cut the jugular(sp) to drain the blood better.

I have always hung them up legs first. I was shown that way so that is how I have done it. I process my own and find it easier to cut the meat off the bone while it is hanging. Then I can discard the carcass in one piece. Plus, I skin all my trapped furbearers as well as the predators. Case skinning is way easier when hanging by a leg
