To protect meat once a large game has been field-dressed, which of the following steps should you especially avoid as little as possible to ensure proper game care?
-
Washing the body and body cavity
-
Covering the body or body parts with cheesecloth
-
Hanging the deer at 40 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 3 or 4 days
-
Rubbing down the meat with black pepper
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Washing the body and body cavity should be avoided as much as possible to ensure proper game care because it can introduce moisture to the meat, which can promote bacterial growth and spoilage. It is important to keep the meat as dry as possible to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.
