Thread: Getting back to living off the land.....

Went for a walk yesterday and took a young billy. I didn't want to shoot any nannies as most still have small kids with them. I always put three 1.5 litre frozen water bottles in the body cavity and prop it open with a stick. The frozen water bottles have done a great cooling job (along with a cool night), and they're still half filled with ice nearly 24 hours later.

When it's warm I try to go hunting in the afternoon as there's less time in the heat for the carcass. I can get it chilled quickly to make sure the meat quality stays optimal. I usually get back around 6-7pm so the temperture is cooling. I usually wrap them up with a duvet cover and hod it tight with clothes pegs. The duvet cover has less entrances for the flies, and I can usually wrap it around a couple of times to make it even harder for the flies!
