Field Dressed Hog

[dosrobles]

Short of an apocalypse, I can't think of a single scenario to field dress a hog.

2 hours max. After that the flies will have laid eggs and is toast then

You ever rode in the back of a pick up and sat over where the exhaust runs underneath it, some get **** hot, way hotter then the 60-70 degrees your talking the outside temp to be.

The truck would not be running. Just parked under shade with a hog on it.

A better way of putting this would be, "How long would you say that a gutted hog will last sitting under shade in a temperature of 65 F with 10 MPH winds with no flies, ants, ect on the carcass."

I usually do the frozen milk jugs as mentioned above but sometime I take a 4-wheeler and don't have them.

Many deer and hogs shot with less than perfect shot placement every year. Everyone says give them several hours before tracking. Some of the animals don't make it far before dying. They are still cleaned and consumed when found. I wouldn't wait unless no other option, but they will still be good for hours. Smell test is all you can do. JMHO

All depends on the temperature like anything else.

Yep , above 50* and near the coastal area or where super humid
Eviscerating ASAP , then skinning and chilling within 2-3 hours
Walk-in cooler = eviscerating and skinning before traveling home

No experience in that exact situation. I’ve killed hung, then cleaned 4 to 6 hours after killing in less than 70 degree temps with no issue. Always let your nose be the judge. I would hang in the shade instead of putting in the bed of the truck if possible. Hanging would allow better air flow to cool more and quicker.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if you gutted immediately and packed it with ice I would say it would be good for a few hours. This is how I do animals during bow season that I want to bring back from my lease 2 hrs away to get more pictures at home and never had an issue
