DRESSING A DEER
We will assume that the hunter is alone and that he hascome up to the deer he has killed. We will further assume thatit is October and the weather is rather warm; there is a pos-sibility that some blowflies are around. The hunter has thetask of hog dressing the deer, hanging it, and protecting itfrom decomposition and blowflies long enough to get help inremoving the carcass to camp.
Under such conditions, the first thing to do is to locate asapling that is standing in a shade. This sapling should be ofsuch a size that the weight of the hunter's body can just bendit down.
There is no point in sticking the animal; it has died fromhemorrhage, and there is no blood left in it.
