Are you guys using plastic bags to submerge ? I have a three foot wide creek running through my area about one inch deep or so . Seems like you wouldn't bag in that situation but maybe I am wrong. I just cleaned the meat off, put in good game bags and laid in the water in shade. Maybe I should be using rocks or logs to elevate out of the water ? Bagging doesn't seem good for air circulation but I could understand if submerging was possible. My creek is so cold it hurts your feet to stand in it for any time at all. Thanks for the advice above.
