In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Tom, you may want to visit your Taxidermist, & have a conversation with them before your trip...what they prefer for field care/prep. Not sure what others do, but if you skin the animal yourself, avoid putting hide  in a plastic bag of any kind. Instead, use a burlap bag,old pillow case or laundry bag. Plastic bags tend to allow bacteria to thrive unless in a deep freeze. Also, the ears & face tend to slip ( bears,fox, coyotes, cats) if not handled ASAP, I have had good luck squirting some isopropel rubbing alcohol on any areas I suspect bacteria to be a problem. Keep as cold as you possibly can. If you plan on doing any caping or field skinning in the future you may want to get a scalpel with replaceable blades ( I like #22 blades).  here is a link from one of the suppliers I use you may find helpful
