Thanks everybody! And thankyou Machias for posting those pics I suck with computer stuff.My question to you guys before I head to work this morning is how long should I hang the meat in my garage before cutting it up? Its in the upper 40s at night and mid 60s during the day. I would like to hang him for at least two days but was thinking about just cutting him tonight just to play it safe.

I couldn't tell you how long to hang them in those temperatures.   What kinda rifle were you shooting.

 D-Rock
 I'm shooting a Remington 7400 semi-auto. 30-06 165 grain Remington core lock bullet with a Leopold scope. I don't get to hunt with this setup alot because I'm usually hunting with my bow. But I love this gun. This is only the second animal Ive killed with it and both have been bears.All of my other animals I have killed have been with my bow. 8 deer 4 elk 1 bear.

That's some pretty warm temps in my mind as far as bear meat goes.  Put a fan on the meat and that'll help pull the temp down some.  If you have room in your fridge, what you could do is Bone the meat out and then keep it in a fridge until your ready to cut it up to final size.  Another option is to elevate the boned out meat above some ice (or dry ice) in a large cooler.  Keep the meat dry if you use the ice process.
