    How long will a whitetail cape be good for hanging in a 34 degree walk in cooler?

    If on deer still , I’ve seen 2 weeks easy . If skinned and laying with just skull in it , kinda in a pile 3 -4 days it will start to sour , and go down hill from there.

    If it's in a garbage bag pooling in it's own blood and excrement, the time is really short...less than 72 hours.

    Just be careful of nose and ears drying out
