What is an important step in preparing a game animal for cooking?

  1. Ageing the meat for several days

  2. Washing with soap and water

  3. Skinning the animal before field dressing

  4. Field dressing the animal immediately

The correct answer is: Field dressing the animal immediately

Field dressing the animal immediately is an important step in preparing a game animal for cooking. This process involves removing the internal organs and entrails of the animal as soon as possible after it has been harvested. This helps to prevent the growth of bacteria and maintain the quality of the meat. Waiting to age the meat for several days or washing it with soap and water can actually introduce harmful bacteria and affect the flavor of the meat. Skinning the animal before field dressing is also not recommended as it can lead to contamination of the meat.
