Which method is NOT recommended for cooling harvested game meat?

Hanging the game in a cool, shaded area
Packing the cavity with ice
Leaving the skin on to protect it
Storing it in a cooler with a drain

The correct answer is: Leaving the skin on to protect it

Leaving the skin on the harvested game meat is not recommended for cooling because it could prevent the meat from properly cooling and increase the risk of bacteria growth. Option A is the preferred method because hanging the game meat allows for proper air circulation to cool the meat. Option B is also an effective method as packing the cavity with ice will help to chill the meat quickly. Option D is also a good option as storing the meat in a cooler with a drain will allow for any excess moisture to be drained away, preventing the meat from spoiling.
