A nice pick up from my post, Alak. Well done. Don't change a thing.
As for how to prepare the animals, .... my gut instinct (okay, okay, I know that is bad) is that they should be eviscerated, as the organs spoil the fastest, and spread with salt. Perhaps what we need to think about is having some of the non-hunting settlers take the meat back to the settlement each night, for skinning, etc.
Other than that, I think this is a quest for our intrepid leader. Oh XPhial....
