Things I've Learned: (1) It's not possible to please everyone, but quite easy to piss everyone off. (2) If you love animals as I do, then you're not a vegetarian. (3) There's no need to act stupid, even if you're very good at it. (4) If you eat right and exercise, don't smoke or drink, you're going to die anyway.
He's cleaned a few of them in his life. He's also got a sharp knife and a good saw.
I never bring them home with the guts in them. I leave all of that in the woods. I do have a friend that can field dress (not skinning) a deer so fast that it would shock most people. I mean this guy has them open and the intestines removed in minutes.

Another thing.. normally when I get to them to skin... they are frozen solid. The worst part of skinning a deer in the northern country is.. when they are frozen, my fingers go numb from the cold of the meat and the hide. Also the hide is a little stiff by then.

Some places do not want you to gut them in the field. My friend hunts Alabama and he said you take the whole deer to the processor and they skin and gut it.
I myself gut them in the field. Easier to drag gutless.

Right on the money, as usual. Having worked in a butchershop/deli as a kid I can tell you, the right tools make all the difference.
