I have been taking my deer to the same guy for about 5 years now. When I shoot one, I drag it to the edge of the woods, walk to the house and get the truck, (its only a few minute walk) haul the deer to my back door step, maybe snap a pic or two, gut it and put the guts in a five gallon bucket,rinse out the carcass really well with the garden hose, throw the guts out back by the fence to feed the buzzards, haul the deer to the processor and hang in the cooler, in a few days go pick it up all nicely packaged and ready to freeze, kindly pay him $45, and I'm done.

I cannot believe the people who insist on slicing open the crotch area of a deer. There is no reason to expose this area and surrounding meat when field dressing. You need to cut out the anal area, following the bone with a knife and cut a hole. Then when you gut it, there is no pulling on the innards that attach back there, it just comes right out.
