the way i see it nobody should hunt unless they can gut it and make an effort to help get it back(help drag the deer she just shot after SHE gutted it)if my kid(if i ever have one) wants to hunt and kills a deer they are going to gut it(i will help them and tell them what to do but thats it never again will i help them gut it) and if they dont want to gut their game they will stay at home and never hunt with me again...but thats me...i feel if you can take the animals life you can gut it and than consume it...or if your not about eating wild game find someone that wants it....
