make sure for better meat gut the deer where its killed the insides start to break down just minuts after the kill i was told... don't know how true this is maybe someone else can help with this.... but nice bow kill... its always a trophy if its with a bow
i wouldnt worry too much about it. I have heard of guys on here that wait 4hours before going after a downed deer. So entrails breaking down minutes after death isnt a big problem. I always gut deer where they fall(or as soon as possible) but i dont see a problem with someone taking it home first, as long as its within a reasonable timeframe
