Where I live you have to check in the deer before you can skin it and butcher it. However I have hunted in other states where it is legal to do as you do. The only difference and suggestion I would make for you to try would be to skin it before you gut it. By doing it this way you can keep all that hair out of the inside of the deer and it dosen't seem to cling to the meat as much. Just a suggestion. Mike
Thanks Mike, I am real careful and don't have a problem keeping the hair away. If I was to gut it after I hung it and skinned it then I would have a pile of guts to work around and smell.[:'(]
