RE: when do u gut them?
some hunting area's where i hunt prefer you to bring the deer to them ungutted to be checked in and tagged. this way they can gut the deer and collect the kidney's and jaw bone for research. other area's i hunt don't care what you do. most of the time i don't gut mine. i hunt close to home and i find it easier to hang the deer up by it's hind legs and skin him ungutted. this makes for a quick and less messy job. i don'ttake the tender loins or ribs due to the lack of if any meat. this way i can dispose of the carcass with the guts still intact all in one.
