Guts stay where the deer fall. Last year I did not fill my tag was to picky and regretted it late in season. Two years ago I processed my own deer for the first time. I just put the hide and bones stuff out at the back of my property. The night critters take care of the stuff in a few days. That way I feel like I am giving a little back. If it was not my property or felt it had a chance of stinking or bothering someone I would not do it that way.
