RE: Where do you gut your animal?
Most people in the South don't field dress their deer. Since our deer rarely reach 200lbs.
I don't gut mine at all. I hunt less than 15 minutes from the processor who does my meat. The teenage guys who work there get paid $10 a deer to clean it for you. $15 if you want to have it caped out to get it mounted.
Call me lazy. After draggin' a deer in 90 degree heat with 80% humidity back to the truck. The $10 is well worth it to me.
