Default RE: I suck at gutting deer

Why do you gut them??? I carry my cooler with me in the truck...Throw the deer on the front rack of my 4-wheeler, hang the bottom of my climber to a tree and pull the deer up with a rachet pully...I go get my cooler and strap to the front rack of my 4-wheeler and pick up my saw from the truck...

I fillet out the back straps, cut off front legs and remove shoulders...I usually bone out the hams...But if you want whole hams take your knife, cut down to the ball and socket joint of the hip, cut the tendons and pop out the ball, cut off hams and cut off the leg...To remove the inner tenderloins, make a small incision in the short ribs...So far, no need to gut...If you want the ribs, you can now make your cut and remove ribs with the saw...

There is definately no need to mess with the butt or the pee sac, learn to remove the hams by popping out the ball and socket joint, or learn to bone out the hams...

This way, the rest of the deer is left in the woods, which is most natural, within a week, it will be gone....
