Default RE: I suck at gutting deer

ORIGINAL: Beezer

And that is why I just took mine straight to the processor!!

Given the need I could field dress one easily enough. But, living 15 minutes from the processor and hunting within a mile of the house means I can get the deer to the truck and to the processor within 30 minutes. They pull it from the truck, hang and weigh it, take pics, gut it, skin it and even cape it if you want to have a mount. Afterward, they'll even wash out your truck bed.

I know not everyone lives in an area that they can harvest a deer and have it in the cooler within an hour. If I didn't, I'd be willing to do everything myself. I'd just rather not if I don't have to. I've only killed one deer mind you, but I only need enough from two or three to last us for what we want to eat. For any other deer I can kill that I may not want, I can just leave them under another guy's name and call him. He'll call the processor and give him his butchering orders.


I process my own deer but used to work for a processor, if someone would have brought one in not field dressed we would have laughed at em, how can you not field dress your own animal?
