I agree with you that there's no need to call anyone's method ridiculous. As they say, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
Butto ensure the best quality and taste of your game, you need to field dress the animal immediately after the harvest even if you don't want to remove the inner loins. Autolysis begins as soon as the animal dies and leaving the bowels and other enzymatic organs in the animal will have a negative imact on all of the edible meat.
Also, I'm not sure you are getting all you can from your animal as the inner loins are more than a sandwich-bag-full even on a fawn. Regardless of their size, they are the best cut of meat on the deer. There's no way I'd leave them behind!
I agree with you there! Whatever way works best for you is the way you should use. I personally never heard of anyone not gutting a deer before but if it works for you then use it. I was always taught to gut a deer ASAP to cool down the meat. Once I find a deer, usually within an hour I'll have the thing gutted and spread open.
I also can't image leaving the tenderloins behind. Ive shot a few fawns before and they may be a little small, but you won't find any better cut of meat on any deer than the tenderloins of a young deer! My mouth water just thinking about them!!
