I always gut them where they lay. That way I don't have to drag the extra weight and I don't have to mess with disposing the guts later.
Yep. Me too. Don't need water for field dressing. I wear good latex gloves, take off my jacket, roll up my sleeves, and that's that.The less time the innards are in there is less time my meat might get tainted.
The only reason I use water for field dressing is to clean the inside chest cavityand wash excess clots out.
