Default RE: hanging deer

ORIGINAL: andy da animal

the woods where i hunt is on my uncles tree farm. we have a couple trails running thru there that we can drive the gator through. after one of us gets a deer, we radio in to the cabin and tell either my aunts, or cousins to get the gator and meet us where we tell them to. we load the deer in the gator and drive it up to the hanging station. not sure why we never gutted in the field...just the way they did things before i started hunting. so sky thats a reason ppl, dont always gut it in the field.
as for hanging it by the head, i would rather they hang it by the rack than around the neck. i have seen that a couple times...just hate it. we always hang ours by the legs. we would never have any reason to hang one by the head, but im sure some ppl, where raised by going around the head, so thats what they do. to each his own....no matter our opinions.
i supose in other parts of the country its done differnet then what im used to. i wouldnt even want to try to drag a maine buck out w/ out gutting it first. it would way around the 270 280 mark. it would take forever and a day just to hit a logging road that you may or may not be able to get a truck or 4wheeler up. i guess its different strokes for different folks huh!
