now you might get into trouble for dismembering......if i remember correctly, Law Enforcement frowns on this and then you'll have to prove the meat belongs to the same deer......i personally wouldn't do it

When field dressing..is it ok to cut out the sexual organs..I know the deer must be in tact..The guts I understand are a 1/3 of the weight..and i have one heck of a long haul.? I also know they would rather have the whole deer but if I get blessed and get a monster I'll need to field dress...I was just wondering when I make the chest cavity cut if I can go ahead and cut off the sex organs as well?

we want live weights, and proof of the sex, but if you absolutely have to gut it to be able to bring it out of the woods or it's been too long since the kill and those guts need to come out, then it's ok...they also do some sampling , they used to do liver and other organs so thats another reason why they want them brought in whole....but they haven't done that in awhile...if you can by all means bring it out whole.......then clean it at the check station......
