RE: field dressing
I personally start by cutting around his giggle stick and 2 berries. I don't cut them off, just kind of stick them through to the guts. Then continue my cut up to the breastbone. If In not muonting the deer, I cut through the breastbone up to the windpipe, cut the wind pipe and start to pull everything out. When I get doen to the diaphram, I cut around it and just push everything out. Then, as it is a tradition where I hunt, you hand the balls from a tree.Something everyone I know does. Its good luck, so I hear.
