I absolutely rinse it out. You know what invites bacteria more than water? Blood and tissue fluids. When you use your knife to make the inital cut into the hide and around the 'nads, you then introduce tons of bateria into the body cavity as you continue dressing with that knife. You use your hand to hold the leg aside that he's been peeing down the last few weeks, then hang onto his 'unit' to make your intial cuts, and then use those hands inside the cavity. Yuk![:'(] It needs thoroughly rinsed and hung to drip dry. And who lets a deer sit around for any length of time that isn't in walk-in cooler type temps?
