if ya live on the land that you are hunting..its ok to take it home...but if you live an hour away that aint cuttin it..imo(no pun intended)

on the spot is good...we have a cleaning spot..being on 40 acres, we dont have to travel far to get to it. all deer are tracked after 20 minutes and drug up to there....1 bow season i let one lie for about 2 hours....but other than him the guts spill 30 minutes after the shot or sooner depending on if they drop or not.
