Default Clean Your Deer where it fell or someplace else?

How many of you after taking a Deer will clean it right where it fell, or mabey just drag it a few yards out of the way and do it there?
Our Hunting Group will take our Deer and go to a remote place on the Property and Clean our Deer out, I think the Deer just know by the smell of the Blood that somethings not right, also why have a reason for the Coyotes to come near your Hunting Spot. Sure we used to clean em where they fell and if a Yote happened by for a Snack we'd take Him Out. But now we like to try and keep it pretty clean near our spots.
There's Execptions to our Rules to, if say you take a Deer and are by Yourself and dont have the 4 Wheeler with you than we just Drag em as far away from our spot as possible and then clean them. Or if your unable to Drag that Beast to far then you can do it where you are, and one of us will pick up the remains and put them in a Trash bag and take them elsewhere, and Yes we Carry the Trash bags with us and put the Remains in them after we Clean.
We all do a Great Job at Cleaning Deer so the Mess is'nt as Messy as you think, just two easy piles to pick up, it's a Messy Job but we do it.
I know in some Places Hunters are not allowed to clean there Deer where they Hunt on Certain Properties.
Just Wondering what you all do??
