One thing you have to be really carefull about if you are going to use the tenderloins, which most hunters do.
When you field dress the deer make sure you are extremly careful that you dont get into the so called (guts) if you do it will contaminate the tenderloins and they will be ruined..... I have did this a couple of times and i really take my time now, sometimes it happens with a bad shot also!!!!
