I've got a scene in a story I'm writing where the characters are dressing a deer. I have the basic idea--you have to be careful not to perforate it's digestive tract, and you generally start by cutting from the sternum to the genitals, but other than that I'm not really sure. The main thing is, is it really very bloody if it's not been drained? I've heard corpses don't bleed as much but there's got to be a reason for draining it. The guy might get accused of murder because someone saw a lot of blood on him near the murder scene, so I want to know if this is realistic. It's a medieval sort of fantasy world, so there's no dna testing to exonerate him

Any advice would be appreciated!
