This is an awesome site, although I don' t write much. I do have a question, though....
I' ve seen many posts talking about finding your deer 8+ hours after the kill. I' ve been watching the Deer Farm .... I mean a whitetail hunting channel and I NEVER see those guys gutting their deer. I know it' s a TV production, but some of those deer get loaded up and hauled away without being gutted. Is it different up here, or do you guys also gut ' em right away. If we' ve tracked a deer for a while and it gets bloated, I know the meat tastes different. How is it in the south where you hunt in above freezing temps? Can you hang them for a couple days without problem? Do you drag them from the kill site? I' ve shot bucks during rifle season sniffing gut piles.
Just curious
