RE: do you gut your deer??
I never gut the deer, unless it is a looong drag. I hang it up by the legs and skin it out. You don' t loose anymore meat than field dressing them. You can get the tenderloins. All you have to do is slowly cut the stomach lining (near the legs), and the stomach starts to fall out of the way. You can push the stomach out of the way enough to cut out the tenderloins. It may take a few times to figure it out. Field dressing a deer is too messy.
