RE: To gut or not to gut?
How true Silent assasin, my F-I-L used to own a store in Michegan years ago and people would bring the deer to him for processing. A few years ago he was here when I brought one home and he showed me a few tips and tricks. He was 85 years old and did a 120 pound doe in less than a half hour. It had been at least 20 years since he did one so he musta been out of practice.
He once told me that during deer season he would butcher as many as 20 a day.
