RE: cleaning
As stated earlier, bacteria from the gut will start leaving the intestines and invade other tissues very quickly after an animal is dead. My philosophy is to get them gutted ASAP. Therefore, I gut them where they lay. It is rare that a deer is not gutted within 10 minutes of hitting the ground. Then, there is no big hurry to skin/quarter them. That also means I don't have to haul the gutpile off from camp, cause I leave it where I gut them. Don't need a special set up for hanging one either. Throw a rope over a stout treelimb, and hang the deer. I can usually hang one by myself, but that is with our somewhat smaller deer. Where we hunt, they usually dress out between 90-110 lbs. You can either hang by the head, which lots of people do, or by the rear legs. If by the rear legs, just find a stout limb that you can put between the hock joints of the rear legs to spread the legs for easier skinning/quartering.
