You guys are doing it all wrong. Here's a new technique for y'all to try.

1. Once you find em, sneak up on em from the rear real quiet like.

2. Put your weapon down.

3. Then draw your Bowie Knife from your deer skin pants. (10" is a good starting point)

4. Start screaming like a Banshee.

5. Leap like a cougar onto the deer.(Keep screaming)

6. Plunge your knife in about 10" back from the ribs a couple times. (It's that nice soft spot a couple inches in front of the hams.)

This ensures that (1) the animal is dead, and (2) that the gutting process will be memorable.
