RE: How Long(Feild Dress)???
Hopefully you've already succeeded with your quest. If not here is my 2 cents. I prefer doing this at the edge of a river or creek. Position the head, hopefully with antlers, facing uphill with the rear legs facing downhill. With the animal on his back I start at the bottom, Have your cousin hold one rear leg to spread the animal. From here use whatever info you have on the gutting. Gravity will help remove the guts. Catfish will eat them.I usually strip down from the waste up before I start and wash my hands and arms upstream before putting my shirt and coat back on. Most people can't even tell I've cleaned a deer. Send me a PM if you have any other questions.
BTW no one showed me the first time either. I was covered from head to toe in Blood but I've slowly figured out how to do it.
Gut him as quickly as you can and I think your supposed to have a taste of that blood on your first one...kinda salty if I remember.
