We always gut our deer where they drop with one exception. We have one excellent old apple orchard that we hunt only out of stands. When we get one, we'll take a 4 wheeler to retrieve the deer. Then we'll load it in a truck and take it up the road a couple of miles to state land then field dress. We have an awful coyote problem and we figure we don't need to be drawing them into the orchard. 9 ot of 10 times wherever we gut a deer, the gut pile will be gone by the next day.
