RE: The "rest of the story" - Doe No. 2 Recovered
 

I'm guessig he cut out all of the meat he knewwas good, straight off the dee, meat that doesnt contact internal organs so to speak... kind of like filleting a fish for lack of a better example.

I learned, last year,how to quartera deer and remove the backstraps without field dressing the animal. The only meat sacrificed is the inner tender loins. On an average NC doe.....that's about the equivalent to two pieces of meat the size of aregular banana.

She'd been laying for 13 hours....and I felt this was the best way to get the meat on ice, quickly. I didn't field dress half the does I shot, last season.

Hope this helps.

we have done this before as well jeff....skin em back and cut the meat right out. gutting is only neccessary when you dont plan on processing immediately really.

I still prefer to hang em and gut em, but in a pinch it works perfect this way as well.

congrats on two does!

I did Rob, and know I know that I shouldnt have gone in, but I left it up to the guy that shot the deer. That being said, that deer would probably have been spoiled here due to the differences in temperature. The second deer that Brian shot ( the thread is a fwe pages back) I convinced him to back out for a little while and the doe was only 30 yards away. Hopefully he took something away from this too. Congrats on your doe Jeff, sorry bout the clogging up your thread.

As far as not dropping the guts on her thats the way I clean all of mine you can skin them then cut the butt hole out so the guts will drop down inside the rib cage and get the inner loins to, I do understand that hers were probably no good just thought I'd try to explain great job IMO. Good luck the rest of the season, hope things keep going as well for you.
