Sometimes I take 'em.....sometimes I don't.
To me it comes down to this....
Do I want to go through the trouble of gutting a deer for two pieces of meat about the size of a banana, each?

Part of the problem is few of us grew up on a farm...Those that did, often helped with the butchering of pigs and cows, so they knew where the tenderloins were and what to do with them...
Also...The tenderloins can be removed without gutting...Just make a small incision from the short ribs to the backbone and run your knife behind the tenderloin, slide it alll the way up and down, then slip your fingers in there and work it out...
They are worth the effort, they are the most tender part of the deer...

I did grow up on a farm, and one of the other things I was taught was to not be wasteful. I don't know about the rest of you, but I trim EVERYTHING off the deer I process. I even take the time to trim the meat out from between the ribs to be ground. I'm telling you, when I'm finished with it and take it back to the woods, the buzzards would look at it and ask "What the heck are we supposed to eat?"

Kinda wasteful..... as hunters we should all strive to use as much of the animal as we can. Granted we don't need to go as far as tanning our own hides and making bowstrings from intestinal lining, but for crying out loud you are gonna end up having to gut the thing anyway... take a sawzall and cut the backbone front of the hams..... you don't even need a knife to get them out. If you go to the bother of taking an animal... you ought to go to the trouble of doing more than a half ass job of dressing it.

Seems if your going to the trouble to kill the deer, might as well get those too....easily accessable by not gutting, so not much excuse not to get them other than being lazy. But then again, where do you draw the line between them and ribs, and organ meats, and such.
