Field dressing where?
#2
I take it to the house to gut and clean the animal there, that's if I can. Its good to have the hose ready to wash the inside out and plus its much cleaner. Otherwise if I can't drag or get to the animal to the four wheeler or truck, I gut the animal in the closest field or opening. I have seen pic's of does licking a gut pile before. I don't think its ruins anything. I just prefer to clean the animal at the house and dispose of the gut pile

Normaly I only drag my deer to a different spot to feild dress , if it is nasty uneven or wet ect
IMO a gut pile dosn't bother deer
As at least around where I live
After a night or 2
There isn't anything left , as the scavengers clean it up

I haven't gut a deer in years! Six years ago, someone showed me how to quarter a deer taking all four quarters, the backstraps, and even the tenderloins with-out gutting. The only mess I deal with is the anus / bladder when splitting the pelvic bone.
It's very easy and only takes me 15-20 minutes on an average deer (once its hung)- about half that with two people.

But here in Ohio
You need to take the whole deer ( feild dressed ) to be checked in
It isn't legal to bone it out or quarter before checking it
That will change next year , as we are going to a call in or internet chek in system
