RE: do you gut your deer??
We hardley ever gut a deer. Hang it up and split the hide around the tendon and ham. Cut around the genatials and flip it back over the back. Cut out the rectum and let it fall in the deer.
Take off the hide down to the neck.
Cut the stomach meat down on both sides to the rib cage. The guts will hang out a bit but will stay in the deer.
Cut out the sweet meat/tenderloin.
Cut off the shoulders.
Cut out the backstrap.
Cut the spine at the hams and the guts and carcass falls into a tub.
Split the hams.
Then all you have to do is cut the feet off the shoulders and the hams and cut out the neck roast if you want it.

RE: do you gut your deer??
Field dressing is done here in SC but I'd venture to say that it's not the norm. Most deer are hung, skinned, gutted and quartered.
Last year I saw the "gut free" method for the first time and thought it was pretty sweet!!! Using this method you get everything but the ribs and the chest cavity is used to carry the guts.(that's the sweet part if you don't have a big bucket)
farmcntry explained the steps perfectly.

We very seldom gut our deer in the field unless its the last day of the hunt or its especially warm that day. We generally wait until we are back at camp and either do it once we hoist it up the pole or take it off to the side and we've never had a problem with the dogs getting into the gut piles.

RE: do you gut your deer??
this is kind of on the same topic, but has anyone cut the meat off of a deer without it being hung up? can it be done? i dont necessarily have acess to anything i can hang it up on this season for a few hours, and i was wondering if this is possible.
