Do you gut your deer in the field or take it back to camp and gut it as u skin it or do u even gut it at all? I was always told u should gut it as soon as u harvest it to help with the cooling and quality of meat so i always gut as soon as i get to it. What do you all doe?

Once I get to where the deer laid down, I gut it there immediately. I don't want to leave them in and take a chance of getting a "gamey" taste in the meat. Also, it's a few less pounds to have to drag.
