[QUOTE="gonefshn, post: 191188, member: 380"] I too quit doing the gut and hang thing. First thing I do is cut the legs off at the knees. Then put it on it's belly and cut right down the center from the back of the head to the tail. I then come down along the bottom of what'd be their jaw on both sides and in front of the front shoulders. Peel the hide down a bit and take out the neck meat. Then a cut down right behind the front shoulders. Then pull out each shoulder (although I do try to blow the $hit out of their shoulders when I shoot them so I can skip that step and avoid wasting what seems like 20 minutes for a pound of meat off each one). Then a cut down in front of the hind quarters. Peel down the hide a bit and remove both back straps. A little incision between the bottom of the rib cage and the hind quarter and I can put my hand inside and pull out the inside straps. Then I strip the hide off the hind quarters and cut them both out. Bring a few plastic bags and all my meat goes in them. I'll then freeze them if I don't have time or keep them cool until I have a chance to bone the meat out. It takes me maybe 5 minutes more than the old gut, drag, and hang method. The best part is I don't have a deer hanging that if I take the hide off right away I end up with a bunch of dried meat. If I don't I have a carcass full of hair I need to burn off. This way I no longer ever have to worry about taking care of that hanging deer because the temps getting warm outside or whatever. With it wrapped in plastic in the the freezer, I can take care of it whenever I feel like it. btw.... According to the wardens you do need to remember 2 things. #1. You need to cut the head off as it must be with the carcass when you transport it home. #2. You do need landowner permission to leave the carcass in the field. Otherwise, it's considered littering.
