We don't ever gut our deer, not worth the hassle.

Thats exactly what I do. Looks like a skeleton zombie deer by the time I am done with it. By far the easiest way and it takes up so much less room in the cooler.

Wyoming green jeans chewed our arse for not field dressing. If we gutted in camp, he could not verify kill site.

Fresh deer liver and onions wrapped in a tortilla is awesome.

I don't gut just to be gutting. If I am a long ways from home and it's warm or running dogs then I gut them in the field. I always gut and skin at home and take to the processor to be cut up unless I let them do it.

I don't get this. Skinning is 7 x the hassle of gutting.

What I don't get is people that don't eat deer burger. That's what the rest of the carcass is.

Skinning and quartering is easier than skinning, quartering and gutting...easier cleanup as well.

Never at my lease. If I'm hunting public land and have a long drag back to my truck I will.

Deer liver is awesome in a rice dressing. Hell, it is awesome just sauteed in onions.

We have a walk-in cooler. Gut every one, usually in the woods

Haven't gutted in many years. Just debone on rack. Not gutting almost completely removes the chance of contaminating the meat with e-coli.

Reasons I might gut are: long drag back to truck, if I develop a taste for heart or liver, if I had a walk-in cooler in hang.

For those that are bitching about being wasteful: You fillet your fish? You compost and recycle everything? Use paper products?...ect ect...

There are currently plenty of deer where I hunt so that it's not necessary to get every little scrap. Nature will keep churning em out like always for the foreseeable future.
