To Gut or Not to Gut

The thread about packing deer out got me thinking...Do you guys gut your deer or not? I personally have not gutted a deer in years, and doubt I ever will again. It kind of amazes me that people still do gut deer.

Insider tenderloins are great

unless we are caping a deer, we do not gut them.
once completely cleaned, i lay the deer on it's side, make an incision at the last rib and take out the inside tenderloin, flip the deer over and repeat.

You can still get the loins without gutting it.

I gut when I clean them not in the woods

never. It's easy to remove the tenderloins when hung by the hind legs. One small slit is all it takes

You talking about in the field or all together?
We rarely gut ours in the field unless they're waaaay back there. I always gut when cleaning because tenderloins are awesome, and I skin them out and let them hang in the cooler a week or so before cutting them up.

I know that. when did I say gutting a deer was a good idea?

Always gut. I don't mind it at all, and I like the gut meat to be in one piece with no tears.

I've always gutted the deer that i've harvested, the heart is by far the most sacred and meaningful part of the animal.

The steam that comes from the heart on a cold morning is pretty magical.

If it is cold enough to hang one a day or so then I will gut, otherwise, no gutting but will go in and get the tenderloins.
Posted on 12/10/13 at 3:02 pm to Salmon
I'll eat anything and that sound pretty good

People I know who run dogs will field dress then sink in a creek so they can go chase dogs or make another drive. So no reason to do it otherwise.
