Do you clean your fish/game before giving it away?

I give away a lot of trout and have been given a lot of meat from offshore trips. I have never given somebody a box of fish that needed to be cleaned and I have never given away ducks that needed to be cleaned.

i'll take some of that game off your hands.

I don't give much away because I'll eat off of it for the year, but I do clean what I give away.

If I go fishing with a few friends a lot of times I'll let them keep the fish. If they keep them I always offer to help them clean them. Except for the few trips where I tell them before hand that I got something to do that evening and am not keeping any fish. If they want to keep them, they're on their own cleaning them.

The deer meat I do give away is always cleaned, de-boned, and packaged though.

I give away ducks every morning uncleaned. Most of the fish is cleaned. I have given away uncleaned fish at times, esp when I have way to many to clean, but I let them pick the ones & amount they want. Just do them a favor & make sure they have a Lic when you give them unclean fish/game. I have seen people get busted at the launch for taking fish that someone gave them & they did not have a Lic.

No. It's always cleaned unless it's a "hey man you want these ____________" (4 trout, 1 duck, etc. )

This.

I always clean my fish before giving them away.

Only way they aren't cleaned is if someone shows up when i return, i may offer hey you want these all you have to do is clean them.

Deer, yeah I skin it and have it made into whatever. Fish..do it your damn self.

This for me. Always clean em.

All cleaned and usually vacuum sealed with the exception of hogs. I kill so many and there is so much good meat that all head shot hogs I choose to give are offered whole. Occassionally someone gets lucky though like the guys at the arky game who got the 50 lb sow all cleaned and dressed on ice ready to cook

I absolutely would never give anyone I know fish or game that needed cleaning. If I did, I'm certain they'd never tackle it and let it go to waste.

Like most of the posters already stated when I give away meat it has been clean, packed, and ready to go.
