Riddle me this. Why do y’all gut your deer? I don’t eat the ribs so there is no reason for me to gut it.

Hang by back feet. Skin or cape deer. Next cut front quarters off. Then cut belly flanks down to rib cage exposing the inner loins, cut them out. Next cut backstraps out. Then cut next meat off. Now cut spine where hind quarters are dropping carcass in container. Then I remove both hind quarters and place them on his back side. Cut each leg off the hip bone and take each leg and put meat side in cooler. Bend leg and separate at the knee. All that is left is femur bone. I thought everyone does this unless your eating the ribs and belly flanks. I find the flanks having too much tallow and ribs with not enough meat to fool with.

And in my better spots, i usually haul the deer back to my house and bury the guts in my garden. I know it usually dont bother them, but the more "normal" I can leave the area, better chance i figure we have to get the deer back normal
