Ravin R10 man Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 he done that a few times..but he did have help...

brendonp Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Question?? Does everyone hang there deer in the same fashion (but up)? My dad and all our neighbors have taught me to split the sternum, pelvis and neck on the gorund start the skinning, and then start raising the deer by the neck. As you raise the deer start gutting the deer out, then worry about skinning. Seems to me if the guts were to rupture you would spill gut juice all over the deer rather than just the pelvis region and/or the back legs. Even if we do a field gut we pull from the throat down and keep the guts off the meat as much as possible What are your thoughts?? p.s.: That was impressive, crazy fast! Sharp tools help alot!

dbHunterNY Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 that deer had to be still warm to pull the hide off like that. seems like i never get to it right then. looks like he's got it down to a science for cleaning a doe. i don't intend to go that fast though. don't want to lose any fingers and i don't have no-cut gloves.

need2hunt Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Most of my deer have been gutted in the field just for the sake of lightening the load on long drag-outs. If I have the opportunity to drive a truck relatively close to the downed deer, then I'll load it in the back and gut it at a different location off the back of the truck... make your basic cuts with it lying on it's back in the bed of the truck, then drop the hind end off the tailgate, one guy holds the front end of the deer up and one guy makes any necessary additional cuts and lets gravity do the rest. Everyone I know pulls from the windpipe down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Pretty impressive. Would be nice to have a clean concrete pad/washdown area and winch gambrel setup like that. Have gotten to where here at home anymore I don't hang a deer to gut it, usually move them from the tractor bucket to the tailgate of my truck and gut them on the gate.

Zambo Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 He is fast. I agree with dbHunterNY the deer has to be warm to pull the hide off that fast and easy. Usually I wait a couple hours if cool enough, track, field dress, drag, transport and then hang my deer. By that time the carcass has cooled and skinning takes a little longer than that.

I've always been taught to gut there deer in the woods, where it falls... reason is, creates a lot less of a mess, and it's a lot lighter of a drag... i've never, nor i have i ever seen anybody gut the deer after it has been hung... after we gut the deer we hang it by it's feet, usually we skin it a day or two later...

If you skin it while hanging it makes it easier, also it's a lot cleaner if you gut the deer while hanging it, the reason why we skin our deer all the way first is so that when we gut the deer there isn't any hair on the meat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Man that's fast! Thought I seen this on here and posted, maybe I forgot to post. We always gut the deer in the field and skin them once they're hung. Never seen one done like that all at once before, interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 That's nothing. I can do it in half the time. Actually I like to get the radio going, propane heater on, a six pack and make an evening of it with my dad. I hate it when I have to rush through the butchering process.
