- We've all busted guts and spilled a little pee, but which of these gutting sins will really ruin your venison?

Should use a butt out and call it a day in the tail end. Done in seconds with no cutting and no mess caused (Once you use it you will never cut the rear end again). Also, use a gut hook knife and save yourself the trouble of ever hitting the stomach. Just a small cut below the sternum and turn the knife to the gut hook and slide it down to the itty bitties. Then you go in with the same knife to cut the diaphragm lining and reach up to cut the esophagus and pull as you already do. All comes out at once and you are done in under 2 minutes.
I agree. When I get one down the first thing I do (after I get the tag on) is use the butt out. I have a Buck crosslock knife with a drop point blade and a gut hook. I’m not sure why Buck doesn’t make it anymore. It’s a one-handed operation to roll it over and deploy or fold either blade.
Good information, thanks. The information I was hoping for is the best way to get the bladder out without spilling it. Good to hear that it’s not the big deal that I thought it was. On the last deer I harvested I worked very carefully in that area but still leaked a little urine. One thing I always try to do is get the head uphill a little, which makes it easier to work in the chest cavity.
I purchased a small pelvic pull saw a few years ago. It’s small and light easy to pack and only cost about $18. I cut out both sides of the pelvic bone and everything in the bottom comes out easily and with the pelvis open the meat cools much quicker.
I can definitely do one on the ground on a tarp super easy and quick. A doe normally 22-25 minutes an a buck was about 33 minutes saving the head. No gut method. Just cut legs,back strap,loins an neck meat and as much rib meat as possible. If you take it back to camp. Take pictures and talk about it then ,hang it up an gut it then skin it then ,wash the skinning station and go haul the guts and then wash the gut bucket it will take an 1 1/2 hours once it’s all said and done.
It’s best to leave the mess in the woods. I normally bring a tarp, gloves ,small saw ,game bags or pillowcase for meat ,and I keep a gallon of water in my truck to clean up with.
I lived in Oregon most of my life and primarily used the gutless method and packing out quarters. It's really simple and you can still get the tenderloins out from the back, it's just trickier. I'm now in south Georgia and if I'm not close to home or the truck it's my go-to Method.
Not new to field dressing but I must say, damn good video, sir. Wish everyone a good hunting season 👍🏼
You took the time to get out and hunt, you take the time to dress the animal and care for the meat properly- no doubt.
"8th Field Dressing Sin" 😅:
You took the time to make a RUclips VIDEO on field dressing deer and don't include field video/images or illustrations of what you're describing. Great visual learning opportunity for young or inexperienced hunters (these can be RUclips censorship friendly if that's the concern). That's just my 2 cents for overall effectiveness, since you took the time to make this! No offense! I appreciate the time that went into this, but some visuals would really add to this. I understand what you're describing, but others may not.
I have modified my field dressing tactics a little bit over the past 25 years, based on guidance, research, and experience. It takes just a couple minutes, even if a strong quartering shot gets into the guts.
A couple helpful pieces I don't think you touched on... using gravity to your advantage where you dress the deer. Using a slight incline (if available) can be very helpful in the process and your back, even if you have to drag the deer to an optimal spot and especially if alone. Also, making sure you pay attention to where you are setting your knife/knives, especially in the dark. Another, if you use gloves, which I recommend, two things: don't leave them in the woods, and you can grab the heart (if intact) and turn the gloves inside out as a carrying vessel for the heart. Last, bringing a bottle of water in your pack to rinse the cavity when finished is always nice.
Cheers
This video got me to follow you and I'm looking forward to all of your other ones.So I left a comment
Great video!
Great video, I always try to dress my deer out and cool it off as soon as possible. This has a lot to do with the game taste of the deer.
I do all the trimming as you do, I only cool I for one day then cut and package with two layers of plastic wrap and freezer paper.
Great video for us new guys
What Model/Brand was that heavy knife?
Does anyone have video showing the comment at the 11:20-11:40 being done in the wild? I've seen a few videos and not one person has done this, and after listening to it, it's freaking genius!
I always start from the butt to chest when it field dressing my deer
A school bus size seat belt cutter makes for an easy cut up to sternum
Do you have any idea how fast a photo can be taken? I'll give you a hint.. "click"
I gut them soon after I shoot and recover the deer. I love making gut piles. It’s easy and fun means I killed a deer worth harvesting.! Get a lil blood on your hands if you want to be a man.
Thank you
Never had an issue leaving a deer over night in northern MI....
If people aren't debating about broadheads I guess they gotta debate about something else....
I can't believe that this conversation has to be had.
I always get the pictures right after nabbing my prey from the cooler. I don’t advise you wait until the T-bone is paid for, taken home and unwrapped.
I’m hungry, now
Would you eat venison that test positive for cwd
No
there is no current or historical cases or even anything from the CDC to show that muscle tissue from a CWD deer would affect a human@@tylerparker3024
HELL YEAH...BOUNUS
Bounus?
Fake news
Definitely don’t be wasteful hunter, if you kill it it should be edible to someone, even heart and liver are prized by some. Great video
I do photos first.
Couldn’t watch the whole thing. Took too long.
If you're a big time hunter and cant field dress a deer properly. Stop hunting
At some point you were incompetent at field dressing. Everyone has to learn
Sounds like a kinda guy I can’t stand
@@shawnhagen6871 correct my first deer when I was 12. Hunted with my grandpa and father and they both sat in their stands and told me to go learn. You learn real quick how to dress it properly. Best thing they could of done.
@@nategardoskiI killed my first deer on Saturday. I'm 43. The only info I had was a couple of RUclips videos. I made a horrible mess of things, but everyone starts somewhere. I wasn't lucky enough to hunt as a kid.
@@jayadamsky ya your first time is the worst. Now you know what not to do. Lol. I was so blessed to be able to start hunting at a young age
You're way overpaid
Just do the gutless method and stop leaving your animal in the field over night.
Especially you farm/ tree stand feeder hunters.
