Although i wasnt asked, Ill chime in. ;D


I do not gut. If its a morning hunt or its warm, ill go ahead and clean em. If its a "cold" night 44 or less Ill let em hang by the rear legs till the next day, doesnt hurt a thing. I quarter em up and and pull loins off then amd put on ice for at least 3 days. All the while I am draining the water and replenishing with fresh ice. After that I pull the quarters out and debone or take to processor for ground...usually do ground, we eat the heck out of it.

I cut up loins (backstraps and cook like in the recipe section...beat em, marinate, butterfly , stuff with connecuh, close up and wrap in bacon and grill. Best in da world!! I never buy steaks anymore, even at restaurants! 8)
