I’ve used the gutless method a couple times this fall (for the first time in 30 years of hunting) and am pretty happy that I discovered the process.
Tonight I shot a doe by my house (harvest, not hunt) and I thought why not bring the whole deer to my barn, hang it and do the gutless method without bending over and killing my back. Reason being I can keep my dog out of the guts and won’t invite a bunch of predators around my farm ducks.
Anyway, I hung by the neck, basically case skinned the deer and removed the quarters and backstraps as you would with the gutless method. Worked great and was great to do it hanging at eye level. Hanging from the neck, the guys did kind of put a lot of pressure on the lower abdomen , but careful knife work and it all went as planned. A bit more mess in the barn from not gutting and bleeding, but not terrible. I’ll definitely do it again.
Just a FYI in case someone wants to give it a try.
