Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Deer field dressing?

while the bladder is still hanging on the deer you can clip the bottom of it with a pair of scissors and drain it into a small bottle. I have killed quite a few deer that have walked straight to my stand following a scent trail I've made using the piss from a perviously killed deer. Apparently the old man in the video has no use for it!

only time I have ever thought a gut hook was handy was on a moose when opening up the seems on the spine and legs. On deer I only make 5 actual cuts with a knife to dress it in the field so I have never found the need for the hook. We bring them out whole as well and for 70 bucks we can have it cut wrapped and frozen around here , its well worth the money the guy does a great job.

i have done that once or twice

Our coyotes must be picky. Maybe they're filling up on quail and rabbits. Anyways, more times than not(in most of the ones I've paid attention to), that liver lays there till it rots.quote]

Must not have too many black bears. My last "gut pile" was nothing but a red stain in the dirt with paw prints the next morning.

How do you others get the tenderloin out without gutting it?

tndrbstr, the entire Internet says I'm wrong so I probably am, never found a site at the top of the trust list like a veterinary school that gave me an answer though. But I can't imagine what I could have seen that would make me think gall bladder. Can't wait for November to figure it out.
