I think GregW is using the gutless method out west, in that situation I totally agree.
Out east where we bring the deer out while I cannot agree with his statement of “any situation”
lots of people out west bring them out whole...…..I am with SH......not going to hang anything with guts in...….bob
Out west where you could be miles from any road and packing in and out there is absolutely no reason to bring out anything whole...1/4 it up and through it in your backpack and hike out.
Pretty easy to tell who has hunted out west and who hasn’t.
