Seems there are several ways to skin a cat.
If I can hang the critter, I'll start at rear end and work down to the neck. I've had a couple instances where elk dropped beneath a hefty pine, and I packed my come along up to the kill site and hoisted them off the ground.
On the ground, however, I still prefer to work from belly to back.
