Generally gut them or gutless process them right where they die. There have a few exceptions. If I have a downhill drag, and don't want a bunch of dirt and crap inside the body cavity, I'll sometimes move the deer, then gut just uphill from the truck, so it gets loaded right after gutting. Better to make an intelligent plan based upon all the factors than to create standard course of action that ends up running contrary to all the goals. Recovering as much good meat as possible is very high on the goal list.
