nope, i have supervised, however.
on my farm if you shoot it, you clean it!
i have some wonderful pictures of first timers with their arm way up in a cavity.
last year my nephew shot his first two deer with my rifle. in about 30 seconds he had both down and i supervised him gutting both then he helped us cut them up also. he can probably do it all now.
best story i did not get to see. my stepson went elk hunting with us and killed a bull. my partner came around the trail just as he was getting ready to make a mess. no, no, dont cut there, we got a better way. and he sat on a rock and supervised the gutless method. even stepson laughs about it. that and me leaving him at 4 am on the trail and telling him to walk up the trail till it ends and hunt. he said it got real dark when i left.
