Haven't exactly gutted a deer for a new hunter, but stood by and directed every step of the way for them to do it themselves. IMO, a much better way to approach it so they can do it themselves next time when no one is around...

First deer I killed with my son present- he was about 10 or 12 at the time. I was cutting away and I said "here, hold this out of my way" and I went back to cutting where I needed to.. a few minutes later he asks "where is his dick dad?" . I said "what do you think you've been holding for the last 15 minutes?".... wink
