A lot of times I bone out my deer right where they lay and put all the meat in plastic bags, load them in my pack and leave a cleaned picked rack of bones behind. I roll the hide up with the head for sex identification but thats about it. As far as game birds and waterfowl I breast them out immediately or as soon as I can. Ducks especially, nothing will make a duck taste like chit quicker than leaving the guts in for any time at all.
