How To Clean A Deer Without Gutting

Does any one cut deer up with out field dressing it

Have done it a few times when its a long walk back to the truck. With a good knife and a leatherman its pretty easy.
Never have but I watched it done on two bucks Tuesday night. Only drawback I saw was the sheer amount of blood that spills from a .270 hole when the deer is hoisted

Never done it myself. I suppose if it could be done quickly and the shot didn't damage any abdominal organs, it would be ok. Though the skinning process would lead to all the contents spilling down at your feet, yet still attached in the deer. It would be far less than ideal. My philosophy has always been to field dress as soon as humanly possible after a deer is down.
I used the gutless method for the first time about 8 years ago and haven't gutted one since. I've skinned them out just laying on the ground as well as hung up. On the ground seems a little easier to me, primarily for getting the tenderloins out.
You miss out on the best meat If you don't dress it...

If you're talking about the tenderloins, you can actually get those out without gutting it. The only thing that I can't figure how to remove without spilling organs are the ribs. Lol
X2..
I've done a bunch laying on the ground gutless..been a mile from the truck at Taylorsville many a time & brought deer out in garbage bags & a backpack.If I was gonna let one hang overnight I would definetly gut them..but if Im gonna do them up right then, theirs no sense making more of a mess..I've got the inner loins off of every deer I've ever butchered..gutted or not..
I do it because I live in an apartment and don't want to hang one up in there. Lol
I've been wanting to get a frame pack and haul it out like elk (mainly because I would feel cool). The fields get too wet to drive through by this time of the year, and I don't like lugging the cooler. Do you just put the garbage bags in the back pack? You have one of those huge military packs or something?
The deer has been field dressed in this video but isn't completely necessary.
I never gutted one up untill a few years ago when I wanted to try the heart, now I gut every one just to get the heart

I have a Crooked Horn mainbeam pack.I think its around 2200 cubic inches..more of a daypack than anything.I've used packs from walmart & they work to..I line the inside of the pack with a heavyduty garbage bag & debone as I go..only thing I leave the bone in is the front shoulders....works even better if you have a buddy with another pack to help ya haul it out..
We butcher all our deer here in FL without gutting. I think I have field dressed 3 deer in my whole life. But our deer are much easier to drag out especially with the game dolly.
Edit: I meant we as in my buddies and I not all Floridians!
A buddy of mine does all his without gutting. He's got a 55 gal drum cut in half that he hangs them over. To get the tenderloins out, he just cuts and pulls the guts down just enough to get to them. Then de bones the hams, cuts the shoulders off and the rest all goes in the drum in one piece. He makes it look pretty easy but I still gut mine. Set in my ways I guess.
