Field dressing a deer !

[Joe H]

Maurice chambers is the fastest I have seen. He feild dressed two 75 pound hogs with his pocket knife in less than a minute for both of them. I commented that he was fast and he said he wasnt trying to hard..it was amazing

[HainesNYT]

I usually take the meat off them while they are on the ground…leaving guts in. It still takes me quite a while.

Heck of a video…I liked watching that guy spin the knife around in his hand as he changed directions…crazy.

If im in a hurry for some reason I can do it around 5 minutes tops. But most of the time, its a two beer job: examining the bullet/arrow hole & damage to vitals, describing scenes from the hunt, etc..

I can get it done in under 5 easy if I'm in a hurry and I'm trying to knock out 4 or 5 deer I clean others deer because one is very old and can't get around and one in a wheel chair plus the wife.. But if I just doing one I shot I usually spend about 10 just cause I'm not in a hurry..

You know, I'm sort of like that now too. It is part of the hunting experience. It is a requirement at our camp that animals be field dressed before bringing into camp... 200+ deer off one skinning area in a season, makes for a mess when they're not gutted. We have limited water, so it's not easy to wash down the area...

...bein' a kid raised in East Texas, I CAN take one apart on the ground, in the dark, and not get a drop of blood or a single hair on me if I have to... , but those days are almost 50 years behind me now. I actually enjoy field dressing/examining the organs for shot evaluation and such, then unless the animal is one for the wall, hang it up by the head and when I'm done, a buzzard would starve on what's left of the carcass. I also don't use anything but a pocket knife to take it apart. Anywhere you need to take it apart, there's a joint. On nice fat hogs, I take the ribs off the backbone with the same pocket knife.

Speed is not important to me most of the time unless weather or travel deadline is a factor... I can do it quick if I have to, but I mostly choose not to.

exaggerations on a reality show? say it aint so!

[Daniel75]

I'm slow (ask Wes), takes me about 20 minutes but I take my time, I don't want to get cut.

We had this jack wagon on a lease one time that was always timing himself when cleaning his deer. He tried the "pull the skin off with the truck trick" once and pulled the head off the deer. He was always talking smack about how fast he was. I always waited until he was gone until quartering up mine.

That probably involved the "rock technique, right? Deer hung from rack...pull just enough skin back at neck to tie it off w/ a rock inside and attach a rope to truck bumper?

Probably was same guy I hunted with...

I've always field dressed mine but after seeing so many on here that don't...guess I don't see a real need for it anymore. I normally get the quarters, back strap and tender loins in the cooler as soon as possible. Sometimes I will dabble at some of the neck trimmings but seldom mess with the ribs anyway.

[super_dave]

Don't field dress any more. Skin, quarter. Done

Amen! Gutting is for the birds!

[psicoo]

I don't gut mine anymore. I can quarter and get tenders without gutting it

This!

[Shake N' Bake]

I'm pretty slow but don't field dress a deer unless I can't get em cleaned very quickly.

I skin and remove the front shoulders, neck / trimmins, back straps, tender loins and lastly the rear quarters letting the backbone and guts fall into the bucket.

Here's an interesting twist, I think he's done this before.

I bet he's done that a few times

[flufster]

Amen! Gutting is for the birds!

and yotes!!

we put our carcas with guts in it out in the middle of a field and whack 4-5 yotes a season off of it

[Bowyer]

Half an hour is enough time to take a deer from standing under the feeder to quartered and on ice in the cooler.
