Gutless Field Dressing Hogs

[denowt]

That's cool and all but you miss out on the best part "The Tenderloin"!!! I don't mind playing in guts to get em

If you know what you're doing, you can still get the tenderloins without dropping the guts out.

Pretty neat if you don't mind hair all over the meat.

If done right, you won't have any more hair on the meat than any other method.

We do this for all deer and hogs.
Hang 'em up, skin, cut off front shoulders, backstraps, reach in get tenderloins, and cut at hip ball joints to drop carcass into an old cattle molasses tub.
We're left with a fully intact carcass with the guts still inside, ready to dump.

If we're cleaning it at home, we usually de-bone it while hanging. Takes a little more time, but you're going to have to do it eventually anyway. We end up with a cooler of meat, ready to be iced down for a few days.

Huh?!?!?

[Avezorak]

Well then show the guy in the video how to do it right.

2 words. Water. Hose.

Haha. I didnt watch the video but if you do get hair on the meat, just rinse it.

That works fine and I do some that way myself. However, the guy in the video left off the skinning part and went to cutting though hair and hide to remove the legs. I prefer my wild game to go into the freezer in at least as good of shape as the meat I buy at the meat market and hair doesn't fit in the plan.

I do my deer like this.
No gutting. Nothing In there but a mess and a chance of getting the tasty back straps messy.

[homegrown]

That's how we do it every time. Hang it and quarter it and dump it. Oh, and make sure and get the tenderloins! Only time I'll skin one, whether a deer or hog is if it's gonna get mounted with a full cape.

Cant lie, this made me laugh out loud. Funniest post Ive seen in awhile.

As long as the hair is still attached it's all good but loose hair scattered all over ain't gonna cut it.

[horns100]

yeah I been doing that way for years

[TD2000]

Cactus burner will take care of the hair and ticks in minutes prior to bucket of guts technique

I am also looking for old style tub on legs to consider hot soak and shave for whole hogs

[JP135]

If we shoot a wild hog, we do the gutless method. I

f its one we've trapped and finished out on grain, we gut it and get every bit of meat, the ribs and the backstrap intact.
