It really helps if you run your knife blade up into the cavity area a few inches and make sure you cut all the way around it. Then, when you pull the guts out, everything comes right out with the guts. No breaking the pelvic area open, and all comes out clean.

I guess my point is why gut it if you plan to quarter and put on ice quick.

I don't normally gut anything anymore but one of the hunts my son was on recently TPWD wanted to get the field dressed weight. The mosquitos were so bad I gutted that thing fast, had to be 90 seconds maybe 2 minutes. Kid was laughing at me from the blind because I'd slice and flap my arms all around and run in a circle and slice and pull and flap some more. lol

Hangin' from our rack with gut bucket underneath...easily under 3-4 minutes although Ive never done it for speed nor do I care too.. I don't do it out in the field at ground/foot level due to dunlap disease unless I absolutely have to . Personally I prefer to do it in zero seconds and get the tenderloins through the side.

I am slow. Call me what you want, I would just agree with you. I hate doing it, I don't like guts. I fear puncturing the intestines... I would say it takes me 30 or 40 minutes. I have only done it about 4 or 5 times in my life though. Twice this year and the 2nd time it was noticeably quicker... I am sure I will get quicker with time as I get more accustomed to it.

I never gut them till I have them hanging up on the Gimble. Takes me about an hour to quarter one and get it on Ice. Pigs sometimes take longer than deer. I take my time and do a good job however long it takes me. If you don't already have one of the new replaceable razor blade knives get one they help alot and save much time. I got a real cool Titanium handle one with 10 blades from CountyComm for 24 bucks.
