    reason I hang by horn when caping is so the blood will come out of the chest cavity.
    I'd sure like to watch you cape a deer out that is hanging by the head!

      Gutting on the ground is pretty easy, the guts just roll out.
      I cleaned every deer I shot and a lot of others doing just that or on the tailgate of my Jeep or truck.

      Hurt my back in 96 and can't do that anymore so it's head down.

      Plastic covered metal cable attached to a bolt in the concrete of the cleaning rack slab with a slip knot on the other end.

      Make the cuts on the insides of the rear and front lets and around the neck (if not caping) then put the golf ball inside the hide up near the rump. Put the slip knot around the hide covered golf ball and start winching the deer up and it's skinned.

          Y’all non gutters don’t keep the heart, rib meat brisket and flank. There 10-15 # of sausage wasted.

          MI use the heads down method and only field dress to reduce weight for a long drag or if i have a long haul and it’s warm. The way i was taught and will prop never change. I have used the gutless method when the guts and organs are blown to pieces and i wouldn’t eat the rib meat anyway. Then i just snag the tenders out and call it good.

            No-gut method is all we do.

            Do the same thing in the field if packing out.

                  What is this skin and quarter you speak of?

                  I haven’t skinned a deer in I can’t even remember how long. I just don’t enjoy it and don’t mind paying my processor $20 to do it.

                  That may change when I build my house and am able to do my own processing.

                      What about cleaning Wild Hogs? Head up or down?

                          There were Indians who did the same. They called them the women.

                            Hang em by the neck unless it's a trophy. Cut a line inside front legs up armpit peel those back then once neck is peeled down enough roll up the cape and pull down roll and pull down. I've had it pull the tail off a doe and it's great having it on the hide I had done.
