No gut method makes it faster.

It takes me about 50 minutes if I am caping the deer out for a shoulder mount. Otherwise it takes me around 35-40. I get faster as the season progresses. I clean 20-30 each year on our place, so my practice level is pretty high.

20 minutes of that is finding a ladder and setting it up

Depends

Is it Saturday night or Sunday morning? Is there a another person or maybe a third to get and open beer? How many critters are we cleaning at once

[AntlerCollector]

About 15 minutes usually. Some of y’all are slow pokes.

Man, I thought I was doing good at 1.5-2hrs. That being said, I even get the meat between the rib bones.

I never get in a hurry, so my time is probably close to yours. I don't gut them, unless I'm on a hunt that requires it.

If we're at camp with family, we get a cup of coffee and relive the story of the hunt as we process it out. My dad loves this part more than he does the actual hunt.

I only partially gut, just enough to pull the backstraps out. And talking about the hunt is the best part, especially with family.

I have been known to have to lower them a bit in order to reach the hind legs.

If I’m by myself, I can drag out the entire process about 2 hours. That’s everything from weighing, to cleaning and hauling off remains. I do a lot of trimming while my deer is hanging, and I don’t use a saw, I go through joints at the knees and hip ball joints etc. so no bone fragments. If I am in a hurry, I can get through the process in an hour, but certainly haven’t done as thorough a job.

Kind of all depends, Doe and someone to hold her pretty quick maybe 30 minutes to the ice chest. Caping a buck by myself it’s probably 1.5 to 2 hours.

Usually around 3 weeks including cooler time...

Depends....I can’t talk and clean at the same time, and I hardly ever stop talking.

By myself, I can break one down in about a half hour and get it in the ice chest.

Ringed out and saving the cape takes me another 45 minutes.

I always thought I was pretty quick at it, but never timed myself. I got the opportunity to go to the hill country one year with a friend of mine and some guys who worked for him. His foreman was from Mexico and when he was a kid his dad owned a butcher shop. Long story short, he cleaned 3 deer in the time I finished one. To this day I’ve never seen anything like it.
