My first two deer were gutted in the field and dropped off. The rest for the last 12 years have been done hanging in a tree on the property I hunt on 30 yards from my feeder. Never had a issue like some would think, hell I have had deer walk up to the feeder while I am skinning and processing a deer multiple times. I dont gut them anymore, simply drag em to the tree, set up the hanger and use the truck or the side by side to pull em up. skin and bone out the meat into 1 gallon bags and get it on ice. Start to finish on a mature deer maybe 30-45 minutes depending on how cold I am and whatnot.
