Gutless cleaning. Who does it east of the Mississippi?

[arrowlauncherdj]

Ive not gutted a deer in ten years. Hams straps shoulders neck meat and if you do it right you can get the tenderloins inside the ribs without touching the guts. Deer ribs just don't do it for me bro... A bigger animal maybe but a south Alabama deer just doesn't have enuff meat on the ribs to waste my time on. Not to mention like the other guys said, taint a ton of meat with guts to get some dinky ribs... Not me.

Only reason I'll carry a bone out other than in the head and upper neck, is for my dog...and he may not get one..too much weight.

I,ve used it many times.  Bout every time I shoot some critter in a nasty spot.  I absolutely will not drag a deer more than 50 yards or so unless its down a fairly steep hill.  Its much easier on your back to pack them out.

Not trying to steal the thread but what kind of packs are some of you using for packing out the meat?

Well I'm not out East, but I used it on my Whitetail last winter hunting a SWA out on the plains, was able to get my whole deer out in one trip, 3 miles to the parking lot, however I did walk back and get my frame pack and return to butcher her. Didn't seem to loose any meat over conventional method. Plus it allowed me to drive my little beater commuter car out for the 200 mile roundtrip to my hunting unit, would of looked like a serious redneck on my drive back to Denver with her strapped to the top of the trunk:)

Does anyone know if this is legal in WI?
