I Hit a Deer and Didn;t Know What to do

mo841 · Nov 22, 2016

Throw that bitch in the car and go. The dog can sit on top of it, he won't mind. Really though if u want to keep it you usually have to calI the cops and have them give u a tag saying you can have it legally.

How do you gut a deer with a rope?

well the first thing u do is get the deer near a tree with a good hanging limb on it
http://www.wikihow.com/Field-Dress-a-Deer

the point of the rope is to hang it so u can drain the blood and save as much of the meat as u can .....other wise i say do it on the ground but doing that with a car hit deer not much meat will be saved but dogs will eat well for months

edit
with a car hit u need to gut and drain that deer as fast as u can to save the meat ......u do not know the damage u caused leaving it to long meat will be fouled no good to anyone but the worms/bugs at that point

I get gutting quickly regardless of the method of the kill - been doing the guiding thing for more than (quite) a few years & have butchered literally several hundred animals.
Gutting on the ground is simple and sanitary (for the carcass) if done properly.
For the last 15 years or so I don't even gut them - split the hide down the back & take off all edible meat, the only reason to go into the internals is to get the tenderloins, heart & liver and that's done last.

boy scouts and rednecks taught me it is easier to hang it
drain the blood lay down a trash bag gut it letting it fall in there and bury it or burn it on the trash pile ........maryland deer are everywhere once u get out in my area ....i knew a guy that would hunt off his front porch (he was even deeper into the hills then me ....he wait until mid sept early oct when they start taken in the feed corn .....kill the ones he sawl coming to eat the left overs......3 nights and a about gallon of moonshine he had enough meat for the year )

u got to get the guts out after the blood in a car hit ........if u broke ribs and punchtured stuff meat going to be tained not even good dogs buzzards sure

Sounds like a good old meth addicted poacher party^^^^^

and we wonder why they put decoys out at night to catch the tweakers .....I'm in Cali and our heard got thinned out big time in certain areas due to HPV ...add on all the people poaching and thrill killing and now we all know why there's more bigfoots than deer in our woods ...I can't stand poachers or unethical hunters ..

Gut shot or gut tainted meat does not come into my house, however rednecks also taught me that it was absolutely imperative to split the pelvis & remove the lower intestine tract which is BS.
I'm not eating that crap so I don't mess with it - just cut the hams off of the outer pelvis & be done with it.
As far as the boy scouts go, all of the scout leaders I've met know less than your average suburban joe about processing quality meat & that's where I place their opinion (in the shitter).
I eat self harvested/processed Moose, Elk, Sitka & fish of all kinds daily & I don't need their help. :wink:

This. I don't gut em anymore either. I do 4 roasts, backstraps and tenders.

It was already dead. I didn;t know what to do with it so I stood it up for the next person coming down the hill. Maybe they had a truck or something.

Well, the up side is the tenderloins, heart and liver are the last I go after which means the rest of the meat is in bags nice & clean - almost blood free.
Here's a tip I learned - when I kill a moose (Deer, Caribou, Bear etc...) I butcher the meat into muscle groups - do not just willy nilly start chopping. Follow the seams and then pack it in ice in chest's - I've kept meat over 2 weeks like this just draining water & adding ice.
It really helps relax & wash the blood and hair off the meat.

Not the end-all best way, just the way I do it.

one night a buddy and i went to lunch from work.. was working grave yard at the time, so it was probably around 3am or so'ish.. my work was pretty much out in the country, and i'd see deer all the time on the way in, even saw a few fox and a coyote in the parking lot one night..
we were driving to a convenience store, smoking a bowl of course, when this damned cat ran out in front of my car.. there was no way in hell i even had a chance tonot hit it being it was so dark out and i honestly didn't see it until it was in my line of fire.. next thing i heard was.. padunk, and poor kitty was road kill..
i was still pretty upset over just killing a poor kitty cat, when we got about 500 yards from my work, and an intersection, so i look down at the dash for a split second to kill the high beams, and all of a sudden my friend screams, DEER.. i locked up the breaks, and just barely clipped the lil bambi with the hood of my car.. that sucker rolled onto the hood for a second, before he went running off into the woods.
it was this night that i earned my new nick name of killa..

I clipped a 1 1/2 year old bull moose in the ass at around 35 (while locked up) with the driverside of my built 87 F250.
The moose ran off like a quarter horse & I needed a new front clip.
Fucker !

I am hard pressed to think of a better option for such large game.
You just lay the skin out on the ground around the sides like a picnic blanket?

87 f250, idi?

that sucks.. i got pretty lucky.. this deer just put a small crack in the hood, a few inches up from where the hood meets the grill.. surely could have been much worse..

Yep, split the hide down the back & work it off of the quarters - take them, backstrap & neck meat off & then roll them over to do again.
After that you go in the abdomen to take the loins, the liver & heart - the rest is bear/raven/wolf/eagle food.
Nothing wasted.

My opinion only. Not a better way than what you described here . Best taste and never lost one bite the way you do it.

You and Beardo had to have sex with said animal. I knew you left something out. How is your brother Beardo these days. He still married to his sister? How many kids they have now?
