The way I do the deer avoids opening them up, and I don’t want to do that for just a couple of slimy and bloody bits of meat. If I do, its the last thing so that there is no risk of spilling gut contents onto anything ‘cos by then the animal is pretty damned naked.

Nice one Tahr. That's exactly how I cut up my deer as well. Haven't gutted a deer in years. If the animal is smallish, I don't bone out the legs. Prefer to do it at home where I can keep things clean. If it's a large animal, then the bones are left on the hill.
