I've tried hanging deer, gutting deer etc, and keep returning to the gutless method. Find it efficient and clean. Do one side at a time. Take the back steaks then all legs (skin on) off to hang in a nearby tree to cool down while processing. Bone out after. You can remove the eye fillets by feeling under the backbone and carefully working the blade AWAY from yourself against the underside of the backbone, using your fingers below to hold the gut at bay. It's a little tricky to learn, but once you've got it down, it's all good.
