I read an article in 1987 about how to take apart an elk without gutting it. Since trying it then, I don't even drag my deer out of the woods anymore. I take it apart right where it dies, I may drag it 50 yds to get it away from a favorite stand site but no more. Other live deer pay a dead one no attention what so ever. Most of my deer are bow shot and ususally make it far enough out of the way before falling. I can have the hams, shoulders and loins in a back pack in less than fifteen minutes. Use a cell phone to call it in for NC to be legal. The remians most times don't last 3 days, a week at the outside, there won't be anything left but some hair and a few big bones after the predators/scavengers get through. In my area, foxes, bobcats, possiums, coons, coyotes, dogs and buzzards clean up real quick.

We hang them up on a gambrel head down (with or without guts) and skin them. I have found the best tool for quickly skinning a deer is a 8 to 10" filet knife - razor sharp. You can lay the blade flat and slip it between the meat and the hide, turn it sharp side out and it will pop right thru the hide without nicking the meat or leaving a bunch of hair everywhere. Give it a try. After skinning we cut out the backstraps next - try that fish knife again for this. The meat on the hams is seperated by muscle group, each ham has three main chunks of meat on it and can be easily seperated from each other and the bone - most of this can be done without a knife. Just slip your fingers in betweeen the muscles and pull. The last chunk you pull/cut off looks like a 6" long football, this is one of the best pieces of meat you will ever taste. In about 5 min you can have the hams completely deboned. We then cut the jerkey and burger meat off the shoulders and were done. Most times you dont even get bloody and you can do this start to finish before your beer gets warm.
