Gutting for the Gutless:
1) Ream butt hole with knife.
2) Overcome homophobia and grab pecker and cut off. Don't do this with does. Oh yeah, the deer's pecker.
3) Slit skin from sternum to butt hole. Continue slicing into meat being very careful not to cut into stomach lining. Get a really sharp, high quality knife or you'll screw it up for sure.
4) Use a bone saw or folding hunter's saw to cut through breast bone and pelvic bone.
5) Cut windpipe. Cut away lungs and internal organs from body cavity. Don't puncture the stomach. It is SOOOO gross and smells worse than a porta potty at a Jimmy Buffet concert (what do those parrot heads eat anyway?).
6) If this is your buddy's first kill harass and embarrass him into "becoming a man" by practicing the it-cannot-be-healthy tradition of drinking blood or eating a piece of the heart or something really barbaric like that. Don't stop your insults until he complies. If he vomits Email us the picture and we'll put it on our website. (Eat like a cave man at your own risk.)
7) Turn body on its side to get to that stringy stuff that holds everything in. Gently pull on colon ( reminds me of a joke :###) to remove previously reamed butthole. Don't yank too hard or it will rip and leave deer poop all over the inside. If you need to, cut stringy stuff connecting lower GI to cavity.
8) dump the now disconnected gut onto ground in big steaming pile.
9) Rinse cavity with water if available. You really need to clean out the cavity if you made a mistake and got stomach contents or feces loose in there. We have wiped out the inside with grass too which helped when water wasn't handy.
10) Split cavity and hang to cool. We haven't slit the throat to bleed the carcass but it makes sense. We'll let you know next year if bleeding reduces gaminess. Hell, if Jewish people do it it must be right. Shalom and good luck!
11) OPTIONAL - deposit hot gut pile on driveway of animal-rights activist.

What were you doing with my offspring? 
naw..yeah I've done that too before. When I was younger I'd be cleaning a deer or squirrels in the back yard and my sister's friends or something would see it and all hell would break loose. I've seen many a tough SOB throw up from gutting when that gas gets out..lol I ate a PB & J sandwhich one time while I was doing it and really grossed some people out...

We use a large Schrade knife (older ones made in the good ol' USA) and we can do it all with one of those, no extra bone knife needed 
You can go ahead and skin your deer, quarter it, cut out any other meat and pack it all in a cooler with ice and salt. Drain off the water and add more ice as needed for 2-3 days and it will pull the blood out of the meat and takes away a little of the gamey taste

| Thats funny stuff there. My hunting buddy and I can gut them out pretty quick but another of my friends took him about an hour to gut his first one but we gave him plenty of hell in the process.

I have never puked but I will say I have gagged a couple times. The job does get done though and that is all that counts.

Color me gutless! Any sort of powerful smell at all and I'm gagging.

eh I can handle it... Ive had to do it to 4 of my friends deer in the past... all because he was a sissy and puked every single time. "hey come help me find my deer" he'd say and stupidly Id come along... you think I would have learned the first time or second... but it doesnt bother me just get in there get r done and move on I hate the skinning part just because its kinda weird to look at BUT I think its more of a "wow are we almost done" type of deal

LMAO!!! Been huntin since I was 8 years old. Never gagged, or lost my cookies.
Very rarely gut a dear any more. Skin it, cut out backstrap, tender loins, quater it and use a fillet knife to remove the rib meat. Carry away the guts in the rib cage. Very little blood!!
only way to go...
