With a deer I reckon dont even bother gutting.knife blade inside outward up the spine skin peel back plenty to expose the loins and minimise hair onto the meat, remove loins, flip over onto back take off back legs and fronts also if not destroyed from the bullet.not much meat left after that, bone out in the field if time rich leaving all but the meat on site, good not to have to deal with carcass stuff back at home if no use for it.but if gutting as the OP said.i use zip tie instead of string.
