Yeah. I start thinking about it as soon as I shoot a deer and I always turn them down hill and stick them to bleed out. You will then find if you do that, if you cut the main artery in the hip when taking the back wheels off blood doesn't gush all over the show.
Clean pillow cases for the meat and keep everything off the ground. Only ever skin and cut from the inside out.

Then after its home and chilled I trim all of the silver skin with a thin boning knife. I would rather waste a bit of meat than leave hair or dirt on it. I never put water near it.

Sometimes it s a bit grubby when I get home from a wet hunt but its amazing how it comes up after a good trim. The dog lives on deer trimmings.
