I disagree with the MPI gutting method, reaching up and cutting the windpipe inside the animal is a mistake if you want a really clean job. Better to open the neck, release the WP, tie it off and...

Better than average. Good bey tines and guards. Right palm a little weak. No bad splitting which is a sign of good blood lines. Hard to tell from a pic but maybe Douglas score around 170?? NZDA...

Couple of tricks I've learned, always remove the nuts and pizzle as soon as you can, before starting to gut. And try a simple 2:1 salt sugar brine, 2 days in that I find that will take away a lot...

Mate, I relate a lot to your story. Always been an outdoors person but nobody in my immediate family is a hunter. My first deer was also a Fallow spiker in Mackenzie. Thank you for sharing...
