Deer gutting DVD's/Online examples

[sapper]

You may recall an earlier post by me about how next weekend's hunting trip went from a trip with lots of gear, 5 hunters including me (3 newbies and 2 experienced hunters) to just myself and another newbie. Last year my buddy and I watched and helped as a friend (one that had to back out of this trip) gutted my first kill and showed me how to do it. Next weekend the two of us will be trying to recall all that he did and not make too much mess and wreck any meat. Can anyone recommend any DVD's or, better still, some online resources that show/give advice on gutting a deer? I think I recall the skinning as that was fairly obvious and I was doing most of it so recall it quite well.
Thanks all. I'm still really looking forward to getting away next weekend and cutting one of my LEH tags.

Best I have ever seen is from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. 13 bucks US, and it covers field dress, skinning and shows you the boning procedure for choice cuts of roasts, steaks, ribs, chops

Put it on youtube.com and then embed a link here...just like photobucket but for video.

Yes, I did that for about 45 minutes last night but there are some pretty bad one's posted. I was hoping if there was one that people really thought was a good example they could suggest it.

Both those are pretty good...the first one is for a doe, but the basic process is the same, just go around the penis and scrotum instead of cutting straight down (remember to leave evidence of sex on the body)

Thanks for the posts - Try the library, I am heading there this afternoon to pickup a hold on a video that details dressing out deer. Only problem - vhs only

this is the way we deal with animals in the field...its quick, clean, does not require gutting, and breaks the animal into manageable peices.

Thanks, all. Lots of good stuff here. If we leave the head on the doe isn't that evidence enough of sex?
