As a self taught hunter, I relied on youtube as well as other sites to see the actual process of field dressing. I used the Elk101.com's field dressing technique as you avoid messing with the gut bag and the like while still getting the filet and all the goodies from inside of the body cavity. The one thing that the gutless method doesn't touch, IMHO, is if you're lucky enough to bag a "trophy", then caping it without splitting down the neckline would be quite difficult. I've never caped an animal, so who knows if I have a valid point or not. Definitely try a quick search on youtube for "field dressing", and you'll get a ton of video's, some good and some bad. I also believe the Colorado fish and game has a field dressing video out there as well. The problem is that most field dressing videos are with females, and field dressing a male, especially around the genitals are a little different. Hope this helps.
