Title: Need advice on leaving evidence of sex
Post by: Ajj828 on October 06, 2019, 11:30:56 AM: So I have never quartered a deer in the field and have always taken it out whole but this time I want to quarter it if I get one. I’m worried about accidentally cutting the penis or scrotum off of a hind quarter. How do I keep the balls or scrotum on when quartering? Is it as easy as it sounds of are there things I need to watch out for?

You can also keep a length of his thing, but the nut is the easiest for me.

Mark the game bag somehow so you don’t have to do a fire drill if you need to show it.
