Rear legs from a gambrel. I’ve seen the golf ball method and it is pretty slick but I guess old habits die hard. I still do it the same way I was taught as a kid.
I guess we are old school. We gut in the same place always, on the ground. We have a camera there we call the gut cam and we get some interesting shots. Then hang as shown if it's cold enough. Skinit right terer and quarter before heading home.I Iike looking out the window and seeing a deer or three hanging in the tree. Might take a little longer but it's worth it to me, and the gut cam is interesting and entertaining.

"Life's complicated, man, like a dang ol' Rubik's cube, man. Talkin' 'bout blue and red, man. Dang ol' get one side, dang ol' messed up th' other side, man."
I use a game hoist. Hang by the rear legs, with front legs touching the ground to hold in place.
I cant believe how long I have struggled with this and all I had to do was lower it down a little. Its always the obvious stuff that trips me up dang.....
Hilarious thread title btw....

Round rock works also. No hair on the meat doing it this way....
Was taught, and am pretty fast on the ground. LO at the lease is extremely proud of his hide pulling cables on the skinning rack, and, he doesn't want to attract more predators in his pastures ( ), so he requests that, if possible, we bring the animal in and gut it on the rack. It's taken some getting used to, skinning, then cleaning with head (or just the neck, if you aren't doing a shoulder mount) hanging down. It's delicate, and against the laws of gravity, but I've learned to dump the guts in a bucket without too much fuss. There's 2 to 3 other groups of hunters on the ranch though, and if there's a crowd at the rack, there's always some tool that feels the need to kibbutz and enlighten you with his vast knowledge of cleaning and skinning while you're trying to concentrate. 'Never see those types twice, and they're always there at the rack before you get there and after you leave.
The trip to the dump with the guts can be very interesting, varmint-wise.
