To gut or not to gut...

...that is the question.
December 16th, 2013 I am getting a STAR ankle replacement (Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement)
I bought a deer cart so I can hunt further in the woods instead of just the edge.
The question is should I gut the deer after tagging it or wait until I get back in the woods with the cart?
I'm thinking about critters, hunters stealing my harvest and the hour or so it would take me to walk to my vehicle to get the deer cart and back again.

That's a pretty cool development. When my feet had to be rebuilt back in 1997, they said if it didn't work they'd have just glue all the bones together as there was no good and lasting way to rebuild the ankles at that time.

Take the cart in with you when you start the hunt.
Makes sense to me. Unless you're thinking it would make a lot of noise? Or are you stalking? That would make it tough.
A hunting buddy should be considered also.
Good Luck!![:)]
take a rope with you and string it up while you get your cart
Damn. You guys hunt tough.
In my neck of the woods, we shoot 'em.
Lynching a deer would never have occurred to me.

The trails are way to narrow for the cart.

air ride or MacPherson strut? [:D]
I always field dress as soon as I tag it.
Can't you borrow a quad? simply run back to the animal, load it up, and drive it out.
If not, I would place the cart inside the woods line, where you enter, rather than leave it back at the truck. Shorter walk that way.
I too have an old lineman's safety harness. Tie a line to the animal, then the back of the harness, and start walking out with your deer in tow.
Take a plastic bag along and put the heart and liver in there. Even if you don't want to eat heart or liver it is the best dog food in the world.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
gut then drag.
... yes but make sure the deer is dead before field dressing! [}:)]
