I wish I had better luck this year. Didn't see any bucks, only 4 does. My RC-4 with the orange handle is still waiting to taste some blood.
Looks like you guys cut out the windpipe from the outside. Seems like that is how they do it west of the Mississippi. Funny, you would think by now everyone would field dress their deer the same way. When you look at information on how to do it, like I did when I started deer hunting, there is a lot of variety in methods. I guess if there is more than one way to skin a cat, there should be more than one way to fiels dress a deer!
