The audience that I am addressing are hunters who have never cleaned a deer before and want to attempt to do it the right way in order to preserve as much of the animal that they harvested.

I chose to write the instructions on how to field dress a deer it is one of the most important aspects of the hunting experience. Killing the animal is the easy part, making sure that the animal that you have killed doesn't go to waste can be a difficult task. I have never seen a set of instructions on how to properly clean a deer, or any animal for that matter, that gives clear instructions of the step-by-step process. There are all kinds of TV shows dedicated to show people how to find and kill animals, but I have yet to see one that shows the viewer how to actually preserve the game that they have just killed. If a person doesn't know what to do with the animal after they have harvested it in order to make sure that the kill doesn't go to waste, shouldn't be hunting.

The format that these instructions should take on should come in at least two forms. One form

These instructions should be readily available to anybody who wishes to go hunting. Many hunters, myself included, learned from our fathers or an experienced hunter that showed him the proper way to take care of game after it has been killed. But not all hunters have knowledgeable people around them that truly know the correct way to go about this process, and this is why these instructions should be written.

After killing the deer, clean the animal in as short a time after you kill it as possible to avoid the animal spoiling. If you are in warm weather, 50 degrees or warmer, you will want to clean the deer within about 5 hours. If you are in temperatures ranging from 33F-around 50F, you will want to clean it within about 6-10 hours. If the temperatures are below freezing, a deer doesn't have to be cleaned for a full 24-hour period before the meat on the deer can start to spoil.

The most efficient and easiest way to clean a deer is to hang the deer either from a tree or some sort of sturdy structure (the tree or structure should be high enough that when hung, the deer's abdomen should be about the same height as you chest) with room to maneuver around the deer.
