Deer hunting season approaches

[Don Corleone]

Hi gang,
Well, now that I've moved home to New England again, I can actually get out and hunt a deer or two this Fall, fill up the Corleone larders and freezers with some venison. Not having been in a very long time, and having been young when I was out last time, I'm leery of trying to gut a deer by myself. Can anybody give me any tips for getting through the pubic bone without rupturing the colon and making a mess? Also, not being young, strong and foolish as I once was, I'm kinda nervous about having to take the deer out of the woods after I field dress it. Any thoughts on what a maximum distance I should plan to drag the thing will be?

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, how many folks out there have bagged a deer in the past year or two? Anyone?
