dealing with smell of gut shot

[fisher2]

how do y'all deal with the smell? i gutshot my first last year and i just about died trying to get it gutted. any tricks?

[Zag]

Its really easy actually....just breath thru your mouth.

[Kot2B]

Bring some Vaseline with you and put some in your nose before you start gutting.

[jr.deerslayer]

Don't shoot them in the guts....

[Chef]

Just quater it out and take out the back straps don't gut it

Please tell me your kidding?

[stillhunter]

You can try staying up wind. It's one of those things. You just gotta think happy thoughts.

[HuntOrBeHunted]

No disrespect.. Man up caption lol.

[Chef]

Zag, why would I be kidding if you take off the hind and front quarters and pull out the back straps you have salvaged a good portion of the meat. Also you got rid of any risk of eating anything contaminated from the guts. You also don't have to deal with the smell and mess of a gut shot deer. It's also perfectly legal..... So why dont you explain to me what your problem is with what I said!

[Zag]

No your right for some reason I was thinking just the front quarters.. my bad

WTH is Vaseline going to do for you? I think you mean Vicks Vaporub (sp).

The stink on your hands is pretty brutal too but gloves help with that.

[Larry]

just grin and bear it  

[fisher2]

i personally liked the quartering idea, but vaporub seems good too

[Chef]

Vapor rub helps a little, but what's the point of opening it up at all, not worth it. For what the tenderloins?

[PREDATE]

Just take a big whiff and get elbow deep. Maybe then you'll learn to pick your shots better.

[Elmo]

Have you smell my farts?  Gut shot deer ain't not-thang!

[ELMER J. FUDD]

I'd rather smell it than taste it so I breath through my nose. It seems you can taste a bad smell if you breath through your mouth. Maybe put my shirt over my face. I tend to spit a lot when something stanks too.

Same as putting cotton in your nose, glob of Vaseline in each nostril and no more breathing through your nose. I've done the Vicks treatment too. Damn tenant houses and old sewer systems.

Hunting and Vaseline = weird

I could just see myself; loading up each barrel with Vaseline then I get a runny nose while gutting the deer.  Dragging my arm across my nose to alleviate the annoyance.  I then stop at the 7/11 for a pack of Marlboro reds (except I don't smoke cigs) and the clerk is looking at me fishy with all this Vaseline up & down my arm and a funky odor following me from the guts............................uggh.

hahahahahaha ok, Vicks it is then. Better yet, go for the safer shot placement.

[sweet old bill]

Vicks in the nose,  a pair of rubber gloves, then wash out the body cavity with cold running water and you should be ok. I had one buck that was shot at last light and could not find till the next mid day, it took all to gut it due to it had been hot. But again it what you got to do, We had no loss of meat. But washing out the deer helped a lot, then we cut up the deer the same afternoon and that helped as well.

[AaronBlaine]

gut shots smell horrible.  For anyone who hasn't yet experienced the smell of a gut shot deer I can assure you that it is unbelievable how bad it smells.  I spend more time at the range in order to prevent any future problems lol

[AaronBlaine]

back in the marines we used to put cigs broken in half in each nostril and it works pretty good especially menthols
