Wayne, we learned this from our fathers when hunted with them as young boys. That was the first thing you as a hunter needed to do when you get to the animal you shot. I always remove the intestines as well after slitting the two large arteries on both sides of the neck...when the blood drained sufficiently I open up the animal and remove the intestines since if you leave it and the animal is loaded on the vehicle , driving around while the animal is lying on the back of the vehicle in the sun it started to get bloated..the gasses spoils the meat...I do slit all domesticated animals I shot and slaughter as well..from a cow to a pig and the sheep receive the same treatment...
I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….
I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
