You are absolutely right, Bev.  I hadn't really thought about it, but with 
squireels, rabbits, and such we would kill, clean (skin, gut), and then put 
in the refrigerator for Mama.

For deer, I think ,after killing, gutting, skinning, we just quartered; and 
then took the rest to Mama.   ....bobford

That was even more true, I'm sure, when you were a kid.
