The smell has never really bothered me, but i have a buddy that doesn't do well.  I always wonder if a surgeon smells that every time he opens up a person.

If you ever figure out how to get past the smell of a gutted deer, you go ahead & let us all know! ;D
Its part of hunting. we all deal with it in one way or another.
I just spray down a old shirt with calogne or air freshener & wrap it around my face.
I still gag every time.

Both my boys got "blooded" when they killed their first deer.  The way I did it was to hold their head real close to the newly opened cavity, scoop out a handfull of blood, etc. from it, with my left hand as my right was busy keeping the kid in a headlock, and smearing their faces with the blood, etc.  Some went up their noses and in their mouth but they both came up smiling!   :D  Neither one have ever complained about the "smell."

But one of my hunting buddies, the one on the right in the picture of the 3 of us this year, gags every time he guts a deer.   :-\

I gutted on this past Wednesday and really didn't think it had much smell at all!

Boy this brings me back to when my much older than me brother thought he'd be a tough hunter
and hang out with me. ;) I had just killed a deer {I was 16} and he {26} I guess he admired me for hunting and taking after my grandfather {no one else did}, but anyway....he had run right over to me as I just shot my deer, a big healthy doe. I said do you wanna do the honors he says no..I wanna watch and learn !
As I slit the lining the steam rolled up and under our noses ...he stands up and runs 10 ft and starts puking!!
I laughed sooooo hard tears were in my eyes and I could'nt stop laughing it was the longest time it took me to gut a deer about 45min. of just laughing... needless to say he never got into hunting afterwards thats a shame but atleast he gave me a good laugh and a memory of our first and last time hunting together. :D
It"s a smell you just deal with... it"s not a forever smell thank god for that ....the sooner you get the guts out & out of the way the sooner the smell goes away. ;)

It doesn't matter if you get over the smell as long as you get the job done.
