It may sound gross to a lot of city-folk, but you open them for field 
dressing and split the hips with an axe, chain saw off the hoofs at the 
ankle and use a winch line over a tree branch to lift them by the head and 
they become self draining so to speak.  You cut off anything that is still 
attaching the innards, reclaim the liver and heart and you are in business. 
It is better if you do it within the first hour, but this becomes stew meat 
to go with the beans anyway.
