What is the first step in the process of properly field dressing a deer?

  1. Removing the entrails

  2. Tagging the deer

  3. Cutting the throat

  4. Checking for ticks

The correct answer is: Removing the entrails

The first step in properly field dressing a deer involves removing the entrails. This action is essential to preserve the meat and prevent spoilage, especially in warm weather. While tagging the deer is important for legal and tracking purposes, it occurs after the deer has been harvested. Cutting the throat is not involved in field dressing and is not a safe or necessary step in this process. Checking for ticks can also be a part of post-harvest care, but it does not pertain to the field dressing itself. Therefore, the proper sequence starts with removing the entrails to prepare the deer for transportation and processing efficiently.
