They cut the throat to get the jugular(spelling) out. They say its easier to get it out that way. I haven't put cameras on my land all year. We've been hunting that buck for 2 years though.
sorry hun, but theres no reason to get the jugular out. the Jugular is a vein just like any other large vein in the deers body. If the deer is gutted than blood pooling in the vein(s) is near to none.
Its an old tradition that really serves no purpose unless you dont gut the deer.
