archery hunting florida

When/where should I field dress a deer on a Florida WMA?

I will be hunting on a Florida WMA next month for Archery season, and it will be my first hunt so I am not sure of the “rules”. Is it ok to field dress and gut the deer where I kill it, or do i need to drag it out of the woods and clean/gut it somewhere else? I really don’t want to move the deer too much and risk damaging any meet from burst insides, but I don’t wanna do something “wrong” either.

The only time you have to worry about bursting insides is if the animal has been dead long enough to bloat
That should not happen in a hunting situation

It has been many years since I hunted here
But back then they wanted you to bring the complete animal in to the check in station
If you had to field dress they wanted you to bring in the gut pile

Above all else
Not that you would want to but it is illegal to remove any evidence of the sex of the animal
