Caberslash is your man for such detail.Yup - it had obviously been couched for some time (the poo pipe was similarly rather full) but I did get it to stand to the shot. Any advice on how to get it to pee too.........................

Suspended Gralloch... WHY?!

You can slowly work the bladder out through the back passage once it has been cored out and removed with the rest of the gralloch.
In an extreme case I would remove the bladder from the inside instead of working it out through the back passage.
I'm sure there are many time consuming and ineffective methods than SD can enlighten me with.
How about sliding a peice of tarpaulin the length of the beast behind the bladder and and then puncturing it?
Just make sure your feet are out of the way!

Or use the traditional straw and needle method?
Poke hole carefully in bladder and insert straw. Suck contents of bladder out. Can bit spat out or swallowed (down to personal preference)

Agree, easy to do and still keep the animal clean.View attachment 221906
A thread that might get me suspended
I have yet to hear a convincing argument for doing a suspended gralloch on deer (so don't bring up boar please).
I've gralloched deer from under 10kg to over 100kg and never felt the need to carry a block and tackle along withgandrelgambrel (thanks @takbok) around... maybe some like having play with a portable dungeon?!
As far as I can tell, gralloching on the ground is quick, clean and efficient. No tree or vehicle required!

Actually the deer urine in the bladder is quite sterile, so I will hold and squeeze the full bladder bag, get a good head of pressure up, then jab a wee hole in it with the tip of my gralloch knife, and hose out any poop dottles and bloody grot that are left in the body cavity. Done right you can almost achieve jet washer pressure. Good for washing hands off too. This obviously only works on suspended grallochs. Picked up these tricks from my Best Practice Guide
I think quite enough fluid has already been extracted from bladders all through this thread.Mike
don’t suppose you could find the time to do the SD brethren a video of such a delicate manoeuvre, place the pipe in and said fluid extraction could yield a big following even more than the suspended gralloch thread,
10 pages and yet no further forward than "it depends" or "this is how I do it".

Having read all the articles in this thread, I have come to understand that (thus far) I am the most fortunate stalker ever. All my quarry are all Sika, some quite portly, but not as big as either Fallow or Red deer, whenever I get a beast, the landowner comes and collects it in the bucket of his backhoe/loader, then down to his yard. He drops the bucket, attaches the two spikes (for lifting silage and baled straw etc.,) while I'm hocking the beast and inserting the gambrel from the boot of my car. Thereafter the gambrel is attached to one of the spikes and the animal is suspended at various heights to facilitate my gralloching it. All of the pluck is properly disposed of ( I keep and use the liver and the heart). Once finished the carcass is dropped into a plaster's bath, deposited in the boot of my car ready for the journey home. It appears that I'm utterly spoiled. Interesting to hear the different opinions and preferences aired. At some point I'll have to do a gralloch on the ground (which I have done on pig and goat previously) I'm certain I'll learn a great deal from the experience. Wishing you all every success no matter your preference!

I was going to ask if the land owner mopped your brow but I can’t see anywhere in that you would work up a bead of sweat

The Gold Standard and that should not be beyond wit and pocket of Forestry & Land Scotland in providing their Wildlife Rangers with a mechanism for on-the-hill suspended gralloch.
