What is the first step in the proper field dressing of game?

  1. Cooling the carcass immediately

  2. Tagging the game

  3. Removing the entrails

  4. Washing the carcass

The correct answer is: Removing the entrails

Proper field dressing is essential when preparing game for consumption. While cooling the carcass and washing the carcass are important steps in the process, the first step is actually removing the entrails. This is because the entrails contain many microorganisms that can spoil the meat quickly if left inside the carcass. Tagging the game is also an important step, but it should be done after the entrails are removed to avoid contamination. Therefore, option C is the best first step in field dressing game.
