field dress
Clean a kill
Field dress is to prepare a killed animal for transport by removing its internal organs, typically done in the field shortly after the kill to prevent spoilage and reduce weight.
Hunters field dress deer, elk, and other game before carrying them out: We field dressed the buck within an hour of the shot.
The noun field dressing refers to either this process or the basic wound bandage applied in combat situations.
