I actually got uptight and stressed out watching this video. ONLY because I have always butchered my deer in the field, right after the kill, and packed out the meat. I have hunted my entire life, never taken a deer to a processor (now I see I probably should have....lol), and never realized how much good meat I left in the field!!!! ARGH........Great video and if I watch it again I'm sure it will be more therapeutic and relaxing.😁

@@lucasgarrett2107 In terms of quality not necessarily. Ask around about that part. However, “cheap” here in SW MO was 80-90 for small field dressed deer, and 120+ for large deer. Those were base prices about 13 years ago. That was the last time I used a processor. Now I have heard from friend’s they are higher today. You can take quarters in to be made into sausage and such cheaper, but the whole deer is pricey. Having said all that, I understand why prices are high it is a lot of work. I also prefer to know that all the meat I’m eating actually came from my deer. I suppose I have experienced unethical butchers that have tainted my experience. In the end I enjoy the processing part of it as well. If you can afford a butcher, and that’s your preference, go for it.

Excellent teaching! Really good job. My father was a butcher for a couple years early in life before he moved on to other work, so when us 4 boys got to deer hunting age, in our early 20s, we hunted deer with him. We’d often come home with 5 deer, so we processed the deer ourselves…and in much the same way you did here. We had a regular production line in my father’s super-clean garage. He had installed meat steel eyes in the rafters of his garage and had meat hooks to hang all those deer. He taught us 4 boys how to break down venison, cut chops, steaks, and showed me how to make boneless roasts. We ground our own meat and added 40% pork to our sausage. Good times; we learned a lot. I feel sorry for some of the guys who didn’t have fathers who could teach that. Keep up the good work! Great video!

But this is the most horrifying yet fascinating thing I've ever watched. My pacifist animal lover side found it very difficult to keep reminding myself through the hoisting and skinning that the painful part is already long over for her. Then my Cherokee and Scottish roots kicked in to contribute gratitude for this animal's contributions to the hunter's household, and gratitude to the butcher for doing such a great job in wasting next to nothing. If it must be done, this is certainly the way. Thank you for introducing me to a craft I probably never would've had the stomach to learn about in person.

Great job and video. I’ve processed my own deer for 45 years and consider it an enjoyable part of the whole hunting experience. This way you can use the cuts like you wish and you know exactly what you’ve got. I’ve done mine just like you show here. I don’t have a big enough height to pull the hide like you did so I skin it all out by hand. I would add to be sure you remove all blood shot meat as you don’t want that if you want good eating. Also how long do you recommend hanging a deer before processing? I usually let mine hang over night. My hunting buddy got me started processing my own deer. I told him I was afraid I’d mess it up. He said don’t worry about it, what ain’t on one piece will be on the next. Lol, not good advice but it got me started and it’s really not a hard thing to learn.

Never processed a deer but I've skinned many deer and the way you're doing it except for the winch and the anchor in the floor is the exact same way my father in law taught me and everyone else in the gang. He also made sure that we skinned it right away (it's much easier) and cleaned it well "after all you are going to eat it" he would say. We would keep that meat that was left on the skin. Now that he's passed, I've quit hunting but I might get back into next year and I intend to process the meat myself since I've got the space in the garage. 10' stainless steel counter with sink. I truly miss hunting with my father in law but I do know my son would be very happy if I got back into it! Great video, thanks for sharing.

I could never normally afford to buy a premium product (in the UK) like venison steak but my local supermarket had a reduced pack of 2 Scottish highland steaks for £1.40 and I jumped at the opportunity. Beef ribeye is my normal go to steak and I was dubious about it being dry and tough in comparison. After rubbing in oil and simply seasoning with salt and pepper it turned out equally if not more moist, succulent and delicious. It has left me so envious of you folks in the USA who hunt and consume this outstanding product as a matter of normal life.

If you can't hunt deer, then consider recovering road-kill deer. I retrieved two deer, one was hit by a car but still fresh and really undamaged, the other was killed by a coyote trapper in a snare, and it was in perfect condition. We do require a permit, but the police are glad to oblige.

Awesome video! Combine this video with Steve Rinella's 'how to field dress a deer' video and you will have all the knowledge you need to make great use of the game you harvest. Even if you don't plan to do the processing yourself this video is a great way to understand what's going on and how you can do your part to ensure a good end product.

It took a bit to get my eyes to focus again so I could get a shot off. Surprised my snoring didn't spook them!

And to watch these deer being processed in a garage, after laying on a concrete floor with no refrigeration and about a dozen other health code violations, it AMAZES me ....that more people don't get sick every year eating this venison.

@@LarrySmithOutdoors I agree that properly processed game is the key to not ruining the meat while processing it. But I was raised very strictly about only making head shots with firearms. Bow shots I make only to the heart/lung area. I do believe this too makes a difference in meat flavor as it gets little or no adrenaline. Was always told head shot to not waste any meat. Have tried it on white tails, but it destroys the broadheads I've used, and sometimes the arrow and or fletching.

Last time I did any gutting and skinning an animal was back in 1980 after a snowshoe hare hunt in Alaska when I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright in Fairbanks, AK. We got 21 of them in an hour and a half, by the time we got back to the enlisted quarters they were frozen stiff in the trunk of our squad leader's Nova. I am 64 now and have 10 acres of property in NC just off the Gamelands. I have quite a bit of deer on the property most of the time. I don't currently hunt, but if the situation got down to where we need meat on the table, I do have the means to harvest some. Your video has given me some ideas on a couple of telephone poles about 14' up from ground level with a cross pole with a large eye-bolt and a pulley system. The skinning and drawing you demonstrate is welcome as a refresher on proper cutting. Speaking of cutting, where can I get the knife you used in the beginning of the video? My 38 year old Buck 119 might work on some of a deer, but I would prefer the proper tool for the job. Thanks, Paul.

Also ran a deer processing business, had this one hunter brought in a huge 10pt that was shot to pieces, he emptied his 35 marlin in this deer which is 7 rounds! By the time i cut asay all the blood shot meat he only had about 35lbs of boneless meat. Then he wants to get highly pissed @ me like it was my fault! We butchers can only do so much with whatever hunters bring us. Thanks great video!

Forever when I shot my deer I would get it home as soon as I could to take the hide off to cool the meat faster. And hang it for about 3 or 4 days before I cut it up. A buddy of mine talked me in to leaving the hid on and hang it for 10 to 12 days in a temperature controlled conditions. It makes all the difference in the taste and tenderness. I will always use this method.

Do you get any moose to butcher? Excuse my ignorance. Typically to get a moose transported from woods to a butcher, it has to be quartered. Also receive 4 tags per license, one per quarter. I usually butcher a quarter or half myself, and pay a pro to do rest. Getting better but know I'm still making some cuts not ideal

I don't cut through the spine to avoid contamination, but it would make things much easier. 2) How much silver skin and fat is tolerable for grind? I think I spend way too much time cleaning up grind meat. Your backstraps look great, and your tenderloins are huge. Great work and thank you!

Really appreciate this video. New hunter here. Do most butchers understand they may be butchering a new hunters deer that was poorly field dressed? I don’t have anyone to teach me other than KZitem and some things don’t go exactly as they look like on screen. I definitely didn’t leave the hind area like that, I indeed took all that stuff out (reproductive area) but I definitely in no way took time to hose it out or anything. Will the butchers know whether to serve me good stuff or safe stuff or both? Do they take the time to hose out ? Rambling on here so many questions. Lol
