Butchering deer for beginners #shorts



#hunting #meat #venison #butchering #howto

I wish someone would’ve told me these three things before I butchered my first deer— Number one: have a plan to cool down the meat before the deer hits the ground. Heat is what spoils meat so the clock is ticking to get the hide off and get the meat cooled down and having a plan will make it less stressful. Number two: Focus on what you actually like to eat. If you never cook roasts, don’t keep a bunch of roasts. Turn that into grind meat for jerky, or sausage or whatever fits your style in the kitchen. And number three: You don’t have to do it all in one sitting. I used to push through the whole deer in one go, but it’s a lot more enjoyable if you break it up. So long as the meat is cool, you don’t need to rush.

  1. I always get my meat cut into roasts from the butcher so I can cut them into steaks later if I want steaks or I can just cook them as a roast, or just slice them into strips for jerky. I just do roasts so I dont have to waste the butchers time lol

  2. Quarter it up and in to a cooler full of ice. Minimum of 5 days. Keep ice on it and drain the melt water/blood off. Prepare it as needed. Grind it all for all anyone cares. Do you

  3. You know what
    I have to comment here
    First. Your a absolute bad ass for doing this yourself
    Much respect for that
    Second

    I am a meat cutter it’s a dying art.
    Your video is inspiring and helpful to others.

    Good job keep up the good work

  4. Number four cut a little slit or a couple depending on how big the deer is take an air compressor. Insert the nozzle blow it up. Don’t let it explode but blow it up just enough so the skin is separated from the meat for an easy peel off.

  5. That's why you keep it as roasts and cut steak and grind and stew till you need it. Less space and keeps longer

  6. Hang 5-10 days and spray w Coke Cola dailey, keeps the pelical moist for better grinding and coke disolves the membranes and connective tissues makes whole deer way more tender less gamey flavor. And be sure to remove the lymph nodes on the hill if possible but ASAP. And bleed out before gutting, head on the downhill cut throat and pump the chest for ten min. Makes cleaning Much cleaner.

  7. Why is a woman telling people how to do anything? Butchering a deer takes 18 minutes, as long as your wife isn't begging you for a beating.
