Here's an idea for all you DIY butchers.

Matt/TN · 11-28-2008, 08:16 PM

Aaron and I talked about this when we were cutting up my deer yesterday.

I think it would make an EXCELLENT sticky up at the top of the page if someone would go through the trouble of the butchering process with pictures. Explaining how to do certain things. We have how-to's for many archery related things and they come in handy. I know there has to be a lot of guys out there that doesn't butcher their own deer simply because they don't know how to do it correctly.

I just think it'd bea great tool if someone that butchers their own deer would go through the trouble to make a thread. I'm sure it would be referenced to a lot.

I've got two hanging in the shed now that my friend shot. He wants me to show him how to cut them up so maybe I'll put something together when we get around to it next week. Usually I bone them out in the field and load them in my pack but we shot these close to the beach and dragged them out to the boat just gutted.

It'd make an excellent sticky in the "After the Hunt"/Camp Cooking" forum, we already have too many here in Bowhunting.

Ask Ben PA, I can tear a deer down in a hurry.

Well, whatever forum it you choose, it'd just be an excellent tool.

I could care less where it's put, as long as it's somewhere where everyone knows.

Thats deffinately something I would like to see... Not so much the skinning, but the actual "butchering"

To be honest I had no idea, Matt did the hacking and I trimmed the fat... I really had not much of an idea of wha I was doing.

If I get another in then I'll do it. I cut meat for a living and I do asa sideline during the hunting season. Normally about 50 deer a yr.

I finished the deer up earlier today, I thought I never would get it done.

I was thinking the same thing that would be an excellant idea to post the process

There are tons of videos on the internet and pictures showing cuts, even field dressing a number of ways etc etc etc. This is just one online to start with. On the same page once it loads you'll find field dressing and butchering Part 2. We already have a page of stickys.We're getting too many. Use the internet if you're unsure. I think most everyone here that kills any deer knows how to do it.
