Default RE: butchering deer questions

You can also remove the backstraps, quarter the rest and put it in some coolers with ice. That way you'll have the time to do it without it spoiling. I did my first one of this seaon like that. The temps were in the 80's. I don't cover the quarters with the ice. Put some ice in first then put the meat in. It'll keep it coldlong enough for you to get the job done. I butchered mine for the first time this year since I couldn't afford to pay to have it processed. Here is diagram of the differnt cuts of meat. They can also be found on the internet doing a Google search. It was not as hard as I thought it would be. It only took a few hours and it was a huge doe. You can get a (cheap)butcher kit at Walmart for $20. Then if you want burger you can grind it yourself using 20% pork or beef fat. Or have a shop do it. It's fairly cheap. Hope this helps!
