The process is basically the same no matter whether your tablefare came from a commercial meat packing plant or from the forest floor.

Shoot, confirm its dead
Enviserate it, remove it from said forest floor
typically this involves either dragging or carrying...depending on distance and size of beast (bigger animals may have to be cut into smaller pieces or quartered)
remove hide, legs to the knees, head and all non edible parts
wash all remaining blood and hair from carcass
hang if you desire in a cool place
cut and wrap meat in portions appropriate for consumption
freeze
thaw
cook
eat
