No not at all on the hack job. I'm talking the hind qtr de-boned and in one piece ready to be stuffed with sausage and tied shut. Back loins are smooth cuts. I'd put him up against any butcher. I do try, but I'm not that clean.
Having done many deer myself I am 99% positive he is carving it up something fierce. No way anyone debones 2 hind quarters and gets backstraps out clean and back to the truck in 15 min.........no way. It would take you longer then that to skin it in the field on the ground.
Either he is a hack or your watch is slow.
I like many people quit messing with the shoulders. Shoulders and necks have too many tendons for the meat you get out of them.
What the hell does that even mean?? Messing with??.....You know how much meat is in the front shoulders and neck?? I sure hope you don't really think that is what "many people" do with a deer once it is down.
If processing the deer is too much work for you..........DON'T SHOOT IT........let it walk to someone who has respect for it.
If you want more meat just shoot another deer.
I don't even know what to say to a comment like that.
I agree if you have to go far from woods to garage but if you can do it in under 30 mins, do you loose that much time?
How exactly are you and your buddy doing these "butcher" jobs in the field??
I don't know where you are from man but in NY you have to have a tag on your deer when you hit the truck.........you come out with a bag of meat and you are in big trouble. There is no way to tell the deer's sex first of all.
Your words would turn my stomach a little less if I didn't get the impression that this kind of stuff is common practice among all the guys you know.
