RE: Do you Butcher your own Meat
 

Sure do, I started doing my own last season and butchered the 2 I killed this season so far! I'll have it no other way!!!!!!

RE: Do you Butcher your own Meat
 

Sure do. I like to do my cuts a little different than most butchers. I also like to clean my burger much better than a butcher will before I grind it. That way it will be good for what ever i want to cook with it. Ive actually got to butcher a buck tonight. I shot a buck last weekend and have had it quartered and ageing in a make shift fridge. So to night ive got to cut it up.

PT! I just saw this. You have no idea how glad I am to hear someone else say that. I worked my keister off trying to get all that slimey stuff off on the first few deerI processed. Then I finally tried leaving it, and noticed absolutely no difference in taste what-so-ever.

RE: Butchering Meat ___Redo
 

Right now I take mine to a processor, they are a real small town butcher, the kind of small town where everyone knows everyone else and they do a fantastic job, had my doe back a week to the day from when I shot her and they do good work...that being said, I want to learn to butcher myself just to save money...does anyone have any good tips or help on learning this, what gets me is the special cuts, I'm sure I'll learn with time. Just need help getting started.

I agree, but I still try to take most of it off because it goops up my grinder. I do clean all the fat I can. Fat has lots of gamey taste to it.

I just finished one last night, Burnie.;)

RE: Do you Butcher your own Meat
 

Shoot, I should have sent mine to you. I was going to do it last night, except I had to drive two hours to get the wife a new washer and dryer. Id much rather butchered the deer.:D

RE: Butchering Meat ___Redo
 

Well, you're right there. It does "goop" up the grinder, but I'll take the few minutes "un-gooping" the grinder over the extra hour ormore trimming.(Those are some cool sounding words:D) I take off as much fat as I can also. As far asthe "gamey" taste goes, though,I happen tolike it to an extent.;)

RE: Do you Butcher your own Meat
 

I butcher my own. It saves money and I know I do a better job cleaning my meat then some of the meat I've seen at butcher shops sitting in their vats waiting to be ground.[:'(]

I have done both, but processed all of mine so far this year.
