Best Deer Butchering Book?
 

I'm looking for some advise on Butchering books. I have seen some online and 2 in the book store, but thoughtit would best to ask for recommendations. I've hunted for years and have had it easy enough to just drop off the dressed deer at a butcher. For various reasons, I'd like to try it myself on the next one. Thanks.

Thanks! Though I have been living in NC for the last many years, 80% of all my hunting has been in NJ. I enjoyed your site. Thanks!

I bought two books from amazon and thought they were good and that I wuold have a good idea of what I was doing. But when I started I found that I had to keep looking at different pages and then nothing looked the same as it did in the book.

My best reccommendation is to rent a video from your library and watch it. I found two of them that were very good. It made it 100 times easier to understand.

After I watched them I found that butchering my own meat was not only better, but cheaper and sort of relaxing to do.

I think that the butchers take part of the loins when they do them for you.
