How to butcher a Deer. 156lb Red Deer. How to butcher a Red Deer Masterclass

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Wanted to tick this one of my list for a long time now. A Red Deer, weighing 156lbs. Because of its sheer size, it gave me a chance to try some different cuts you would not normally get on a smaller species. As you can imagine, there was a lot of meat and sausages and this is the entire process. Enjoy....

    Great video as usual! I like to keep the shins (shanks) and neck whole for long slow braising in a dutch oven or a crock pot. All the tendons and sinew cook down over time and create a luscious sauce with the tender meat. Makes it easier at processing time as well since you don't have to debone for the mince pile.

    Great video, as always. Scott, how did you make the first cut - down the middle? Angle grinder - or hand saw? Serious question, as it must be difficult to cut when it's hanging like that (I imagine). I've not yet cut up anything larger than a side of pork, about 40kg. But I'm looking to do more, so really interested in the practicalities....

    Interesting to see the difference in field dressing practices between cultures. Here in Nebraska (USA), we split the aitch bone in the field for bung removal. Most also split the ribcage (I carry a folding tree trimming saw just for this) and unless caping for a mount, split the throat up to the jawline for windpipe removal. . Experienced hunters hang from the head so heat from the haunches can escape and wedge a tree branch in the chest cavity to facilitate air movement. Also the head & hooves are not removed when brought to the butcher shop. Why do you guys do it the way you do? Be interesting to hear.......
