It's great to hear so many of you saying that this was helpful. I'm glad that a bunch of new people are getting out in the woods. I think quite a few folks, myself included, who grew up shooting and hunting just don't think about what goes into your first few hunts emotionally and mentally. For us, it's a combination of exciting, relaxing, a chance to see family and friends, being able ro reconnect with ourselves and what makes us feel centered and grounded; an ability to feel closer to God and all he has given us. It's funny, we spend so much time preaching firearm safety, ethics, legalities, and shot placement we don't hardly cover field dressing, cleaning of the carcass. temperature control, transport, and butchery. Every person I've ever taught the basics to I've also more than likely gut their first deer for if they were hunting on my property. Doing that the first time alone MUST be stressful. Lastly, when you get the hang of this and make a competent shot oft times there will be even less blood than this in your deer. Good luck, and good hunting.

Very nicely demonstrated and professionally done. Wish all hunting videos I've seen were of this high quality. I've gutted numerous deer, but this video taught me more in 5 minutes than half of those experiences did. Thanks!

​@@mustafam956 the simplest and most crucial error: he constantly cuts into the meat with the knife. thats a big no go. the knife comes in contact with all manner of debris from the fur and if you cut poorly even the intestines. avoiding to cut into the muscle and contaminating the meat is therefore vital. you can see in his very first incision, how he leaves a huge gash in the meat. the way you actually do it: you pinch the skin an pull it towards you. then on the "lifted up" part, you make am incision perpendicular to the animal. now you have a gap in the skin. unless you use a special skinning knife, rest the tip of your index finger in the tip of the blade, so it can't puncture anything. now you can pull it down the carcass, opening the hide and depending on the bone thickness the ribcage without damaging the organs or the meat. its advisable to use a larger knife than he does here, as it gives you better control. I am actually shocked at how unprofessional he does it given his hunting expertise. if you want, google some German videos under "wild aufbrechen". in germany, it's taught very well on how to do it properly (so there should be some good videos on KZread). a good hunter here takes about 1-2 minutes opening up that buck in a clean way.

This video helped me dress my first deer. Great instructions and I figured out a few things on my own along the way. Thank you!

Making it look easy is the mark of a skilled craftsman, and you certainly make it look easy.

I have been hunting for 35 years. I have processed all but a few deer that have been shot at our camp. Those that I have not processed are when other hunters wanted me to guide them through the process. The reason that I process the deer myself is because I want to insure that the quality of meat is the best possible. This video comes very close to the process I use. Take your time dressing the animal and you will have better table fare.

Finally a video the actually shows the anatomy during the process. Love this man's show. Wish I could on a hunt with him. Talk about learning some great tips during a hunt.

A tips I got from an old buddy from Germany was to use anvil type pruning shears to cut the pelvic bone and rib age. Almost completely takes away any chance of hitting the intestine when cutting out the pelvic bone. On the rib cage you can clip up both sides of the sternum and toss is like the center cut of the pelvic bone. Gives you a ton more room to get the organs out. Just my little learned trick to streamline the process. In Germany they use a brand names Lowe. They’re about $60 to have imported. Here in the states you can get some Fiskars Power Level Anvil Pruners for $15 in the garden section at your local big box home improvement store. Thanks to Steve Rinella and the guys at Meateaters for all their great content.

It never ceases to amaze me how great you are at educating young and new hunters with these videos. I've been a hunter for 32 years and still found this very entertaining and helpful after dressing hundreds of animals. Hats off to you sir. Thank you for all you do for the conservation world!

Thanks for showing the process. Your level of expertese makes it look simple. I’m thinking about working at a processing shop during the season as part of culinary school. Hands on butchering skills like this can never be underestimate as a chef. Well done.

Just now at the ripe age of 35 REALLY getting into hunting. I did it as a kid but my dad always handled the dirty work. Of all the videos I've seen to dress a deer this one is by far the most strait forward and helpful. Thanks.

This is where I'm at. I always went with my dad when i was younger. Left my home state and haven't really hunted since. Moving back closer to my family after 7 years. Going to set out on my own (on dad's land of course) and learn how to do things myself. My dad dresses deer while it's hanging from a tree limb (pulley system). So I'll try both ways.

Attention vegans, on a cold morning when cutting into a deer stomach the steam will hit you in the face and that smell will confirm your veganism.

Hey vegans if your ancestors didn't hunt you wouldn't be here.

Watching this as a refresher as I get suited up to hit the woods in a few minutes!

It’s thanksgiving today, I’ll be up at dawn tomorrow morning to harvest my meat for the year. I give thanks to Steve and all of the meat eater crew for content like this that brings each and everyone of us closer to what we USED to be. Don’t leave this self behind. This self is Sustainable. This self is where I came from.

Autoplay was on and I'm reading something and suddenly just start hearing ''And then we've got the scrotum here... and here's the urethra'' totally didn't expect it to be this.

Beautiful weather, daytime, deer in a perfect location, amazing. Every time I do this it’s dark, in a swamp and usually so cold I can’t feel my hands 🤦‍♂️

Ha yeah we just butchered a mule deer crouching in ankle deep snow, on a hillside, in the dark with our headlamps on. After we got everything in game bags secured on our frame packs and stood up to leave, it began to rain. Long two miles back to the truck! But when we got the meat in coolers, took our showers and got in some clean clothes, boy was the beer good!

I watched this video before I harvested my first deer on a solo Arizona hunt. Then I watched it again in the field to get my deer ready for transport. Work perfect. Killer video!

Love everything about the work y'all do. Stars in the Sky got me back out in the woods after 15+ years.

I appreciate y'all putting this video together. I've been wanting to start hunting, but I don't come from a family of hunters so basic knowledge like this would have been gained by experience with plenty of mistakes thrown in, like the loss of the tenderloins, cutting downward and not up, or nicking the intestinal sack. Looking forward to my first hunt. Thanks a bunch.

I wish there were more seasons of Meat 🥩 Eater on Netflix.

Hey Steve, just wanted to thank you for this video and your show. I’ve recently gotten back into hunting and I just got my first deer tonight. Real nice Michigan whitetail. I was alone in the woods, but I knew what to do because of this video. Keep doing you, brother.

I just wrote a bunch of notes. Your instructions were straight forward and easy to understand. This gives me a lot of confidence in mastering this skill.

I watched this video over and over and successfully field dressed a deer on the 12th. Thank you so much!!

Steve, After field dressing a number of animals and scouting youtube to find out how others do this, I have found your video to be one of the most elegant and clear examples of this process. Thanks so much for your detailed description, and the high quality videography as well. Best, _Steve

I watched this before I started big game hunting. I have now used this method on six deer and one antelope. Thank you Steve! Appreciate the simple yet comprehensive way of explaining it.

So excited to get out for my first season. going totally solo, 0 experience out side of bird hunting. But I inherited my grandpas hand made 30-06 rifle. It's a thing of beauty and I am so excited to get to use it. It hasn't been used in ages but I took it to the range the other day and the scope is still absolutely spot on.

Great tutorial…. Dressing and cleaning has always been one of my favorite parts of the hunt experience. Thank for this

That deer needs a raise for that 10/10 demonstration

Never thought a multitool saw was so useful.

I’ve been field dressing white tails for over 50 years.. very good explanation and well done.. agree to always get the fillets out when gutting so they don’t dry out… great video

What a remarkable and efficient video. Thank you, Steve. Blessings, Grace and Peace 😊

Aaaaand here I am, using this video for step by step instruction for the second time. Thanks for everything you do, MeatEater!

Hahaha FYI I'm in Darien Lake State Park right now gutting my 1st Whitetail ever lol thanks Steve.. gotta love 2020 when I can in the middle of no where ask Google how to gut a deer and Steven's show pops up lol love it

I'm hunting deer for the first time tomorrow, by myself, having never field dressed a deer. Thank you for the video!!

You do make it look so easy Steven! Great job. Thanks for sharing,

Great video, thanks Steven! You calmly gave that deer the wooden nickel treatment in record time, and the fuzzy bum was clean as the whistle. Thanks again.

Man, I'm from Aussie land and I love venison. We've got deer here that are feral and this video is a great tool to help me clean my kill. Please people, if your going to kill it you must eat it and not waste it. Thanks father of heaven for our bounty.

Thanks for the refresher on the clean up process. I have cleaned out many deer and I still learned a thing or two from this video.

It’s been at least a decade since I learned how to do this. Thanks for the refresher course.

Thanks for all the great material and thanks for showcasing accurately what hunting is all about!

This is probably the best video I've seen for field dressing, thank you!

Dude this was awesome. Quick, easy and super informative. I definitely learned a few things. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for this step-by-step guide. Many times, content creators for KZread won't show this vital step for fear of being demonitized or get a strike on their channel.

Thanks for the video. Although I've watched it a few times already, it came in handy in the field when I dropped my first buck. 11 point Nova Scotian whitetail.

What a great video, calmly explained and each step understandable. Thank you so much.

Why is this so good and satisfying to watch it’s addicting

Am I the only one mesmerized by just how sharp his knife is??

Awesome that Steve is the top link when you search about gutting techniques. You're the man buddy keep on keepin on!

Thank you so much for this video! It was the only video I could find that is clear on how to properly field dress a horned/antlered animal. I'm going on my first elk hunt in 2 weeks and now i'm ready.

This is much more helpful than what my cousin told me to do couple weeks back when i got my first kill, didn't remove the heart, lungs, or windpipe, didn't have me break the diaphragm or cut out the anus. I literally cut a decent hole in the belly and told me to just started lifting guts out. Was completely messy, smelly, and all around a horrible experience for my first kill. Thank you for showing us how to efficiently and cleanly field dress. Definitely will do this next season
