Butchering Deer Today How do you do yours

Lol, it is hung upside down, but that shouldn't hurt the meat. Here in Ab. Your Deer is hung right. I always hang mine wrong side up according to them.

I use a bone saw and cut a deer lengthwise down the spine then 1/4 them by cutting between the 3rd and 4th rib. I find it easier to then lay the quarters on a table and go from there. I cut steaks and chops then stew meat. Cut the back sections off leaving the spine, Curt the ribs a couple inches from the spine then cut into steaks using a meat saw. This is where your porterhouse and t-ones come from. After doing a couple deer it won't take long.

Do you use a hand saw or a band saw?

I quit using a saw years ago .to bony grit..much easier to just bine it out

Thanks for all the feedback guy we butchered it into steaks roasts and the rest ground. Got 31lbs from 101lbs not gutted. I will be trying the meat loaf recipe and thanks to all that posted great info...I figured it was upside down but the guy helping us clean it did it that way. Heres the take:

I bottle most of my meat. I remove all choice cuts. Then cut remaining meat into chunks small enough to fit into bottle. The result is meat that cooks in its own juices. It falls apart on the fork. Also doesn't use up all my freezer space and, of course, no freezer burn

The process is known as canning. It's essentially the same process you'd use for pickling or preserving. For meat, you'll want to use a pressure canner.

if you want to save a few bucks on a grinder buy a good hand grinder. take the handle off thread on a nut and hook it up to a power drill and you'll have one of the best grinders you've ever seen
