Guest Andrea Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Who cleans your deer? Who packages it? And who cooks it? I've tried cleaning.......can't do it. I've been accused of being too slow and getting the deer hair everywhere........lol. But I do help grind it and package it and do most of the cooking.

wtnhunt Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 When it comes to the skinning and quartering I do most of it. Catrina has gutted one I think pretty much on her own with very little help. She wants to do it all herself this year, and I will let her. Think she has watched me do enough to know what she needs to do. The kitchen work we try to work on together. Longest part of the process is always the deboning and trimming, we really need a deeper sink. Grinding goes pretty quick. Packaging usually also goes pretty quick.

Deb Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Usually, I do my own, unless it's too hot for me get it done before it goes bad, then I'll take it to a butcher. I plan on fixing that problem soon. Going to wall-in my hoist and make it a mini meat locker by putting a small ac unit in the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 My Dad likes to call himself "The Official Deer Gutter" So why should I take that away from him? I help to gut them, but have never done one totally by myself. I've watched and asked enough questions that I think I could do it though. I'm right there to skin it, cut it up, package it and also cook it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest outdoorgirl Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I gut the deer and bring it to the butcher it's much easier....I do all t he cooking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 It depends but more often than not I clean it out in the woods, Andy and I drag it to the car, we skin it and clean it up at home and hang it, then usually it's Andy, myself, mom, sometimes my sister when we butcher it. Mom usually wraps, And and I cut alot, my sister will help with grinding. It's hard when you have like 3 hanging at once and have to butcher than all like 1 day apart..I burn out fast on butchering,lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what we call "family time":eek:. Nothing like gutting a deer to bring you closer to the one you love. If I get a deer this year i want to do the field dressing part myself. I'll let you know how that goes....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlGirl Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Me & hubby field dress, skin and quarter together. I usually haul to processor. Depends on how we're cooking it if I cook or him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CSRoth Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I have only harvested one deer, which was to heavy for me to drag by myself. Todd did the honors of dragging and gutting it for me, they say next deer it's my turn though, LOL... Hope I can do it! -Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Me, me, me. I don't trust my deer to anyone else. From the bullet, to the gut pile, to the freezer, to the fry pan, to the table is all me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreheads Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I learned to gut a deer at a young age and had a great teacher...my dad. It's generally not too bad...but gut-shot deer can be a struggle. I worked at an outfitter so I gutted a lot of deer there, then ran a deer processing plant so I butchered hundreds of deer each season. Needless to say...I gut, cut up and cook my deer, Jesse's deer, and deer belonging to anyone else who needs help in the neighborhood. Make sure you take your deer to an established/reputable processor. There have been cases of large places kind of throwing all of the meat together and making burger, sausage, etc. and there is the possibility of getting someone else's deer. After seeing the way some people care for the game after the harvest, this is a horrifying thought. Hope you all have a wonderful season and get the opportunity to gut plenty of deer!

Shaun_300 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 One of my uncles usually gut my deer, I've yet to do one myself. Not too big on the gutting... I do skin though, sometimes my uncles will butcher and sometimes it gets taken to a butcher to cut up. I do the cooking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless, Ginger Sure is, and is all the more reason to do your own if it is at all possible that you can. Last year for me was the nail in the coffin to not letting anyone ever touch one of my deer ever again no matter what the situation, and all they were doing was skinning and quartering the ml buck my wife killed on the opening evening of our season. I had killed one the same day, it was very warm and it was our youngest daughters birthday. When the wife picked up the quartered portions they were covered in hair and in tubs. The tubs the meat were in were not exactly my idea of clean. Spent a lot of extra time cleaning that meat. The kicker is the wife went to high school with the guy who runs the place and he is supposed to do a pretty good job with processing. Would also agree about the part that it is nice knowing you are getting back what you are supposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHISKEYSWAMP Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I butcher most of my deer... I take some of the boned out meat to the processor for summer sausage and pepper sticks though... a place down the road makes the best jalapeno and cheese summer sausage. Other than that I cook most my venison, can't remember anyone complaining about my steaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
