Deer butchering info?

[BLACKJACK]

Anybody know a HSOforum that shows how how to cut up a deer once you have it gutted and skinned? Would like to know where the different cuts - steaks, roasts, etc. come from rather than just hacking at slabs of meat. You that old saying, a picture is worth a thousand words!!

Thanks

Do a search for "venison from the field to the table" The pictures are a bit grainy but it's easy to follow.

There are also plenty of books on the subject. May want to check the local library.

The "Deerhunters Almanac" usually has one of those charts as well as piles of useful info about deer processing.

You can also go out to Amazon.com or BN.com and search for butchering deer. I found about 10 books on it at Amazon.

I got a book from my wife a few years ago that has instructions for butchering deer, field dressing waterfowl, squirrels, rabbit, pheasant and even fish. It also has a bunch of recepies in it. Really cool book but for the life of me I don't remember the title.

I would go to Barnes and Noble and look at all the books before you buy to make sure they have what you are looking for in them.

There are several good videos available also.
I would look for one that shows you how to bone out the carcass (no meat saw needed).
You'll find that eliminating the bone and trimming the fat will produce much better tasting venison.
I have a friend that produced a good video that I could recommend via email if you're interested. Most videos will run $20-30.
