very informative read..thanks
Great instructions, one thing I didn't see (but may have overlooked) is putting quartered deer in a cooler, covering with ice and pulling the drain plug. Keep ice on the deer meat for 5-10 days, the ice will melt through the meat and out the drain. It also provides time for the amino acids to break down and let's the meat tenderize naturally. Enjoy!
Several years ago, a friend and decided to "process" a small doe I had killed.
Not having a clue as to what we were doing, we proceeded to "Butcher" it.
When all was said and done, we had packages labeled, strips and pieces, and, (my favorite) Chunks and Hunks.
Oh well, live and learn. ut:
