I found these videos on Youtube and they go through one way of butchering a carcass..To those who haven't done this yet, it can be done with basic tools and minimal facilities, so give it ago!

Pete,

Book mark that page in your favourites mate. It will be handy to remind you how it's done next time you find yourself with a deer in the chiller.

I know how the memory goes at your age.

Funny, I still remember how to use the Moderators functions!

I posted about three replies before I noticed!!

Anyway, I'd better go to work.

That is a pic of the "Swedish chef" from the Muppet Show, right? In his early years prior to going graybearded.

Still it´s a good thing those mits are taped in place, wouldn´t want Kiri to throw his gloves of and so on.....

Pete it´s a good thing you are here to keep us in check.

Best regards to you all/Chris

Just remember the carcass always breaks down easier and better if its straight out of the chiller. It helps to give your finished product that professional look, rather than that hacked to bits look you so often see in recreational stalkers freezers.

Jacobs,

A very good point...Assuming that the carcass is going to be quartered first, its best to only have the quarter your working on out of the chiller as you work...Also it helps to turn the chiller down to 0C for a couple of hours before you start so the meat is nice and firm asyou suggest..

Cold meat also goes through things like mincers better too for the same reasons..

Regards,

Pete

Pete, thanks for the links... a friend took his first fallow yesterday, and rang to ask me to step him through the butchering process.. (no need to ask what my reply was... let's just say that my reply was polite but curt... ).

These clips are perfect.
