Butchering a WHOLE DEER with STONE KNIVES

Breaking down an entire whitetail deer using handmade, stone knives. Thanks to my good friend Dave for a really cool idea. I was surprised how well these knives worked!

Dang! I thought your KZbin name was Catman. Turns out it might be Caveman! LOL! Good stuff.

[@danschoemann2305]

Stone knives aside, this is a great video to show young hunters, and those new to hunting. A true hunter needs to learn, and enjoy, the cleaning and processing of deer. It adds to the whole experience, and memory. The practice, the anticipation, the hunt, the kill, the rewards. Great tasting venison, and great memories are the rewards.

[@DrewEdwardBacklas]

This is the first I have seen anyone do this. Pretty impressed with how well the knives worked.

[@neilrodgerson9863]

One of your best educational segments yet, congrats on the deer.🦌💥🥩🍔

[@gsquared2394]

My favorite part of the skinning, quartering and butchering process is cutting out the backstraps. Least favorite is cutting out the rear-quarters

[@cryptidoutlaw8707]

I see a lot of videos making these stones knives but not many using them. I am now interested in giving stone arrow heads for my long bow a try. Thanks for the video. Alot sharper than I was thinking they would be.

[@1972davidt]

You know this video ranks right up there with the one where you were catching worms with walnut hulls! That was really amazing work! Your buddy makes some sharp knives!

[@robertrice1860]

Yea that was very cool,my grandpa showed me that trick when I was but a boy. Its really neat to see same style and upbringing from two different parts of country.Ohio!!!

[@rebelnation9479]

Wow!!! That's awesome!! I've got a couple of those flint knives in a glass box that my Granddad gave me a while back before his passing.. His best friend was into making knives and he had also made a few small hatchet's just for skinning out and butcher'n deer and they were some of the sharpest tools I've used and absolutely perfect to process the deer!! The part where you was cutting or sawing through the backbone, you didn't have to apply pressure to cut through it,,, it just cut right on through!! Thank you for sharing this video!!!

[@justicefall1917]

Now that was awesome!!! I enjoyed that very much!!!!

[@labtrainer09]

Absolutely fascinating--and really impressive. Congratulations and thanks to Dave for allowing you to test his beautiful handiwork. I hope you two can collaborate on more projects in the future. Best, Chris

“Basically like glass “….”it is glass” 😂😂

[@mattd8411]

That's pretty awesome id like to order a knife like that.

[@roymcdavid1015]

Pretty damn cool. I have thought about how they did it back in the day and nice to actually see how well it really does.

[@TheK2008]

Nice quick video! Love the bush lattes

[@strydershadow391]

That was very cool. Really impressed with how easily they cut and remained sharp. There is a lot of the black glass out west here from the volcanoes.

[@ericallred8446]

Impressive! But I was disappointed when you didn’t keep the shanks

[@paulwylie989]

Impressive CM! Thanks

[@wdaniel9]

Well done! Those tools are excellent and so is the video!

[@californiaoutdoors8021]

Where do the serration edges go when they are dulled by bone? Seems logical that they would flake off into the meat...

[@RoadLifePursuits]

I was wondering the same thing...now there is stone in the meat?

[@californiaoutdoors8021]

Worse than stone in the meat. It's glass in the meat.

[@johnr6179]

This was a good idea for a great video. I've made stone tools long ago but never cut up anything with one. I also want to thank you for what you said about the ethics of behind-the-shoulder shots vs neck or head shots. I don't care how good of a shot you are, you are shooting at a live animal that can move at the last split second of the shot. We need the margin of error of the biggest vital target. Thanks for producing "real" content, not enough of that out there.

[@michaelhaworth8317]

Really cool!!

[@ronwilson3414]

Great video.

[@davidpyles8270]

HuntPrimitive does this also pretty cool. If you will skin the back legs down to the knee before you hang it you won’t have to worry about getting hair on the leg meat

[@outdoor_tommy07]

Cool video!

[@michaelcolburn829]

That is really awesome. Thanks 👍

[@rodneywroten2994]

that is so cool with stone knives

[@michaelwhiteside1011]

Love the knives. I hunt deer and arrow heads, I also flintknap my own knives

[@jerryscray1789]

Them knives are badass cool

[@stevenwalker9013]

I got into knapping about a year ago. Haven’t gotten my hands on any obsedian yet to try. You would be amazed at how sharp flint will get!! It’s a very interesting hobby. Love looking for artifacts also. That led to wanting to make them like the natives. I’m from around dale hollow and that flint knife looks a lot like the flint we have. That color and a darker blue flint. Cool video

one of your better videos! ryan gill would be proud of you.

[@CJSoutdoors]

How funny I just watched your other butchering video from a year or two ago can't remember and I said u should make another butchering video lol

[@fredsalay720]

Really cool with stone knives. Just one thing for me, I would sharpen the knife over a trashcan away from any meat. Just a observation 🤠

[@ForgetU]

Holding that flake, my old hand would be cramping up.

That's very cool! Hello from Ohio. I really like your style of hunting,if ya wanna come and hunt late muzzleloader in Jan hit me up!!!!! Thanks Robert

[@lisamcqueen8509]

Nice work, Dave! Do you sell your points, blades? Thanks for sharing Catman! Good shootin, Steve

[@NYCamper62]

If I had one of those knives I'm sure it would wind up on the wall as a sweet collectable. Regardless, this was a neat video. Cheers!

[@williamwilliams7706]

Nice first time I've seen this. I heard these are sharper than a steel blade but more fragile. I have a nice hand knapped knife but I'm not sure I want to try that. BTW Scammers found your channel, I think your followers are too smart to fall for that crud.

[@1ststater611]

What y'all do with the hide?

[@GenesisXTRM]

Rockstar games needs to watch this video for the jawbone knife in RDO, FLINT KNIVES CAN SKIN ANIMALS!!!

[@southernslipping4225]

Hanging for 4 days seem like meat would spoil

[@brandonritchey484]

Not if its under 40 degrees..i let mine hang for 3 fsys if its cold enough..but i skin mine first

[@danschoemann2305]

Aging meat is a ritual, especially with older deer. 3-4 days under 40 degrees allows the meat fibers to relax and tenderize. In the upper north, we need to skin and quarter, and get meat in coolers so it doesn’t freeze so hard you can’t cut it.

[@kadenhoff6814]

Hey cut the lower leg off because there is meat in the up leg

[@coreyhallman3134]

Lot of meat left on them front legs lower

[@southernslipping4225]

A lot of muscle

Quick note..i commented on a comment little bit ago..got a comment back like thank you text this number crap..i know its not you..just wanted you know..

[@michaelhaworth8317]

Just got a reply on the comment that I left on this video. Telling me to text a certain number to receive my gift. Pretty sure this is a scam and I wanted you to know.

[@CrowSpirit1977]

That's such a bad idea.. One little chip lost in the meat could be extremely hazardous to your health. That's why all the cave men are dead.

[@thadhenley6559]

Great video
