Fallow Deer Stalk, Butchery & Hide Preparation

#deerstalking #fieldtofork #butchery
I'm out for a cull day as part of a Fallow, Red and Muntjac Deer management plan on an estate in the South East of England, this was handled and organised by Steve from ‪@southayrshirestalking‬ and having just completed my DSC1 earlier in the year it was a great opportunity to put my hard work into practice & fill the freezer at the same time.
I take you through the day from my perspective in the high seat with Steve, the work back to at the larder and beyond into my home where I skin, butcher and package all of the meat before hanging the hide, ready for the next stage tanning which will be my next video.

I love the fact that these skills are being taught and shared. Really great work, thanks for sharing. Fair few dinners will be had off that beast. Nice touch on the respect also. 😊👊🔥

This couldn't arrive in better timing im sat here with my son learning about deer hunting from feild to pan soo glad you add this side to your life to the channel and the detail you go to its been great to listen and see the journey through your license and into the different seasons mate 🦌🥾🤘

[@PrimalNomad]

That's brilliant to hear that you're going through that process and teaching him the importance of wild meats! Thanks so much for watching :)

[@RoughTimba]

[@j.radventures6654]

Bro great hunting what shot amazing video

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks! It was a great day out to fill the freezer 🔥

[@4958stanton]

this is so sick mate, mega vid

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks mate! Really glad you enjoyed it

[@owbyoutdoors]

So awesome to see the process from start to finish! Insanely jealous of that hide as well, looks a beauty! Why do you put grass in it's mouth after the kill? Does that help preserve or is it a more spiritual meaning perhaps? Keep doing what your doing mate!

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks Owby! I'm so glad that you enjoyed seeing it all, it's a skill I've been so interested in sharing and it's good to see it's being recieved well. The grass is Letzter Bissen or Last Bite - it's a spiritual/traditional way to pay respects to the prey we hunt. It's actually a Germanic tradition but something I feel is extremely respectful.

[@Drabbers-in2-the-Bush]

Cool video, Liam jealous of the hide it's a beaut will be nice and warm on the cold camp outs. And all that good meat knowing exactly where it comes from will be nice whatever way you cook it

[@owbyoutdoors]

@@PrimalNomad that’s really interesting! I think you should talk more on that as I think most people would be interested to know more :)

[@PrimalNomad]

@@Drabbers-in2-the-Bush Thanks mate - it's definitely going to be a great hide for my trips this year. can't wait to share some venison with you!

[@PrimalNomad]

@@owbyoutdoors Great idea Owby! Thanks :)

[@JasonColeMBCSMIET]

Good skills with the breakdown of venison and good prep work with silvers and top sides but a good boned and rolled leg or a just boned shoulder as a joint taste good to. But please get a good set of blades. The fillet and sliver or top taste so good when fresh as a whole join. What did you do with the saddle, or chops. Am also a butcher as a trade.

[@PrimalNomad]

Thanks so much! I'll have to give that a try, I'll definitely invest in some better knives too, do you have any suggestions? 🔥

[@JasonColeMBCSMIET]

@@PrimalNomad British blades or steels

[@JasonColeMBCSMIET]

@@PrimalNomad hello also a crown roast or a guard of honour roast for the chops or chumps ends

[@TouchéandDumDum]

Hello primal, interesting video, what are the deers doing or causing mass damage to that they have to be managed ?

[@PrimalNomad]

Yes they have to be managed to avoid significant crop damage and also habitat destruction/over crowding on the estate. Thanks for watching! :)

[@timjones8617]

Hi is their any introduction to hunting kind of courses here in the uk that you know off I’d be interested to try before I fully commit to trying to get involved Great video thank you

[@PrimalNomad]

Hi Tim! Thanks so much for watching, drop me a message on instagram @primal_nomad and I'll make sure to point you in the right direction. I'm very passionate about helping new people get into the scene!

[@keeperofthegood]

I've got a lot of beef kidney in my freezer, it's low cost protein here. I have tried other kidneys and don't half mind lamb. Of the off the shelf, how does the deer compare? Mild like lamb or stronger like beef?

[@PrimalNomad]

Probably more akin to beef as its a stronger game flavour. It's been a while since I had kidney and am looking forward to trying these fallow ones 🙏

[@keeperofthegood]

@@PrimalNomad Thank you for the description. I would enjoy to see how you do them up!! My own go-to is Indian/Pakistani style Biryani, easy to mix, easy to pre-weigh and freeze up ready to go when I am ready.

[@PrimalNomad]

I will try and include it in a future episode for you :) Biryani sounds amazing!! 🙏 One of my favourite indian/Pakistani dishes next to Keema or Dahl!
