Field Dressing a Deer in Five Minutes

[@drummerfromoly]

Interesting, I am not a hunter, I do fish, yet this is entirely different. This was actually my first view of seeing a field dress (don't laugh). I figured I would start to explore on how to do such things or what I would be getting myself into when the need does arise. It was not as bad as I thought, perhaps if I watch a few more, and then go with someone who is dressing, it will be no big deal and I would be totally desensitized to it all. Thanks for sharing.

[@abloom485]

I'm not a hunter but I saw this video on the KZbin homepage and boy am I glad I watched it. It's so interesting to see how certain things are done. Great video and sound quality, not too much talking, very informative. Thanks for posting this!

[@ki113rspacious2]

I suggest you look into buying a rifle of you don't have one. Start with a 22 to get a feel for shooting, it will not kill a deer, then gat a 270 or a 30 yacht 6. I am 13 and went hunting about a week ago, when you see a deer and aim at it you get pumped. It is an amazing feeling to go out and get your own meat not store bought!

[@mightiflier5813]

I have a "30 yacht six" and love it. It is a semi auto made in the 70's and is a great caliber for many animals front a medium size hog to a mule deer. Doesn't kick too bad either.

[@FOIMARINES]

One of the most detail and precise videos on field dressing, that I've seen thus far. Thank you for sharing!

[@williamjthompsonjr]

Stuck in Afghanistan this year for Deer hunting, I get back to Maryland in late December. Sucks. Oh well. America. Sucks being gone during the rut. Good Video.

[@field2feast]

+William Thompson Thanks for all you do to protect us and our way of life. I am praying for your safety and for your family as they miss you for sure. May you have many rut hunts in the years to come.

[@williamjthompsonjr]

+field2feast thanks for your patriotism. I hope this is my last deployment during the rut. My 6th time gone.....3rd rut.....but I enjoy the videos keep em coming....

[@williamjthompsonjr]

+field2feast back home fyi....did my first Maryland hunt tonight. Good to be home......

[@field2feast]

William Thompson Welcome home and I hope your hunt was memorable. God bless you.

[@westleywalsh8188]

I've watched many field dressing videos. Yours is the best I've seen. Good job!

[@NatureReliance]

Very well done. We do outdoor video training as well. It hit me that I had never done a field dressing vid. I came on to see if there were any good ones out there. I think I will simply share yours instead. Very well done. Respectful of the animal, clean and efficient processing. Thanks for putting this out there. - Craig

[@field2feast]

+Nature Reliance Thanks for the positives. I try to make it understandable and easy.

[@ChickensAndGardening]

Thanks for a clearly narrated instructional video. Planning to do some deer hunting for the first time this fall, and *if* and *when* I get my first deer, I won't just stand there and say "Now, what???" :)

[@doon714]

Nice healthy buck, Great job. And thank you for teaching something new, when I get my next deer I am going to do this process, Great video and thank you.

[@WasabiKitCat]

I'm not a hunter, but it's interesting to see how these things work.

[@azising84]

It was a great video in detail how to dress the deer but very little common sense here but other wise very detailed and great discription on how to do it great video!

[@BrianMcKinny]

Nicely done! That takes experience and talent.

[@yeano4712]

Thank you for this I I’m hunting for deer and this helps me

[@stephenobrien6248]

Newbie here, great job and info! That hat was so funny. Hope you got a new one last Christmas!

[@spencer6459]

thank you so much for your knowledge, helping me take up bow hunting!

[@gwalker5327]

Great vid. Glad to see they didn't split sternum or pelvis. No need to and it invites spoiled meat.

[@TheJpar1969]

very cool Ive never cut the neck high like you did for the esophagus but I will from now on..thanks

[@LutherAmosHouse]

I don't believe in killing an animal, just to do it. that being said if things went south in the world,this is a skill to have. our ancestors often lived this way. If you're not a vegetarian that is. I have never been hunting a day in my life. Have ate deer though and it's pretty good. The last Thanksgiving I had with my grandfather,we ate a turkey he hunted.very informative.

[@ericnorton4045]

Watched several. Videos really like this one . And thank you for not using the f word several times like some.

[@heatherswinyer3092]

Very quick, clean and concise...

[@scottsmith1436]

i have always reached up inside for the wind pipe after zipping open the belly to prevent drying out the meat on the neck

[@nathanielkay3866]

Great Video, I thought the Glory you gave to Jesus was Awesome in "The Feast". It was well worth the time to watch your instruction. Great Job! :-)

[@uncleboogie69]

ortho scissors would totally cut open the chest cavity safer and quicker i think...i wrk in emerg and those scissors can cut pennies in half.... plus the bottom portion of the blade of the scissor has a safety knob

[@kadrik0]

Different technique. The way my uncle does it we go from butthole to esophagus and then pull it all down. If it was a bigger deer would you saw the pelvis and rib cage? Slightly less messy when the ribcage is cut. You should try the buttout tool. Still not a fun process but cuts the time in half when working that spot.

[@5656KDawg]

Hey, I did enjoy this, you did a very good job, one question though. Why didn't you just break open the sternum?, you obviously weren't saving it for a mount and that would've made getting the diaphragm and everything behind it way easier. Just wondering, but very good video, very informative.

[@field2feast]

+Sarges Dad I used to separate it but just went with the slower less hard work way.

[@Synndell]

its better if you don't cut and break it open its better for the drag out then there is not all the leaves and dirt in there

[@davlikan]

Love your hat, great video

[@Servelegend]

Great job on this video!

[@joztunes69]

Nice video, we usually hang the deer upside down then do that, unless hopefully it snows, then use the snow as water to keep the deer clean, but you are %10000 on the do not try to cut or puncture the bladder or shit bag lol, or you will have one hell of a mess then you better hurry up and field dress faster than that so you don't ruin the meat, but yeah nice video

[@1wide9111]

I guess I need to get that saw, I have never cut the chest bone open, looks a lot easier than reaching all up in there and feeling around.

[@eirizarry2568]

Don't need a saw...a good knife...even a good folding pocket knife will split the chest cavity.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

Great video.

[@PraveenSawh]

nice video guys, trying to learn and this is very helpful

[@PTMG]

I'm a vegetarian but this will probably come in handy some day

[@freaknbigpanda]

I'm going out the first time this year by myself (normally go with family) without a truck or 4 wheeler on my parents property.. and I only have a car.. so I'm going to be attempting to quarter the deer and put it in game bags and hike it out to coolers in my car!! wish me luck!!

[@brainache555]

Great explaining even a total noob can understand whats happening!

[@2wicepipes]

Bad ass dad 2.5 min., fierce son 2.0

[@NatureIntoAction]

Cool, picked up some new tips.

[@chrisgast]

It would be nice if the latex gloves can go over the regular gloves. That way you can keep your hands warm and clean while field dressing. Is there such gloves?

[@realgoshawk]

Good work, although I think hanging them makes the work much easier. And, did you get your new hat ;-) ? Andreas

[@criticalreasoning2129]

Thank you for sharing reasonably good advice.Certainly much better advice that those videos that show how to best contaminate the meat. However, I do have some suggestions: Wear a hand glove on top of the Cow OB-GYN gloves. When you free the anus and rectum, invert the hand glove over the anus to seal it completely at the very end, tie it off however you prefer, but be sure to remove all plastic from the woods, you need to protect the beasts that will eat the carrion. When you free up the trachea and the esophagus, tie off the esophagus by peeling it off the trachea and tying it in a knot.

[@earlkoropatnick1928]

A lot of people have trouble with the bladder, that's one step you overlooked but good video anyway.

[@BananaAlert]

Very informative..!

[@sneeks253]

thanks for that video really helpful.. and damn that hat tho lol..

[@irvingreen7060]

ive never heard of it this way b4 I start at the bottom and go all the way up to the neck never see it done this way but everyone has a different way of doing things I may try this way

[@kristenhiltz5084]

+Irvin Green I used to start at the bottom too. Until someone pointed out that if you start at the neck, you are cutting in the same direction the hair grows. You get a lot less loose hair flying around by starting at the neck.

[@jfphotography69]

It takes me 10 minutes to gut a deer, I start from the bottom to the top/sternum, I never punctured the stomach, I pretty much skin it and filet around the guts area.

[@tb5219]

Found myself not breathing through my nose at the anus cutting. I laughed pretty good at myself there.

[@armadaink]

Why gut a deer when you can quarter it and pack it out while avoiding the innards? Do you guys have a truck or something nearby? Just curious as I am a new hunter. :-)

[@KFieLdGaming]

There are ways of field dressing without gutting, but in reality it's quite simple to gut a deer. This video makes the process seem longer because there's editing cuts, and explanation of the process. In reality it takes a couple minutes if you know what you're doing. Me personally, I don't slice open the neck and detach the wind pipe from that end. When I'm reaching my hands up the cavity to cut the diaphragm to release the vitals, that's when I cut the wind pipe as far up as I can reach, and I literally use it to pull everything out with one strong tug. I don't even do any cutting above the sternum at all in fact. Also, you have to open the deer's cavity up to get at the fillets(back straps), which are the choicest cut on the animal. They lay parallel along the deer's spine, one on each side. But I don't get those out in the woods. Once I have the animal home, and hung up with the cavity spread open(via a piece of wood usually), I go in and cut them out, throw them into a zip lock bag, and into the fridge as they get eaten the next day usually. Once you've gut a deer the first time, it's easy and very repeatable after that. Like riding a bike. The only tricky part is making sure you don't cut yourself when your hands are up inside the cavity and you're doing everything by feel, not by sight. And also making sure you don't slice the intestines or stomach. Other than that, it's pretty simple. Just kinda work your way around. Once the organs are free, they all just kinda fall out.

[@b.d.wrubel110]

Ive never heard of this way before

[@royhoco5748]

was the shooters rifle being carried with a round in the chamber down that hill when he allowed the barrel to point at the cameraman behind him at the 1:15 mark of the video

[@doyouhavegainsonyourphone4507]

It's a muzzleloader so no

[@whitter86]

Hunting a little close to the road aren't we?

[@dlawndartw]

best way to get a crap load of dirt and leaves all through everything too on the drag

[@katecedeno1382]

Just learning. I am trying to teach myself how to bow hunt! (already great with a bow just never been hunting) this was very informative thank you! The anal part I was worried feces would come out and spoil the meat.

[@9989Wolverine]

What meat is under a buck? Deer Balls!!!!

[@Subhuman828]

is gouging my own eyes out with glasses part of the process?

[@kerrymagner3057]

Why didn't he split the sternum and ribs all the way up? Makes it much easier to access the diaphragm and the windpipe from inside.

[@gwalker5327]

1. There is no need to. 2. It spoils more meat.

[@kerrymagner3057]

Hardly see how splitting the chest spoils the meat? Allows for easier access to the chest to remove the organs. Allows the chest cavity to cool faster thereby preserving the meat longer. Just the way I do it in Iowa.

[@eirizarry2568]

there is NOT much meat in the chest cavity anyway to worry about spoiling...so I don't get the reluctance to separate the chest cavity.

[@randystache78]

Why not use a gut hook? seems a lot simpler.

[@eballinu809]

One thing I was caught to do by our local hunter's safety program in Western New York is to leave the testicles on a buck and cut around them as further proof of sex. Not sure if it's a requirement, but sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry.

[@EricKremer]

different states require different things. like where I live if you have a tag for any deer you can do what ever with it.

[@eirizarry2568]

HINT: The ANTLERS give it away....onlly MALES have antlers. discard the testicles....You have been the victim of some fun folk lore...similar to snipe hunting.

[@stevetaylor7435]

Excellent video men. You handled that animal like a pro. Have you ever thought about using the but out for separating the anus? It works awesome. Saves a lot of time and work.

[@Gixer750pilot]

I did chuckle that a video showing the field dressing of a deer actually takes 10:54. Just saying

[@jerrygray6702]

So what is the silly face mask for?

[@mattk3445]

I feel like cutting directly in the anal cavity creates a larger area of risk for hitting the intestine. Did you start there merely for a lower time spent on field dressing?

[@Jrackr10]

10 min video that's suppose to take 5 min. 👍

[@field2feast]

+Jeff Smith During first part the hunter was shooting the deer...followed by monologue...followed by five minute field dressing... followed by closing comments...followed by credits. Sorry if title threw you off.

[@theconsummateoutdoorsman5531]

you should have saved the heart and the liver that is great food.

[@field2feast]

+The Consummate Outdoorsman We did, but the farm dogs get them. I appreciate the folks who enjoy every edible part.

[@theconsummateoutdoorsman5531]

+field2feast oh that's really cool

[@briancoverstone4042]

+The Consummate Outdoorsman My brother in law used a recipe from his grandmother for the liver. It tasted like steak. Quite amazing!

[@theconsummateoutdoorsman5531]

I love the heart and the liver

[@matycee]

Don't know much about deer anatomy but I'm fairly certain it's pronounced "urethRa" and not "uretha".

[@terryray1609]

Y'all do it lots different then we do down south

[@bedbassandbeyond1592]

i want to go deer hunting someday but i don't know if i have the stomach for cleaning it :\

[@dailyfacts2023a]

I understand, i have been hunting with my best friend for years now, when you dress it just relax and just dont think to much about it. Just think to yourself that its not gross and your mind will calm down and accept it, sounds weird but it helps, dont worry you will be fine. Its a lot of fun and remember to stay safe and have fun! :D

[@htimsrM]

I know the basics in field dressing. Always figured I could do it, but I sure found myself wincing when you cut out the anus.... But very informative, thanks

[@MrUltraworld]

Isn't a bit close to a road?

[@tommyfuller103z]

Fred maybe it is a little close to the road. But remember Fred the deer a was shot and ran towards the road. Say hows that Male Prostitute thing working out these days ? Don't forget to remove your Truss. After all your Fred Garvin Male Prostitute ! If the Audience doesn't know what I'm talking about . Google" Fred Garvin" and get back to me. Happy Hunting everybody.

[@MrUltraworld]

tommy fuller To stay in shape, I get out the Bass a Matic and guzzle a large mouth. Chicks dig the truss.

[@jenniferbelgarde8525]

Well he went past the 5 minutes

[@beyondthewireproductionshu4841]

nice vid

[@SuperMeToTheRescue]

That is one FAT fucking deer! Jesus Christ!

[@Mojoman57]

Go here -> 3:26

[@whitter86]

At least you aren't driving around with a rifle hanging out of your truck window...

[@neoc03]

Please let me pay for a new mask for you. That tear in the middle drives me nuts.

[@field2feast]

neoc03 I was wondering when it would come up. I cut the slot in the mask because I use a kisser button when I bow hunt.

[@natserog]

+neoc03 A.D.D. is a bummer huh?

[@neoc03]

***** more like OCD, but that doesn't hold a candle to my trypophobia.

[@SENGVIN]

Drop point knife would probably be better

[@ckingclosur]

close to what is called gralloching method

[@jaythezombie5091]

nice mask

[@HitmAN13371337]

Well this method does work obviously, but it is the most complicated I've ever seen with no advantage. There are better methods like we do in europe I would suggest. Your method is almost a surgery.

[@field2feast]

+A. N. Send me a link if there is a demo online. I may be old but I am glad to learn.

[@camwebster2487]

For the anus part, when you tie the large intestines can you use a zip tie?

[@field2feast]

Haven't used one but should work.

[@2wicepipes]

Why a fucken zip tie, I'm a bad ass, but my son was a fierce bad ass, and he was 16

[@lanckie]

I immediately stopped paying attention when the 'field dresser' came waltzing up with rifle pointed towards his party... no attempt at gun safety?! wtf

[@eballinu809]

+lanckie yeah, not too cool. I don't care if it's loaded or not. Safety on or off, that's just not how a gun is carried.

[@field2feast]

+Erick Potter (Erock) Never pointed the gun towards camera man (me). I would have called his attention to it. Muzzle control is vitally important and I probably shouldn't have come up on the shooter so closely as I followed.

[@eballinu809]

Ok fair enough. It is hard to see exactly what's going on in a video. I did appreciate the information in the video. Be safe and happy hunting.

[@lanckie]

+field2feast 2:29. his barrel is pointed directly at the camera... maybe you don't pay as much attention as you think.

[@mikeyunovapix7181]

it was also a muzzleloader.

[@ASAD0789]

why do u people throw away the liver, heart and kidneys !!!

[@garymitchell3149]

Why the hell to hunters have to play loud rock and roll music in the videos. People that are interested in these want to hear nature and some damn piece and quiet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@oddmunddale806]

Why are this things so complicated in Africa and Amerika, a endless amatør mess. When one do this right its CLEAN inside. Not a drop of blod or shit any place.

[@goodtalker]

Dump the tunes dude....yuk

[@jimlayhey1965]

yes bad gun safety pointing guns at each other

[@KonnexionMusicFest]

Shooting towards a road lol. Also running up with rifle pointed at your party. No common sense used here I see

[@Bbear44]

+Brandon Lee He wasn't shooting towards the road and it was a muzzleloader, which means one shot and one shot only is coming out of that thing

[@field2feast]

+Brandon Lee Road's running parallel to the shot..gun never pointed toward party and even if it did get near my direction I would have alerted the shooter...plus muzzle loader doesn't have another charge in it after shot.

[@eirizarry2568]

Brandon stay in your moms basement.....and leave the hunting and shooting to the real men. Advice...hold your writing until you are more knowledgable...when you write before you have wisdom...well everyone now knows your an idiot.

[@TobyNorthEN]

I think he's referring to the 2:23 mark where your buddy is approaching the camera head-on and he's carrying his rifle like a tool box.

[@petevalley8495]

OMG, watching this I thought the same thing and to the idiot saying it's only a muzzle loader...I mean wow, are you serious?

[@criticalreasoning2129]

Warning must be watched muted for first 5 minutes because of inappropriate mind numbing vomit inducing elevator music. No hunter wants to be in the woods and hear anything other than the sounds of the woods.

[@heat4yoass]

poor deer

[@thinkinginwords]

It was bothersome that they laughed about it not being a clean shot to the heart...yeah funny that you shot it in the neck. Not a fan of unskilled hunters.

[@eirizarry2568]

heart...lung...neck...all three are GOOD ethical kill shots...with minimum suffering and quick death. Any shot in those areas are certainly skilled...or very lucky. good shot none the less
