How to Butcher a Deer Hind Quarter * EVERY CUT EXPLAINED *

I harvested a whitetail deer in Florida and it's time to process the meat! I recommend dry aging meat if possible, but with temps in the 80's, I had no choice but to jump right into processing. In this video I show you step by step how I butcher an entire hind quarter of a deer at home. I talk through each cut of meat and explain how I like to use each cut when cooking.

What about cube steak

[@KevinCasey64]

I have processed many deer over 30 years of hunting but I watched your video and I must say your video is one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen because you slowed down and took the time to explain how to do it step by step.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

So happy to hear that. Thanks Kevin!

[@ngeezer]

I agree. I break down my hams the same way but didn’t know each roast’s name. Thanks for that!

[@robocepeck1814]

I agree. Excellent demo.

[@beammike]

This video was so awesome thank you for sharing.

[@garyftaylor507]

Thanks the way you broke down everything, and which meat to keep and what to grind was helpful.

[@Dsmith7136]

These folks are right. I’ve been butchering deer since I was a teenager and I’m almost 80 now. I might have watched a hundred or more videos explaining the process and yours is, by far, one of the very best at simplifying and explaining the reasoning behind each cut. You’re one of the few who detail the how and why of locating and removing that gland between the rounds in the hindquarter. Excellent - no, superb job. Thank you.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

I appreciate the kind words. Thank you!

My wife was my best hunting buddy and my daughter was 9 when she past away but my daughter is now 20 and all the time I spent with her hunting and fishing has paid off . She is a very dedicated hunter and I would like to teach her and myself how to properly breakdown a deer with the correct cuts . Thank You AWESOME VIDEOS

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Im so sorry to hear that Dennis. Happy to hear that you are able to enjoy the outdoors with your daughter though! Thanks for watching.

[@Bizkaboom]

What I like about your butchering videos is that you make it doable for amateurs, and you explain not just the cuts, but which are best for cooking different ways. I particularly appreciated seeing how you cut out the glands and provide the explanation about why, and how your knife could spread the distasteful gland material. And… you just make me smile!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

[@morganmom194]

Allie, I can never thank you enough for your wonderful videos! You are such a blessing to me and my family. I am a 64 year old roundish 😁 wife, mother and Nana who loves to deer hunt. My husband and I are on a fixed income. With your videos and a new meat grinder, I was able to process four deer last year for ourselves, family and friends to enjoy. We eat well because of your dedicated time in teaching us. I pray that you will be blessed in return. ❤Aunt Nana

[@OutdoorsAllie]

I'm so happy to hear that!! I hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year!!

[@marcdeo9820]

best video on dealing with hind quarters. the fact that you discussed the direction and inner VS outer portion of the hind separates this from every other video on the subject - and I've seen them all (almost). Very well done and highly useful. 10/10.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Glad you enjoyed it Marc!

Allie, you are truly a surgeon, thank you so much for this video otherwise I would have never known about that gland in the hindquarters. Many years my family has butchered their deer, and just sawed away and hindquarters for steaks no wonder it tasted like crap, thank you again so much much appreciated I'm doing mine right now

[@redhawk449]

Absolutely the best, well explained breakdown of a hind quarter I have seen on KZbin. I love the way you clearly described the different muscle groups and how you like to use them. Very excellent!

[@vintsent7749]

You and Scott Rae must be teachers to young butchers. How good is this! Write a book and I will surely buy! I'm from Belgium and it's always nice to see how other country's butcher in their own ways.

Thank you! Book is on the way!

Finally! I have been butchering venison like this for 4 decades, you cannot remove all the silver skin. Connective tissue ect... unless you do it the right way as this young ladie has in this video. Venison has a wonderful flavor if you dont marinade in milk, vinegar. And a whole host of flavor cover-ups, this to excuse a poor butcher job. Thanks for showing the folks, you go girl!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks for watching Steve. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dr.charlescunico7376]

I can’t tell you how many videos that I have watched and it never stick because the people showing you go way too fast when making the cuts.

Hello Outdoor Allie, I’m older than “Karl” (in one of the comments lol) its my first year hunting and have harvested a few this year (has been the best experience and don’t know why it took so long for me to start hunting) I paid for processing the first one-expensive- watched another video and did what I thought was ok on the deer until I saw yours and I showed my 70 yr old neighbor how you do (did) it and he was amazed. Know that You have helped some older guys butcher their deer the right way bc of the time you took out of your life to help someone; so thank you & God Bless.

I'm going to echo a lot of the comments on here already but... FINALLY! A video that I can actually follow along to and learn the different names of the rear cuts. Every other video I've watched either goes blindingly fast in the cuts, doesn't show the point-of-view from the person butchering ever, and changes the orientation of the whole leg so often and fast that I immediately lose sense of what I'm looking at. Thanks so much for making this!

Great Job Allie!!! I butchered many deer in my life and also watched a lot of people do it.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks Paul. I appreciate that!

[@nicoli309]

I’m an addict for butcher videos but no one has explained in detail where every cut lies on the hind quarter. Instead that all flip the quarter every which way during the butcher process and I spend more time reviewing which way they are looking at the meat vice how they are cutting it so I can follow along. Loved the video and your personality. So thank you for the instructional, it’s exactly what I needed. Time to watch the rest of your videos! Blessings from Stafford VA Chris

Thank you very much Chris. I really appreciate that!

Been hunting and usually completely processing my own venison for over 20 years, and your processing videos have still been very useful to me!

[@michaelrhoades8418]

I have no idea how many deer I have butchered in my day but it is a lot. I have also taught young hunters how to do it and I take a lot of pride in it but when teaching inevitably they ask what type of meat is that. Pride kind of slips away when all I can answer is, “Steak, grind, stew or roast.” Amazing job showing and explaining not only how but what each cut is and how to best use it! Had I known what the eye of round was on a deer I wouldn’t have been so disappointed in it all these years! Thank you for teaching this old dog a new trick or two! I look forward to more of these videos and can’t wait to share them!

[@markopolakovic7319]

When I started watching this video, my first impression was it will be to no avail for someone who wants to learn how to butcher the venison as it will take her ages to break down that small hind quarter. However, then I realised that proceeding in such a slow way is just perfect for the beginners, as usually when a skilled hunter or butcher is showing how to process the meat it’s very fast and thus hard to follow for someone who is just learning how to do it. Good job!👍

I’m back again, Allie, to thank you! I learned to can our deer meat last year and it is the best way to store it!! Venison takes on a whole new flavor when it is pressure cooked as in canning. No more tough meat ever! The shanks have a flavor all their own. I can ground(80%/20% beef fat), stew, steaks and long boneless shanks. I hope you will get a chance to try an electric canner. It makes canning fun! I also have a dehydrator and I’m ready to start jerky in a few weeks when our hunting season opens. Thanks again!

[@mikecalabrese28]

Excellent video Allie! I'm fortunate that my wife hunts with me and is right next to me when it's time to process our game. This year we handled the entire job from start to finish all by ourselves, to include grinding the trim. Doing all this together really helps us to appreciate the blessing of being able to hunt and harvest meat for ourselves and it's so much healthier than store bought meat. We have been participating in the process for awhile, but are now starting to remember the actual cuts as we go through the process on our own. If I could offer one small piece of advice it would be to caution your followers to be extremely careful if they chose to purchase and use one of those havalon piranta knives you used to break your deer down since they are effectively a scalpel on steroids. We use them as well, but it never fails that one of us gets over confident and nicks ourselves 🙂.

Thanks for watching Holly! And congrats!

I started fully processing my deer last year because my family loves cubed steak and most processors only do the backstrap on a average doe I get 25 pounds of steak and 20 pounds of ground. Awesome video thank you for sharing this and being so thorough.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks for watching!!

It's very nice of you for doing this to help the people who don't know how to do it properly. I think a lot of hunters take it for granted because most of us have been doing this since we were kids or teens. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Of course. Thanks Ronnie!

[@realreviews2003]

Excellent job explaining and actually showing step by step how to bone a hind quarter. Thanks for taking the time to do this!!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@j.nicholaswitte8008]

I've come back to this video for the third year in a row now lol I think you do a fantastic job

[@nikolasshay3294]

One tip that helps me out is using what i call a "dirty" knife alongside my nice sharp boning knife. I actually use this same method when im skinning a deer. I use the "dirty" knife for the dirty work. Cutting around bones, kneecaps, or cutting through hair when ringing the deer during skinning or cutting off the legs and head. It allows me to always have a sharp knife on the side for doing intricate cuts while butchering or skinning an entire animal without the need for resharpening my good "clean" knife. For my dirty knife i literally just use an old stiff 4" rapala knife which has a broken off tip lol. But i love this method. When i need to get down and dirty or do some prying in certain areas or digging into bones i use that knife.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks for the tip!!

This is the second year I'm processing my own deer. Thank you so much for this video!!! I finally know what the different cuts of meat are and how to debone properly. I look forward to other breakdown videos if you have them planned!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!

[@darylkenny4562]

Eye of rounds get turned into minute steaks by tenderizing and then breaded like a cutlet and put with gravy. They are one of my favorite cuts.

[@danielfetchak1865]

I recently harvested a buck in Pennsylvania so I will do the hind quarters exactly how you showed us Thank You 🦌

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Congrats!!

[@polygman]

This is serious the best video on the subject. So much better than anything else out there, thanks

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Glad you think so!

[@patrickhenry236]

Very good job Allie. I enjoyed how you tied everything into making the most use of the meat, and your enthusiasm for the dishes you will use it for. That is a large part of ethical hunting that is often not shown. Congratulations on your deer, and may it sustain your family for the year to come.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks for watching Patrick!

[@austincroft245]

This is one of the best instructional videos on a deer hind quarter. Thank you!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@NMViking2]

Great video! I butcher game infrequently enough that I have to have a refresher on the different cuts and uses of the meat each time. This video is an excellent step-by-step breakdown of the cuts and has been super helpful for butchering my recent antelope. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@7mmSTW154]

I watched this video last season and didn’t get to make use of it. Got a deer today and it’s so warm out but I still had the time to make the cuts and get it refrigerated. Just worked fast. Was very helpful and I think I’ll Do better next time. I’ll be getting your cookbook to Try things out. Thanks for the video!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Congrats and thank you!!

[@aaronmeeks1155]

Awesome video! There is nothing more satisfying than processing your own harvest.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Agreed!

[@bradlane3662]

Allie! You couldn't have overlooked anything for years and years and YEARS! You ain't even years and years old! Now that's very different from me! Thanks a lot for the in depth video. Shorts aren't very beneficial for something like this. I've been hunting and butchering white tailed deer here in southern WV for almost 40 years. I do a pretty good job but wanted to do better. I appreciate it! And I much prefer shank in a slow cooker. There's definitely no slicing meat on it but it will cook up super tender and flavorful that way. 🦌🙏🇺🇲

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks for watching Brad!

[@bradlane3662]

@@OutdoorsAllie Sure thing! Enjoying the channel.

[@mackbarker1990]

I just found your channel and love the time that you take to explain in detail everything you are doing. I really like the "Bearded Butchers" but a lot of the time, they go so fast that you don't get the detail necessary to do it yourself. I process a couple of deer every year and don't have any problems but your detail really helps. Great Job!

[@bradfordtetlow1226]

Thanks Allie. I only found your channel after I had finished "processing" the front half of the deer...resulting in some very unusual cuts. However I found yours by the time it came to the hind quarter.....and things have improved significantly. It might be my first deer, but it won't be my last.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Glad it was helpful! Good luck on the deer.

[@frankarnold571]

Great Job Allie , I have been butchering deer over 50 years and could not have done a better job myself. I like the way you named each cut of meat and explained its best use . I don't think anyone could have done it any better. Keep up the good work . I would caution you about wearing gloves and sterilizing knives and grinders between deer when butchering more than one deer . I have encountered CWD here in the Arkansas Ozarks on our farm, 2 out of 7 deer tested positive for CWD and I had to destroy the meat and bones so for people who live in CWD zones please be cautious of cross contamination. Always use the check number on each package so it can be identified. I'll be watching for more videos to share with my friends and family. May God bless you and your family and have a wonderful Christmas.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks for watching Frank! Thankfully we are not in a CWD zone.

[@TheSHOP411]

Liked, subscribed, and shared. I read a few comments and I agree with everyone. Absolutely, hands down, the best breakdown of a deer hind quarter. Professional butchers and meat cutters should take notes from you on how to do an instructional video. I have cut my hind quarters just as you have done but it's difficult to explain to people who ask . Your video is better than any explanation I could ever say and better than any other video out there. Wow, and I have been wanting to see how a chamber vac sealer does from just a regular person. Bonus.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words.

[@justenveach3839]

My goodness!!! I didn’t know women like this existed. Very impressive. You know and respect your food that’s for sure. I’m in awwww!!!!!!
