Our group of 6 used your process on all 6 deer taken on our farm. There was a little bit of a learning curve, but we all recognized the advantages, especially not breaking through the pelvis or using a knife on the sternum. Definitely helped. Thanks for the education!

[@sonsofthunder3100]

Thanks for sharing! I've always hung them up first, but I like this process better. Also, I've been using several of your processing techniques, getting better each time. My kids, two teens and two adults, love deer meat! Back straps, burger, jerky, homemade sausage! They love it all! We've harvested three does so far, looking for more and maybe a decent buck moving through. Keep the videos coming!

One of the best videos I have seen on this topic. Nice job

[@captainblue2344]

Interesting and clean process. Thanks for sharing. Might try to incorporate some of those ideas when I process my next deer. There's always something to learn.

[@aaronenglish7522]

Good job. Lots of great tips thank you

[@briitanyr4692]

Very informative video. Much appreciated.

[@flip66five]

Good process... any tips for the bladder... I always manage to muck that up...

[@mr.Mikeyboy]

So by now I see u got big sal …but I was wondering if you could show same video just with a buck? I have never got one but just nervous about how to discard the male portion for the buck with out cutting into it

[@417HVAC]

Great efficient process. Now wish we could show the internal in place for proper placement and angles

[@stashmanly4418]

Hi thanks for the video. You got me through it.

[@nicholasmiller-slobodan7165]

Now call it a hunch... But maybe... just MAYBE... He likes a sharp knife! Great video, thank you! I just did a big bull highland cow as my first animal with my friend. Size surely makes a huge difference, it wasn't nearly this easy haha, but this is very informative, thank you!

Every body field dressing different way, but end up the same, thank you for show .

👏👏👏 way to go DOC!!!!!

Today (November 17th) was the opener of the Illinois firearm season, I got a decent doe & used this method (including using my Felco loppers) & it worked pretty good - no mess, other than some hair that I rinsed out.

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Congratulations!

[@TSis76]

Thank you!

[@Camo-Dan]

Thanks for sharing! Would this work on a buck too for the most part or is there a different procedure? Awesome straight to the point video!

[@GrowingDeerTV]

yes - works for bucks, bears, elk, etc.

[@tonytiger7938]

I appreciate your teaching Dr. Grant! I’ve harvested two doe my first season last year. I’m wondering how to use your gutting process with a buck when I get one. I don’t know how to navigate those “boy parts” and bladder, especially hanging upside down. Could you advise on that or do a buck gutting video to illustrate the difference from a doe? Last year I had a doe with milk in the udders and due to lack of knowledge and experience, her milk busted and drained down. I guess you have to skin around that area somehow to avoid that?

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Congratulations on providing healthy venison! In short, trim around them, leave intact, and let fall out with digestive tract!

[@tonytiger7938]

​@@GrowingDeerTV - Thank you for replying to my inquiry!

[@anonymousdude6493]

Thank you.

[@ericanderson1910]

How you like the tracker? Thinking of getting a 450 atv

[@GrowingDeerTV]

It's working great for us and a good value!

[@duanelamotte4640]

What do you do with the neck meat hamburger or neck roast

[@GrowingDeerTV]

Burger for me!

[@taylorpatkau960]

does this hurt the deer?

[@blacksrfm]

That seems really excessive to cut that rib bone and sternum, but I guess if it makes it easier for some people do it I personally have never did that and I gut going from the back legs down… cutting the sternum out like that would help it all fall out faster and easier so I get it

[@Countryboylife228]

My way is simpler and the best way. I’m way is way better lol good job

[@jonathansalmonsen4774]

Does this hurt the deer?

[@brushcrawler8612]

Never felt a thing 😂

[@jimkindle3563]

💪👍👊

[@michaelswitzer218]

I sell that brand lopper, they are the best. Pretty much indestructible unless someone tries to cut a steel post with it. All the parts are replaceable, so they last a lifetime, just replace blades when you wear thru the temper & can't sharpen them anymore.

[@poolgnome]

What brand lopper is that

[@michaelswitzer218]

@@poolgnome The one Grant is using is the Felco Model 22, which is the largest & highest priced (currently around $250 retail) but they are pretty popular in orchards. They came out with a more budget minded model last year, one the same size retails around $100 but the handles aren't as close together.

[@donollie-cm8uz]

This is painful to watch. Way to much time. Should be dressed out in about 60 seconds

[@bpml1969]

It’s an instructional video 😏

[@beyo_nd_animations]

Usually people don't talk to a camera when they're butchering buddy

[@jacobbarnet6415]

He’s explaining how to gut a deer simple jack…
