How to Remove the Gland From a Deer Hindquarter * BUTCHER DEER AT HOME *

[@user-ld9jq5ns8t]

Well done, as a professional meat cutter/ butcher for 18 years i really couldn't have explained it better for someone.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

I appreciate that, thanks!

[@davidjacobs828]

New subscriber here , you're extremely knowledgeable. We're not allowed to have guns or go hunting in England. I eat road kill and grow vegetables tho .🙂👍

70 year old bowhunter and I just learned something new today. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Thanks. Very well done.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

Yes, it is a very good video.

Beautiful piece of venison and a great, informative video. Imagine figuring this out before smart phones!

You old dog you...

[@DemocratsAreBabyKillers]

Stop lying and spreading myths from your mom and dad's generation to the next because whoever told you that is a bold-faced liar there's nothing in your deer that's going to ruin your meat I don't care if you hit the gut I don't care if you hit the bladder or what!!! You are probably the same type to soak your deer meat in saltwater to get the gamey taste out!! And if you do that what's the use you may as well go buy some hamburger meat!!! And no by the way you were not filleting that hindquarter you were boneing it out!! And I can tell by what you said that you don't know how to cut meat because a butcher does exactly that butchers something meaning screws it up. Not cutting! There's a difference between a butcher and a meat cutter a meat cutter takes pride in his work a butcher does exactly that butchers up the meat meaning screws it up!! Like the old saying when someone tears something up they say oh he butchered that!! Thank God I learned how to cut meat properly and did not become a butcher!! I have ran deer coolers and I was a market manager for Kroger 4/30 years after they came to Georgia and purchased a company called Wrigley's who I was employed buy as a market manager!! So I think I know a little bit about processing game and livestock and girl you are full of crap stop spreading your idiotic myths

[@kroadie3936]

Basically the whole thing was explained in a very simple way,thank you.

[@OutdoorsAllie]

I'm glad you found it helpful!

Never to old to learn! I butchered my deer for years and never knew about that gland! I just thought it was fat…Thanks for the info and your videos!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

That's many years and you didn't contaminate or ruin any meat. That's BS about ruining it if you cut the gland. I've seen guys grind that with the rest of it

Thank you for your knowledge and a great 🦌🍖 video!👍

[@354sd]

Me too. What about if you don't cut the meat of the bone. I guess it's some sort of gland like in a goat that can make the meat taste rank. Anyway very interesting.

[@misterlewgee8874]

Nicely done. Beautiful explanation and example. I never knew of that gland. Thank you.

[@sotxjoe3216]

Allie's one of the best on KZbin at showing and explaining, and she's not always trying to sell something or faking machismo like a lot of the other channels. She's become my go-to for these instructional videos. Thanks Allie!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

I appreciate that! Thanks!

[@whatsgrowingon]

Finally someone points this out . I always see videos where they butcher the deer and never mention the glands. It makes the meat stink.

[@paulsmith1411]

We saved whole hindquarter for next year and cooked whole thing never removed always tasted Amazing

[@nickp.2432]

Difference between old school and new school. Gramps taught me the same..❤

[@rhensontollhouse]

My father taught me, and I am old. I’m thinking it may be a good idea for F&G to have a notice of some kind for anyone getting deer tags. Tell them about the glands and how to remove. Think of how much meat has been ruined because of lack of this knowledge…

Good job my dad was a meat market manager for Kroger around 20 years before advancing to store manager, my entire life we worked up our own deer, hogs , and beef you did a great job and perfect explanation in separating the muscle groups.

How much do you think you could learn about butchering by taking a job at a local grocery store with no experience?

Perfectly timed video. On saturday I will be butchering the 5x4 whitey i knocked over this past Sunday! I have suffered through a 10 year drought, so i am out of practice butchering. I appreciate the refresher!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Congrats!!

[@michaelotto8696]

Great content and very helpful for those that are just getting started. I've been carving up my own deer for half a century. Thing is I never realized that lump of stuff in the hindquarter was anything other than a big hunk of fatty whatever. It always came out quite easily so I'd never cut into it. learn something new everyday!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Thanks for watching Michael!

[@TheMrMused]

[@rhensontollhouse]

Old man here, when a kid in Oregon my father was notorious for harvesting deer year around to feed his family. Taught me to immediately remove the scent glands. Now in California I have yet to meet a deer hunter who even knows bucks have scent glands. Most shoot a buck then take it to a butcher shop for processing some 8-20 hours later. No wonder they say the meat is “gamie”. The ruined the meat by not dressing the animal,properly then waiting waaay to long to get it chilled.

[@George1mac]

Very well done and informative....I knew of the gland and have told a few others....you did a great presentation. Years ago, I stopped letting a processor do mine after discovering you may not get the deer that you took in. Also, years ago many processors would use a bandsaw to do a regular cut and you ended up with bone in crosscut steaks...obviously the gland was left in such a method. One thing that has affected us in Tennessee is when bringing a deer back from another state, it has to be completely deboned, so that forced many who never did any butchering to do some work or leave it with a local processor in the state and the hassle of getting it picked up or sent. Just ordered your book, and my wife is looking forward ....thanks

​@@OutdoorsAlliewas wondering if it applied to muleys, elk ,and moose... 🤔✌️🙏☝️💪 Heard of it before our local deer processor, just cut round steaks off hind quarters, third to last buck harvested 2004 I gave that meat away , we usually did processed our meat , time constraints prevented us from it , buttermilk marinate with slow cook made for melt in the pallette perfection venison salami sticks also on point...👍💪🇺🇲🖖✌️

When commercial processors are trying to make a "huge truck" note ($$$$) on every deer they cut up, DIY knowledge is priceless. Thank you, ma'am. BTW, I keep up with what processors charge, but I haven't let anyone touch my harvests since the 90s. I also notice none of them drive "little trucks," :)

That should be the tarsel gland. Not sure of spelling but it gives off their scent when in rut and stinks very strong . Sure don't want to taste that. Great job Allie.

The tarsal is on the hide on inside of hind legs

[@johnpoole8321]

@@TommyMarler Right, which is right below where that meat is so I was wondering if that's where the secretion comes from.

From a lot of the replies I guess ya'll don't realize that there are glands in the front shoulders also. These glands are very strong and will taint the flavor of the meat!
