"I took this deer's life so it could give us life and that we could continue to live. We respect these animals a lot." It's cool to learn how much hunters appreciate the animals that gave them their food. I'm a vegan myself but I'm also an open-minded person and like learning about the other side of certain points of view I have. Recently. exploring those other points has really changed some of my opinions I've held for all my life and I think it's a good way to live.

I really like this video. I've butchered my deer all my life (well since I was a little kid and I'm closer to 60 than 50 now), and I still picked up some tips from this video. I used this in a class at school where we have been talking about hunter's ed. This was a good video to show the kids as not only did it break down the process, but showed respect for the animal and God. Thanks!

[@cburgess7]

I was told to watch this by a vegan and see if I still want to eat meat after it. I watched the video, then bought a bow, hoping to bag a deer soon.

Finally, somebody who knows how to strip the silverskin off the backstrap! I don't know how many guys I've seen "pushing a rope" trying to run the knife through the meat close to the silverskin and not only taking a lot of time, but wasting half the backstrap in the process. Experienced long time deer hunters doing this. I finally said "You're killing me here, didn't you ever skin a fish?" and stepped in to show them how. Great vid, guys. Sharp knife, good advice.

Thank you for this. My wonderful neighbors try to give me a whole deer or elk every season. With 4 hunters in the one family they usually can afford to let one come to me. I will be 73 and on super tight budget so this is such a huge and welcome gift. Your video is going to make it so much easier for me. I will also be making some changes in my garage to make processing easier. I will get the old table covered with something I can keep clean and break the deer down on it before I bring it in. I usually break it down while still hanging. They usuallu cut it in half some times quarters. But I can see how much easer it would be to break those joints when laying on a hard surface. I can slide that table over under the hanging carcus and just let it down. Easy peesy. Thank you so much!

[@nights2747]

This was incredible to watch. The whole process from field dressing, skinning, everything. You're awesome. Thank you for sharing this information.

[@stevengrant4687]

Speaking of not wasting, one further step that I never hear mentioned is, after I have stripped every edible piece of meat from the carcass, anything still clinging to the bone (and including the bone) gets thrown into a large turkey fryer stock pot and gets boiled until nothing continues to cling to the bone. This includes the spine, ribs, and thanks. This rich stock gets frozen in medium size tubs and stuck in the deep freezer until the coldest part of winter, then it gets thawed and mixed with dog food. With seven dogs to feed, it helps cut cost, provides them a treat they go nuts about, and keeps from wasting anything on the animal. Just my two cents worth.

[@pdoutdoors7272]

Hmmm,,, interesting. Think i'll try that.

[@geraldjessup6149]

I save the bones and put them in a large pot and make stock out of it. Then I pull the remaining meat off and grind it up for my dogs and cats

[@denepride2910]

steven grant we Natives don't cut all the meaty parts we leave it on and cut it into pieces with bone on..even use the insides, guts and all. At times even blood even skin gets turn into moccasins or mukluks or some clothing... From a Native point of view most of you people waste more then you think..even heads of the animal gets used best part of the animal is the tongue lol...nothing goes go waste....in winter we just set nets for the dogs...

This just popped up on my suggested videos and I am glad that you guys have realized how important it is to slow down and explain what you are doing because as impressively fast as you get through this whitetail, most people are going to have to watch it in slow motion to figure out how to correctly duplicate the cuts (as best they can). You guys have come a long way and all of us “garage butchers” truly appreciate anything you have to teach us. Thanks again guys!

[@StormyPeak]

Very much like my dad taught me to butcher deer and elk. Once we were done getting almost all the meat off the bones, I would take an extra 20 minutes or so and go over the remains and get a bunch of little meat slices or bloodshot meat salvaged that I could cook up and give to the dogs during the winter. When wrapping, we used a marker to label the packages... usually with meat type, cut and year it was butchered... examples: elk backstrap 1979 deer stew meat 1983 I didn't care if my salvaged bits of fat and meat came off an elk or deer, I just wanted to label it so I knew it was for the pets, so those packages were labeled such as... 'Dog 1979' My dad laughed at me and said he hoped no one from the Humane Society ever peaked inside my freezer.

Very well done. I've been butchering my own deer for 40 years but I just learned a whole heck of a lot. Thank you for sharing your skills I believe you just took a whole bunch of work out of the way I been doing it. God Bless and thanks again.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Learning never stops, right? Thanks, Scott! I'm sure we have a lot to learn from you, too 🙂

[@gilbertramirez6626]

I'm a newbie haven't gone hunting yet but hope to real soon thanks for the info

[@researchbothsidesequally4481]

I simply cannot express how much I love your videos. I really appreciate how you show respect to the animals, God, and your family. I will be making the short trip to your shop to support the great work that you do. I don't know why I didn't find you sooner, but now that I have, I have binged watched most of your videos. You embody the essence of what honest people are, and it shows with every video. Keep it up guys!

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Thank you so much!

[@ray32245mv]

Y'all some good ol boys. I remember trying to process deer on a kitchen table covered in newspapers, with my dad. We didn't know what the f we was doing, lol. We finally started taking them to a processor in recent years. After watching this we might just go back to doing it ourselves. Thank you, very much, for taking the time to show us how to do it right.

[@VikingPreparedness]

Excellent vid. We do it very much the same except that I take the major pieces off a hanging deer, bring it inside and cut on cutting boards on diningroom table. Thanks

[@TheBeardedButchers]

You’re welcome and thanks for watching!

After 30 years of cutting meat, with many years cutting game!! Nice job The first thing is A good shot!! Then cutting the game properly. Cutting hard against that bone and separate along those natural seams. Then clean up the bones to maximise the yield!!!

[@TheBeardedButchers]

ant-1 -1 Thank-you!

[@fishlovme]

I can't believe how many people waste meat off the bones, so I appreciate a video like this explaining to people to get that meat off those bones! I save them and boil them then make soup from them. Delish!

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Exactly! You can do a lot more with those than just throw them away. Thanks! 😀

[@jeffspangler8532]

Really appreciate your comments at the end of the video regarding paying proper respects to the animal you harvested for sustainment. Most non-hunters don't get that. Also appreciate your reminders about tree stand safety and mentioning to wear a safety harness.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Thanks, Jeff. These animals deserve respect, too. That's why we do what we do. And of course, it's always important to prioritize caution when in this line of trade. Thanks again for watching 😊

[@robertom.4453]

Very nice job, greetings from Germany. That's the best beaf you can get. Waidmannsheil 👍👌

[@Frostedfk]

So looking forward to attempting to harvest a deer this year

[@Sg-bg7xp]

Good luck bud. You'll love it. Remember.... let a kill lay down for at least 30mins. If not, you may have a runner or even worse, a fist fight😂😂😂

[@mikeneurohr27]

You've sharpened my skills when it's time to process the deer thank you very much 👍

[@prairiechicken4910]

I was able to stop by the shop while driving thru Ohio not long ago... kept peeking in the back but didn't see anyone. My wife saw Seth come out while I was gawking at the Waygu steaks in the cooler. thanks so much for your skinning and processing videos - I did my first process because of this and talked my buddy into it as well. I love knowing I'm getting everything out of the animal and doing it myself. I cut the sirloin into steaks and next time will steak out the top round as well. In a month I'll be hunting in NE with my brother - can't wait for some more venison! God bless...

[@scotthaliday7583]

You make it look like art work. Nice job!

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Scott Haliday Thank You Scott! Much appreciated!

[@hairutheninja]

Good knife work should always look like art

[@ChicagoTRS]

Exactly what my deer camp does...skin and quarter at camp and get the meat in a cooler - imo biggest difference in having a great tasting deer. When butchering the quarters I breakdown the muscle groups similarly...just not quite as fast or accurately :-) love watching real butchers work.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

ChicagoTRS Awesome!! Agreed...Thanks for watching!

[@buckem858]

For me as someone that wants to get in to hunting but has not one to teach them these videos are really helpful so thank you

[@jessebrockway5313]

I have an interview for a new job as a butcher today. I have been watching a ton of processing videos over the last few days. This one I find very helpful and informative. I know they may do it differently but you guys gave me a good head start. Thanks

[@TheBeardedButchers]

You’re welcome and good luck!
