Deer Field dressing video

Excellent video! I prefer to split the brisket myself, for ease of field dressing, particularly when alone, but other than that, this is as plain as it gets. ( would have cut around that milk sac, too) Eagleye.
 
X2, I'd cut around the milk sac as well, I too split the brisket & pelvic bone for easy removal of entrails. Then all that's left is butchering in the garage,it's sooo easy!

Good video, covers most of what you need to know. I too open up the chest, makes it easier to cut the esophagus/windpipe up high in the neck. Tough to get your arms up inside when it's -20C and you're all bundled up. And watch the scent glands.

I didn't check - did they do a vid on large game birds like geese?

X3

I leave the arse attached until the very last thing. Open the carcass from the throat back, working around or removing the udder, and splitting the pelvis bone. Cut around the diaphragm. Grab the windpipe, and roll the whole works out the back, and cut the arse out and trim off the urinary tract, last.
I like to place the animal head uphill, on it's back, if I can, so most of the blood runs out and does not soak into the hair.

Nothing wrong with the milk, just that it's not deer meat, and it can get a little crusty when it dries!

Good video though! Really wish I had it when I shot my first deer!

Good technique, if a little slow the way he does it, of avoiding having more loose hairs around than needs to be, by cutting from the inside outwards. I wish I had known that before I started, too.

I actually have the DVD...you can order it from the website that is on that video. I ordered it for the meat processing part, which was something I had never done, but wanted to do. Great techniques are shown...anyone can do it with the way these guys explain it.

How long is the processing video?

There was a link to one posted here a while back that was about 15 minutes long that covered the basics, and looked like the same carcass hanging there. Dunno if it was the same though. Also a good video, and worth digging through the backlog of posts to find it.
