Wild Game Meat Hanging

[huntinstuff]

Cut it yourself. A semi-trained monkey can do it (I mean if I can, anyone can). Takes me 4 hours to skin, cut, trim, and wrap a deer -- and I'm slow (drinking beer, taking a few minute out to watch the game etc.). I've had two deer out of 40 done by "pros" and now know that I will do a better job because it means more to me than it does to them.

Well said........

Each fall for the last few years, we have several meat cutting parties at my mom's place... We get rid of all the stuff that's not meat, debone everything and there's even a high end electric grinder that we use to grind up the odd cuts for burger and sausage. The most we did was 4 deer and a antelope and a half (mom has friends who trophy hunt & pass along the meat they don't intend to use themselves... hence why the half, lol) in one day. That was me, my sis, mom, stepdad and occasionally the BIL (once he was off work). It makes for a VERY long day, but it's so worth it.

The big problems we had with "professionals" was sub-par cutting, lots of membrane, fat & gristle in the meat cuts, as well as not getting ANY of the tenderloin (the SOB kept stealing it).

This way, we get to socialize, my sis & I drive mom up the wall with our joking around and the meat we get is 100% done right.

The GF and I did 10 sheep the other day...took about 10 hours, using the bandsaw on the farm. Even with the bandsaw, it still takes about an hour to cut and wrap one sheep, about small deer size, although this includes moving it around a bit, and packing it in the freezer.

Boning out wiht a knife, and then cutting into steaks/roasts takes a couple of hours for an average size deer. Longer if you wan to get every scrap for the grinder.
