    It's 2021, it's time for an update! Our last how to butcher a deer video ( • The Best How to Butche... ) is over 3 million views, but the video is not the Bearded Butcher quality you've all come to expect. We have an Ohio whitetail in the dry ager, so it's time for a refresh. Grab your deer and your knife and follow along! This is the initial breakdown that anybody can do anywhere. This will take you from a carcass to sub-primals.
    19:14 - After you butcher your deer (same for elk), here's pretty much all of the deer trimmings laid out on the table at the same time with explanations of every cut.
    10:54 - Instructions how to remove the hindquarter gland between the top, bottom, and eye of rounds.
    12:09 - There's another gland here in the front shoulder to remove as well.

    Index:
    2:00 - First thing to do is cut off the venison flank. At the same time, reach inside the carcass and carve out the venison tenderloins right along the vertebrae. These can be called inner loins, tenderloins, or fish tenders.
    3:28 - After the inner loins are out, find the ball joint by the H bone, cut through the knuckle, and peel off the entire venison hindquarter with the venison sirloin attached. Then, slide off the venison flank meat and send it to the trim pile.
    4:45 - Venison front shoulder is next. It should be easy to remove. The venison back strap is next. Slowly work along the ribs with the tip of your knife.
    9:31 - Back to the venison hindquarters. Get the femur out first, then the venison sirloin and venison round tip (or the sirloin tip).
    11:57 - Front shoulders. There's a venison top blade (flat iron) steak here. You can use the entire shoulder as a bone in venison blade roast as well.
    15:06 - How to trim the venison backstraps. You'll definitely get a better flavor if you remove all of the silver skin. You'll end up fileting them like a fish.
    17:10 - How to trim the venison inner loins.

    I was a commercial meat cutter for 24yrs starting in 1978 learning on swinging beef and pork. There is a big difference between what I learned in a grocery store meat room and what is shown here. This video is the best I've seen and doing deer and could be used on moose as well. Well done!!

      You are correct, but cutting beef in a retail grocery setting is very different than how it is done in this vid esp the process of breaking down swinging beef as mentioned. There are many ways to do this work. Watching a few of these similar videos will show that in spades.@@HardRockMiner

    I know it is a very simple idea and task. But when I was first learning how to butcher deer by myself, I didn’t know what to trim off to grind. And I know it seems simple but coming from you guys, who taught me ALOT, I know it would help someone else!

    TH-cam recommended you guys 2 years ago when I broke my leg. My wife was trained in butchery in Oregon. The only animal in North America she hasn't done is a Bear. We've broken down a dozen deer and have an 82" band saw and an 8' processing table. Your ideas and your approach are awesome. You have completely made me rethink the way I buy meat, and how I process it.

    Got my first deer last fall. Needed a bit of guidance from my buddy on the skinning side of things. Had some butchery training in cooking school but this is a great addition to what knowledge I had. I did a pancetta treatment on the belly flaps and enjoyed the finished product, not so much when I rendered it though. I’m looking forward to the season kicking off up here in Michigan soon and want to do prosciutto with a leg. I appreciate the content guys! Thanks!

    I have always processed my own deer. I typically try to make most of the roasts boneless and then process the bones to can bone broth. I know several folks who just hack-a-wack at their deer and then can all the meat. The skinny end of the backstrap I slice into thin "breakfast" steaks - wonderful to sear in butter and have with eggs. Also makes a great cheesesteak sandwich. I could go on and on with what to use the cuts for, but I won't.. Love watching you guys work!

    This video really takes me back..... I am 68, but when I was 11, my father, an avid bow hunter, brought home a spike elk in Oregon. I had the pleasure of learning how to butcher an elk! So many great memories, never forgotten and valued to this day. Btw, elk meat is the best of all game meats, imho, better that beef, and far superior to deer. Great video, guys!

    Going in a couple weeks and hoping to get one this year. Watched almost all of your deer videos and many of the others. Have a friend that gets his family in on the processing as an assembly line. Never been able to join them, but after watching you guys, I feel pretty confident to do a...decent job of it. 😀 Keep the great videos coming.

    Thank you so much for this video. My friend got his first ever deer and didn't know how to clean it. I've cleaned birds, rabbits, fish, turtle, even squirrel... but never a deer. Over the years I've watched tons of videos on it but I wanted a quick refresher and this video popped up. I watched it, and it went exactly like you described. Quite intuitive actually.
    One pointer for beginners. We learned one thing really fast, it's never OK to have 2 knives working on a hanging carcass. If you have two people cutting, two can pull the hide but only one person cuts, and then one person cuts primes,, the other person processes the sub-primes...

Took my deer to a butcher ,and got robbed. It was a large doe, and I got a box of meat back that measured 12 by 12 INCHES, and 12 INCHES DEEP..

  • @TrybalRage
    @TrybalRage 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I only started hunting a few years ago and have always butchered my own deer. Videos like yours have helped tremendously with getting the large cuts out. One thing I struggle with is determining what is good enough for "trim" to be ground up. Since it's been drilled into me to eliminate fat, silverskin or anything that remotely looks like it, I feel like I toss a lot of meat out, and I worry I'm being too picky. Neck, shank, flank, rib all have a ton of silverskin and fat in them. By the time I trim out to clean red meat, a lot goes in the trash.

    • @bobbella4812
      @bobbella4812 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You will toss a decent amount not gonna lie. If you leave the hide on while it hangs it will take longer to skin it when you go to process it but also Keeps a lot of the meet from getting dry on the outside. Skin while it’s warm rolls right off. From there. Usually my front shoulders are burger meet (grind) the inner tenderloins and back straps separate. Rear quarts. Cut some roasts out. And steak meat then burger the rest on the bone. Meet grinder will catch some silver skin but also gotta remember it’s getting caught in the grinder. I’m 25 I’ve been hunting and processing with my dad sense I was little. I’ve definitely learned a lot but not all.

    I've been a butcher for 23 years, 80 % self taught, the break down and proceeding of the deer is exactly the way I do it. Absolutely love being a butcher, I believe it's truly an art or craft if you will. I've done a whole gamete of wild game down to a zebra and wildebeest and every type of livestock. I've been farm to table, literally. Love the kinship of knowing exactly how you guys do what you do as I do the exact thing you guys do,. Love it, great job guys.

    I was taught by my Dad and Uncle and have always done my own deer….I passed it down to my sons. But videos like this by pro’s still show me that I can learn new and better techniques. I do one thing that some people dont know about….i go to my local butcher shop and they give me their old knives when they get to the size you are using in the video….almost filet like. They are still razor sharp and hold an edge for a deer or two.

I started processing my own deer years ago when I realized how much meat you get doing it yourself I don't blame the processors the more deer the better the profit for them but taking my time I average at least 30 percent more meat. Processing my own I used the money I saved to purchase all of my equipment.

    Ok, call me silly, but I usually leave the meat ON the ribs and break them down with a saw to make venison BBQ ribs. A lot like breaking down hog ribs...Saves me a lot of trimming.
    I remove the backstraps, then hit it with a saw. Basically cut each side in half. To be fair though, I only make a few steaks, couple roasts, & ribs, the rest goes into the grinder. Just how we eat it.
    You guys are great though. Always good to see how other people butcher. Always something to learn.

      I leave the back strap at the ribs and split the backbone, then saw through the ribs to make short rib tips and then between the ribs through the backbone and have bone in back strap chops.

      @@dwightmansburden7722 I understand what you're saying but when you slow cook the the chops, the meat pulls away from the silver skin with a fork. Cooking techniques can change the outcome. Everyone has their preferences and as well as preperation of what they prefer. My favorite part of a deer is the neck. Whole, bone in and slow cooked with minimum broth covered. Salt and pepper only. A bed of rice, neck with the broth. Cooking certain cuts of meat in certain ways creates different outcomes.
      Happy and safe hunting to you and all respect. May we all be blessed by what the good lord has given us.

    Thanks for this video, question I was just planning on hanging it in the barn for 7 to 10 days, our temp are ranging from high 20's to low 40's if even right now is that ok ?

    • @PaulMcClellanmn
      @PaulMcClellanmn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just depends on how long the 40s last but if you are in the low 20s at night your average temp on carcas even during the day will probably never be much higher than 35
      If you are worried rub the carcas with salt and ypu will have no problem
      Had a whole ribeye in a dry aging fridge. breaker popped while i was away and it sat at room temperature for 4 ish days... did not kill me so a few hours at 40 will not be a problem

    • @Charles53412
      @Charles53412 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not sure about anything over 16 hrs.. But I've always let my deer hang over night in the upper 30 degree range is possible. To me, it allows the meat time to fully relax as it cools, Same principle as when letting cooked meat rest before carving. Processing seems easier, the meat cooks and taste better too. I don't age or cure which I think is where your going with the question. However, I don't see an issue considering the temp isn't to warm and as long it's hanging in a place where outside temp doesn't effect storage temp to much.

    Great channel guys!! I've been butchering and cooking/smoking my own meat for 30 years and still learning a thing or two from you guys. What id love to see on here is a wild game video on doing ribs, right from the butchering to the cooking on deer and elk. Sort of like how you did the rib video for pork and beef a while back. Wild game ribs and SO different from domestic and lots of people my self included struggle with how best to prepare and cook them. Thanks in advance boys!!

    I really like your videos, they are very informative. One of the best things that I picked up is the wearing of food service gloves. Not that I'm worried about getting something from the blood or entrails, it's more that it lessens the amount of hair that sticks to the carcass and hands. Sure does save time in the cleaning of the meat. Thanks Guys.

    These videos have been so helpful. I bought a walk in cooler, a victorinox knife, and an f-dick steel. My butchering game has increased exponentially. It's so much nicer knowing the deer I waited for to get a good shot on and took care to field dress doesn't get mixed up at the local butcher with some dude that gut shot his deer. Plus I know how long it's been hanged. Last year a buddy didn't want to be bothered at all and took it to the local shop at 10AM. They called him at 3PM same day that his deer was ready. Yup - steaks, roasts, jerky, smokies all done. And this year two other local butchers got caught by Game Commission selling venison and taking in un-tagged deer.
    Got a buddy with a Hobart slicer. He made some venison chip steaks. Those are nice and offer a nice eating experience 🙂
