Nice video. I render deer tallow also, it makes great soap. I’ve also used it to make leather conditioner for my work boots. Great idea to use what’s left as dog food. I usually give it to my chickens. They love it
Ive been making pemmican for a few years now for my family and friends, ya know, for when everything turns to sh1t...anywho, deer fat is definitely not the route to go. Beef tallow all the way. That being said, I never thought to use deer tallow for a leather conditioner. Im going to look up some recipes tonight!

the deer tallow soap did interest me, looks so creamy, i bet it'd make an excellent pommade, hope the smell isn't too bad, but i'm sure you get to encounter all sorts of smells living on the land so its relative, i'd love to know how the scent compares to lard though
I believe in another video, they mentioned that since it's rendered, it has no smell! It was the video where they show how they make the tallow into a lotion.
Once fat is rendered and used in products like soap it no longer smells like anything and often fragrances are used to make it smell nice! Lavender is a natural and yummy one
all that tallow would be perfect for traditional carnitas! it's a good way to use up a lean tough cut. just deep fry it in tallow before slow cooking it
Thank you for these. It’s it easy with but it surely does lower the barrier to entry for those of use who are working toward being able to forage in the future
You probably do this already, but you can make a lotion type product by adding in some other oils that are liquid at room temp (ie. Avocado, Olive). Tallow feels clean on the skin, absorbs easy and has tons of fat-soluble vitamins that your skin will love

I've never harvested any deer that had fat. We hunt by track and harvest. We don't can hunt tame deer that feed off of corn all year. But I'm sure also, deer fat will vary from state to state and breed in that state due to the amount of food forests are there for feeding. The Piney Woods of Texas don't truly offer much and we can tell when we're hunting national forest that is close to a lease, the deer are much broader, not so much fat, but broader like they're eating food plots and grazing corn and mineral blocks.
I think he mentioned in another comment that where they hunt, the deer eat a lot of acorns which are fatty and high in calories. I'm in Louisiana and our deer vary so much, from super lean to chunky and plump.
How many deer do you hunt a year? I've never been interested in hunting, but as I get older, I've realized it's better for individuals to hunt their meat rather than get it from large companies that treat the animals terrible and create a lot of waste
I do this with beef and pork Tallow that I get from the grocery store. I always get asked what I do with it.. first I want the best talo for cooking. Then with the not-so-great talo, a process at the same as I was a good. I do small chunks versus grind it. The Lord that I get from this is now used in my chicken feed. An excellent way to get protein and fat to your to your chickens. And the chunks are used for doggie treats. It makes all my animals happy. And I have the best lard for cooking with, making me happy. But now i want to add soapyo this process. Ty. Love this idea
As someone who is more vegetarian than most, thank you for respecting the animal that you kill rather than taking it for granted. They don’t choose to die and want to live just as much as you. It’s great you are teaching how to use every bit of your hunt just like ancestors would. Ps fk you factory farms!
OMG, this is awesome! We are hunters and every deer we got iver the years was super fatty. I felt awful letting all that fat go to waste. Now I know what to do with all that beautiful deer fat.
I’ve always found deer tallow waxy, I would recommend bear lard for cooking over tallow but you have to be careful with what the bear has been eating, you want to be as far away from a dump, or restaurant or town as physically possible
I’ve hunted deer for the better part of 30 years, I can honestly say I don’t enjoy the mouth feel of deer tallow. I usually mix my ground or sausage with pork to add in a better fat
My favorite way to use tallow is ie to mix it 2-3 parts tallow to 1 part olive or avocado oil. Makes a really lovely texture for cooking oil and adds lots of flavor to foods! That, and i make salves and balms. Recently i made eucalyptus balm for easier breathing during allergy season
I've used it to make pemmican, before, but I do prefer beef tallow for making it. Just tastes a little better. But venison itself makes the absolute best spaghetti meat sauce ever.
I bet there are other parts of the deer, that when cooked, make a really good dog food. I wonder, could you mix them, dehydrate them and have food for later?
I render tallow off the brisket that i purchase, however I dont know how to make soap, so I use it in cooking. It adds flavor and nutrition to Ground chicken and turkey.
I love that the dog gets the gristle. I bet it does love it. Man how do y’all have time to work, take care of the family l, harvest and produce these well-produced vids?
@@exnihiloadnihilum5094 You need to have time away from work to make this lifestyle work the average American does not have time for all of this. Foraging isn’t an option for everyone because you should never forage close to roads and not everyone has the space to grow things. This is not feasible for most people. Even hunting isn’t free you need a license. The lower class is the absolute least likely to be able to live like this because they often do not have land, money, or time. We are not our ancestors and we cannot easily live the life that they were able to live. Industrialization made it nearly impossible overtime for most people to live off the land.
Does the time of year heavily affect the amount of fat? Or is it other factors? ie. Doe have more, or younger have less. Less in the summer/early fall, more in winter etc. etc.
Time of year has some impact, but it’s mostly driven by what they’re eating. If there are a ton of acorns on the ground or the deer are near a corn field they’ll usually have way more fat than the ones eating mostly greens
I read about beef fat that a heavy corn diet makes the fat yellow, soybeans make it white, and grass makes it translucent. If that's true of beef fat, is it also true of deer fat?
I mostly use tallow from my cows for food preservation haven't tried soap yet.. hmm oh and if you want it for cooking oil try the wet rendering and then rerender it but on a smoker for some subtle smokey hints in foods
Hey I'm actually interested in making beef tallow soap and I really like how you included a peice of lavender into your tallow to help scent it. I was hoping to do something similar but with the boat load of rosemary I have in my mother's yard
One great trick for the final stage. Move the cool, liquid tallow to a tight sealing container and add a little clean water. Seal it, turn it upside down & chill it. The fat will rise to the bottom of the container, so when it’s solid, and you flip it upright, the water pours off, leaving perfectly clean fat that fills the container without air pockets.
I don’t like the taste but for soap sure. You’ll want to add the lavender oil closer to the end of the soap making process though, otherwise the lye/ ash will break down the lavender oils just like the tallow. I usually let the lye work for a few mins before adding the expensive oils lol
I usually give it to the birds in my feeders. Deer fat has a wax taste and in my opinion I don’t like it for cooking. So the birds have it to fatten up for winter and my chickens as well
Ohh fun ideas! I just processed a bunch of ducks from my flock, and man did they turn out to be fat-asses 😅 I held onto some fat, but i wasnt prepared to collect much to use. Felt like kind of a waste, if im being honest 😕
I will try this if I ever get any fat. I got all excited once, when I was at an outlet store and found a 50 lb box of tallow cheap. I bought it, planning to make soap with it. One day, I mindlessly was looking at the box and noticed an ingredient label. Ingredients? It's just tallow! It contained "anti foaming agents". Ugh! No way to make soap with that. Ended up using it for frying potatoes and a couple of other things.
I’ve tried the wet render method. I don’t like the hassle of it with repeated purifying rounds. I have experimented and found that when I fold my huge cheesecloth piece into 4 layers it strains all the impurities out and I don’t have to wet render at all!

We avoid deer fat like the plague in these parts. Nice to see somebody use it.
Then you must only kill the oldest of old deer. Heaven for bid your meat has any flavor
Why. I thought tallow is full of nutrient ?
@@brejaimecastillo8851 fat carries flavor and people generally don't actually like the taste of deer, even people who think they do.
@@koryhelm8515 deer fat is like eating paraffin wax bruh, hell you mean flavor?
@@brettmans1979 wtf, your deer fat tastes like paraffin? Stop hunting and eating lead contaminated deer wtf
We don't like to eat venison fat. I find it doesn't melt in the mouth, and has a waxy mouth feel. Never thought of using it for soap! Great idea.
Sounds like it would be useful for frying donuts
The waxy feel never bothers me. Then again I also like eating whole honey combs. Delicious.
@@fellipedasilva99 weird ass question but do you actually digest the wax? always thought it could cause an obstruction

Dear tallow and lard with comfrey, feverfew and little mint oil makes for a really nice bruise salve.

Gristle makes good people food too. The collagen is goof for skin/joints/nails. I'd mix some of that into a chili or meatloaf since it's been ground.

@@HomegrownHandgathered interesting stuff
Before the flowers and afterwards that's how the lavender looks, I think the leaves smell better than the flowers.
Lavender looks a whole heck of a lot like rosemary when it’s not in flower, and that’s because the two types of plant belong to the same family.
That is the best fat for health. If you’re not eating it that’s crazy but at least the dog gets some of the awesome health benefits.
So cool!
Always been curious about this
One great trick for the final stage. Move the cool, liquid tallow to a tight sealing container and add a little clean water. Seal it, turn it upside down & chill it. The fat will rise to the bottom of the container, so when it’s solid, and you flip it upright, the water pours off, leaving perfectly clean fat that fills the container without air pockets.
I don’t like the taste but for soap sure. You’ll want to add the lavender oil closer to the end of the soap making process though, otherwise the lye/ ash will break down the lavender oils just like the tallow. I usually let the lye work for a few mins before adding the expensive oils lol
