Processing a Deer

Yes. That gentleman is on a couple of my bowhunting boards. Probably the best pictoral I've ever seen of how to do that. I remember my grandpa teaching me how to do the exact "no-waste" type of processing in his barn when I was a kid. He would do the whole deer, every bit, with a Old Timer stockman. No saws of any kind. He believed, as I do, any of the bone particles or marrow on the meat can give it an off taste. Any carving for backstrap or steaks was done in the kitchen with a larger blade.
 
Ron lives about 15 minutes from me. He and I met up for the deer and turkey Expo in Madison WI in spring of 2007. He is a world class fellow, excellent teacher and is a "do it yourself" kind of guy between making tee-pees, stone broadheads, longbows, knives etc...he makes it all himself. He is the last of a rapidly dying breed in this world. I haven't talked to him in some time. I need to give him a call...

Thanks for posting this!!
 
Yea, if you look around over there he has done dozens of tutorial threads. They're all just as good as that one!

Yeah his bowmaking and tipi making threads are epic. :thumbup:

I also liked the broadhead build for his friends buffalo hunt.
 
Yea, that guy irritates the crap outta me. Everything he does, he does it better than I could.

He doesn't waste an ounce of meat, good on him.

I've noticed that he spends alot of time teaching his boys what he knows, their lucky guys.

Thanks for the link.
 
I used to frequent archerynetwork.com a lot...I think it is us-outdoors.com now, and he had a lot of those tutorials posted there as well. When I went to his house, he is one of those kinds of guys where you just keep your mouth shut and ears wide open and try to retain as much as possible. When you think you have an idea what he is talking about, you quickly realize you know less than what he has forgotten.:rolleyes::eek:
 
That was excellent!
Thanks for posting it.

It is very much the way we process deer, child involvement included.
One major difference here is that the dog gets the bones. Keeps her teeth clean and she loves them. I actually will freeze leg bones for distribution all year long. Giving her a frozen raw deer bone on a hot day is like giving a human child a popsicle.
 
Awesome link Andy! It might come in handy for me next week ;)

:thumbup::thumbup: I remember doing the same as a kid while being taught to slaughter cattle. Our dogs ate like kings.;)
