Brewman 1,192 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Today I butchered my first deer carcass to put in the freezer. He was a nice young buck shot last week and hung for 6 days. Done pheasant and the odd bunny before. I didn't do to badly had a little help from an uncle but would happily do it on my own the next time. Makes eating it that little bit sweeter. Left a bit of fillet aside and we had it for dinner, no issues cutting through it and it was mouthwatering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brewman 1,192 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Cheers fellas, I wanted to do it myself so I could learn and plus I wanted the fillet, last year I got a lamb off en ex colleague whose bro in law slaughtered and butchered it, fooker took all the neck fillet so was not impressed. Apparently its called the butchers cut or something like that. We did the job in an outhouse yesterday and by fook my fingers were feeling the cold but it was worth it.
