Nice one, where was you when I first got Lambs? I must say my own self tought methods are almost identical (on deer that is) except the boning of the back leg where I leave the bone whole and I seem to use my clever for more than I should.

I have yet to hear back from the bloke,but,thanks for reminding me mate,I will ring him Monday.

As for the 'Silverfish' mate,it has been a hectic culling season,and,here are a few pics of the quarry................

Here is a right and left I had recently,both headshot.........

And,here is a very good specimen head I took that was way off,I used the rangefinder and it was almost 8 inches away,I took that one because he was lame..........

 

Y.I.S. martin.

 

8 inches from the lazzy band mate ,that has to be a pb i know .Great trophy there mate .You will have to take me to some of those silver fish spots you covert so much .They are few and far between around us thanks to the pros at 'em constantly [and you know who you are ].Anyway mate ,may all your fish be silver and see you soon for a lazzy night out .

Ive been fine tuning my carcass handling skills with the help of this, last night I boned all my joints, it went well, and will save freezer space!!

 

Thanks again Marting for putting up the thread

Martin,

 

Brand new to this site from the US. I do all of my own butchering and grinding of whitetails and I have to tell you I learned a thing or two from this post. Fantastic work. Breaking the joints rather than using a bone saw is the way to go, amazing how many people here I cannnot convince of that. Also I use every conceivable scrap for ground meat, necks, everything. Lots of those are wasted here in the US, I just can't bring myself to waste it.

 

You don't mention heart, liver, etc. What do you guys do with it in the UK. I used to eat organ meat but due to the high cholesterol content of organ meat it now goes to my lab, and my dropper, pointer/setter cross, great for their diet and coat. Again, we don't waste much of God's bounty.

 

Any way, great piece.

Hi Woodsman,I personally eat about 30% ,but,as you said my two dogs do get the bulk of the offal,and they love it...............Martin.
