Collecting ROADKILL for Hawk Food đ€ą
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 22. 08. 2024
- This vlog channel has a diverse audience. I want to stress that I understand not everyone wants to see a deer pulled apart or butchered for food. So, if you dont like it DONT WATCH. In this episode I make use of a crappy situation after hitting a deer while driving a fire truck at work. I decided rather than leave the deer to rod on the side of the road that i would do my best to harvest the animal for food to feed my pet hawk named Carol. Carol is a Red Tailed Hawk trained in the art of Falconry and as a predatory species she is specially adapted to eating meat that would be unfit for human consumption. This was my first time gutting or skinning a deer so that process was quite long and difficult but i found it to be educational and feel that i did the right thing.

Carols reaction when you walked in to check on the heart đ€Ł
She was very protective of that thing!
@@Maxx.Powell you should have watched some videos on processing a deer- not too bad of a job you did though. Good move salvaging the deer for Carol- would not eat it myself after it was out that long
Baby steps? YOU HIT IT WITH A FIRE TRUCK hahahaha
Dude this actually made me lol when you loaded the deer in the back :)
Tony Hedley i was almost crying from laughing so hard
20:21 - cuts self and goes right back into the deer blood. Boy you better be careful.
Was going tosay the same thing. Definitely not the smartest thing to do.
I always do it
Parasites đł
I've cleaned several dear lol don't think I could do it after setting out that long haha good job
The deer didnât look both ways before crossing the road. Thatâs all your son needed to know haha, life lesson. & you should check out Deer Meat For Dinner (DMFD) here on YT!
Yeah needs to watch DMFD tutorial. DMFD is my favorite youtuber.
Never ever would I ever watch something like this but Iâm glad I did because I learned something new today. Thanks Max! Keep up with the great content!
Did the right thing. That was the funniest video Iâve seen in a while. Your face and reactions. Priceless. Great job!
Okay, props to you for wearing a white shirt while gutting a whole deer and not getting a single drop of blood on it. Also, you made me laugh on some parts xD
This is becoming one of my favorite CZcams channels, two thumbs up.
Dr. Maxx. Youll make a great surgeon! đ Hope you get the ticks out of your truck!
Hey Maxx! I'm a hunter and really appreciate that you took the time to not only use the deer, but make a video of the process. 99% of CZcamsrs wouldn't make a video about this because they would be afraid of it freaking subscribers out, but way to be true to yourself!
Awesome Job for your first time! I wouldnât use road kill for human consumption that has been out that long, but for what you need it for thatâs a great use. I know here in MN, if itâs fresh the DNR will give it to the driver that hit it or even sometimes bring it to a processor and have it processed for the local food shelf. Otherwise, mystery road kill if not overly bad they will pick them up and bring them to local zoos or wildlife rehabilitation centers to use. Love the videos and keep up the great work!
Max - âwhat did I do to it? I didnât do anything.â đđđ
Check deermeatfordinner for butchering videos. I wouldn't eat the meat unless the time out the temperature hadn't gone over 45, imo. Glad you are putting the meat to good use.
I've hunted my entire life and cleaned countless deer. I won't judge your technique, but I thoroughly enjoyed you cleaning this. For it being your first time, you did amazing.
I believe this is a valuable lesson in survival and awareness that teaches kids/people where REAL food comes from! Great job and having not been hunting in awhile it brought back a lot of great family hunting time. I've ate road kill but knew the time of death and outside temperature before processing and refrigeration.
For your first time with no onsite guidance you did fine; itâs a big step going from a video-watch to âhands-onâ. Good job how you handled it with your son. Properly handled, youngsters are much more resilient and understanding than we give them credit. Your sonâs new found understanding and savvy regarding lifeâs lessons will put him âaheadâ of his more protected/clueless cohorts. Cool that your wife didnât freak out about the whole life-lesson aspect; overall Iâve observed she is pretty strong mentally..
I laughed my ass off but for the most part great job.
Kids get more than we understand. Just be honest. Donât try to sugar coat life
Is it weird that I enjoyed and found some parts hilarious đ?
That was some awesome Sunday night entertainment for the WIFE & i... thanks Max!
Holy smoke I donât think Iâve laughed as hard as I have on this vlog. âGod! Oh god!â
You did good man!
Hi Maxx, the good news for you, is that the most serious hunters do use gloves for handling their deer. Deer can carry diseases that are transmissible to humans, so it's always best to use gloves, for safe handling.
Thanks for telling him I guess I won't post nothing now cuz I was sure going to say that OMG if you have to say it again say it again for me
Was hoping heâd put gloves on after he cut himself đł
Glad Washington just passed the harvest law. I hit one on way to store got it on way home an fed to the dogs haha. Cant pass up free dinner
You did a damn good job for your first time. Thank you for not letting it go to waste - Carol will love it! After that long, donât eat it. Back when I was in a college fraternity and we hit a doe during deer season. One of the fraternity brothers used a doe tag and we brought it back to the fraternity house, gutted, butchered, and fed all the brothers that night. Ours was a fresh kill, so it was still good - and we didnât eat the bloodied and bruised meat, so we fed it to the dog. Love the channel and keep it up!
The humor, humanity and parenting in this video..how could anyone dislike it?
*PETA has entered the chat*
Lol. Wither PETA or 10 Snowflakes that dont know how to read disclaimers
Good job Maxx! was listening to Radio last night about the importance of calcium for birds. (some feed our magpies mince/bacon etc here in Australia and it doesn't have any/enough calcium) I'm sure your all over it!
Well Dr. Powell, another fine mess you got in to LOL. GREAT job dude, you are supposed to hang the animal for a couple of days to let it start to rot which in turn is supposed to make the meat tender, at least thatâs what I was told. When you were spreading its hind legs apart, I had a vision but we wonât go there, just kidding lol, awesome video Max.
The leg just sticking out of the canopy was just hilarious. I know that sounds bad, but I found it funny. Awsome video!
Max you need a shirt for this moment. I could not help but to laugh! I am happy to see the meat get used and not wasted on side of the road.
You did the right thing bro. You took a death and turned it into something positive and useful to sustain life. Love the videos!
i really want to see this channel blow up, been watchin since 20k now wheres that 100k youtube badge
I know a family they eat road kill all the time, some of the pheasants they eat are rotten.
You made a good job cleaning the deer for your first time. đ
Lol I canât stop laughing, you did pretty well on cleaning it
Him explaining it to the kid is the cutest thing lmao
When your pet dog doesnât sit when you tell him 19:56
You did fine man. Can't say I've ever seen anyone split the rib gage like that before but for your first time cleaning a deer you did just fine. Also no matter what anyone else may say teaching your son stuff like this young is something everyone should see and know how to do. Life feeds life.
I used to watch them butcher our cows once a year. Itâs ok. Sterling is so cute đ
Max...well done man!!! This is the right thing to do especially after checking with proper authority and getting the documents on file! Why waste the deer especially if it saves you $ and feeds the Carol!!! Also honesty to your kiddo is the best approach. I have a 3 yr old and always tell him the truth explaining at his level! Well done homie keep the videos coming
Thanks man. Sterling seemed to appriciate the life lesson and has been extra careful near roads latley Haha
I would not feed it to my family, but I think it was a perfect addition to the hawks diet to close out her molt. I say it was time well spent and a good video.
I just started a "carnivore diet", this is JUST what I needed to see!!!đ€Łđ€Łđșđžkeep up the good work, feed Carol.đŠ
I would tell my son that The doe didn't look both ways when she crossed the road.
Thanks for sharing this!
On a very sarcastic note, you should've let Carol do the butchery! To watch her just go at it like she would in the wild would be pretty cool to observe.
Incredibly respectful that you didn't waste anything. As a chef, I've always wanted to experience hunting to have a better appreciation. I'm still trying to get the right connections to experience that.
As for the butchery, I've never cleaned a deer. In school15 years ago we did butchery but most restaurants just order the whole prime cut and fabricate it to the individual portion. Not bad your first time, just like cutting a chicken, you cut it into the natural muscle groups. I wouldn't eat it tho....too long out in the sun.
Love that you're sharing this journey with Carol with us!
We all asked for this XD
No one in my family hunts. I want to get into hunting, and this video didnât bother me, but no one in my is willing to help me get into the sport.
Good job Maxx on poppin your cherry. Lol
Lol thanks Mike
Iâve collected (fresh) roadkill and ate it no problem. After 30+ hours I wouldnât eat it. I think youâd be less queasy if it was fresh and not all bruised up and battered. The insides of any animal stink- but they definitely stink more after 1.5 days. Great job for your first time. One tip- if youâre not worried about the hide tearing- after you hang it cut off the hoofs and then tie a rope around the hide wrapped around a baseball. Attach the other end of the rope to your truck and put in drive. Youâll pull the hide right off. Plenty of CZcams tutorials on this.
Would have not eaten the deer meat in those conditions, but for Carol excellent. We have RT's and Eagles on Road kills all the time. I have maybe skined 10 white tails over the years. You did pretty good for a newbie, couple things in skinning I would have made different cuts but for a RK, you did fine. Good video and should also make some coyotes happy! (PS: video of Brit night shooting was vibrating!)
What i would do is just cut the back straps and major leg muscles off from the backside. That way you dont have to mess with the guts and you get the best meat for Carol with very little mess. Probably around 20-25lbs. More then enough to feed a little bird for a long time (until you find another fresh roadkill deer
I would've done the same thing. Always good to be responsible and check with your local wildlife department as each state is different. I think you did great.
Sterling went into full investigator mode ha ha ha.
Ya did just fine on the deer and the talk with your son . No sense in getting too philosophical. đđ
Its a great idea so it didn't go to waste and you saved the township from sending someone out.
I showed the part at 10:14 and asked if that's how it feels to give birth, she said "I dont know, ask your grandma" because my mom had C sections with my siblings and I đ€Ł
Being a vegetarian (13 years now) & someone who has never processed an animal, Iâd never want to do it, Iâm impressed you undertook it by yourself, and canât believe you kept going bare handed after cutting your finger!!
1) You did the right thing to make use of resources -- nature at work really, common sense too 2) You did fine gutting 3) Your boy understood it all, and it was not bad for him, no need to apologize for natural predation, including using natural resources for your own food source - or Carol's 4) Last month I ate a Canada goose hit by car in my neighborhood within an hour, last spring a wild turkey hit by a car three hours before I got to it. All was delicious, legal, safe and was part of the circle of life. BTW wild turkey is 10x more flavorful than farm birds.
Great video Max enjoyed it and I'm glad your introducing this to your children so they are comfortable and know this is real life loo forward to the next video đ.
I didnât see a problem in this at all. Great for Carol ! Keep doing your thing man. We live in a time where everyone is offended. Just do you and keep bringing the great content Max.
Well done Maxx!!! hahahaha funny one. You did the rgith thing, beleive me.
Great job man. I was waiting for a bee to end up in your mouth as always Haha đ
Hell no I wouldnât eat it lol. But I totally get why you did what you did. Love your videos Max!!!
Hey man, I love what you do and how you make us feel! I just have one suggestion; I have watched you and continue to keep watching you for a multitude of different reasons; side by side vids, Tacoma build vids, parametor vids, your new house vids, carol (falconry) vids, plain old good vibes vids, and the list goes on. I can only offer one piece of healthy constructive criticism: Just make sure to let people know at the end of your videos that you have such a diverse channel. I know that sometimes you make sure to add a comment at the end of your videos that says that you often make some âtoo randomâ uploads and that some people who clicked on this particular video may not know that you have other video topics. I suggest that you create a standard speech outro that says something like âmake sure you get some work done this week, but donât forget to live. If youâre interested in power sports, falconry, home improvement, Toyota Tacomas, or more, then make sure to subscribe, press the bell, and look out for the next video. Canât wait to see you all next time.â Just a random suggestion!!
Thank you for the inspiration my friend, and thank you for all you do! I have heard you notice a few times on separate videos that you would have expected your channel to grow a bit faster than it has been growing. So, as a social media consultant from Boise, Idaho, who really enjoys your content, I figured I would offer some professional advice! Keep posting!!đ
I had a pretty similar situation, came up on a deer right after it got hit and saw it die. Got permission to take it and gutted it that night. Took the carcass to a local meat shop that made me a whole bunch of jerky. It was also my first time and I totally got the queasy feeling, you are not alone. Love the idea of using it for hawk food, I think I might have to do that as well. Been out trapping the last few days and hoping to get one soon!
"I mean I didnt hunt this deer" Proceeds to smash with a fire truck
Maxx my man! Caught my first red tail with a Bal-Chatri this past Thursday! Sponsor says he's in perfect health, 940grams. I got him eating off the glove last night! soooooo pumped. How long did it take Carol to "hop" to the glove for food? I love seeing the lengths you go to to ensure Carol's well-being. Great stewardship great videos. You're setting a wonderful example for the falconry community! Keep up the overall badassery!
Iâve been waiting to see this video. Glad you were able to do this. I would love to be able to make dog food from road kill.
I couldn't stop laughing with all the release of gasses. I, as a hunter, ALWAYS keep latex gloves in my pack. I'm sure there are a number of hunters that feel that are so manly because they don't use them and get blood all over their vehicle that they need to clean up later. I will always keep them in my pack to use. You ABSOLUTELY are doing a responsible thing. Birds of prey have guts of iron, they will eat on carcases for as long as it is still there. I have seen a red tail fly up from a dead deer that had been sitting for a week.....in summer. So don't worry about it hurting carroll. If the deer was just a couple hours from being hit.....maybe I would process for consumption.......but not 48 hrs. to high of a risk for meek human stomachs.
This was great, at least it didn't go to waste
7:46 Did he just say what the hell happened? :-))) Great channel dude.
Lmao! Holy crap Max, how many idiot lights can we get to come on on the dash at once @2:50
Donât think Iâve ever laughed so hard at someone slicing an animal in half lol đ
Great job! Definitely something good to do so it doesn't go to waste!
You actually done very good job considering you never done it before. Exactly how I'd do it
For your first time processing a deer.. you did great! Definitely wouldnât eat it but super pumped you made great use of of it and itâs always a great learning lesson for kids! Great video, laughed so hard at the part you were trying to close your canopy door and tailgate đđ
Totally the right thing to do dude. You showed some respect to something that died by feeding another animal. Also what beer are you drinking there? Cheers.
Thanks man. Drinking a Kona beer my friend. I havent found a beer of theirs I didnt loveđ»
@@Maxx.Powell sweet. I've tried the big wave they do and it's super nice. Just hard to find in the UK.
Itâs not weird at all glad you could use the deer meat instead of it being wasted. đ
I didn't know you were a fire fighter! My father has been in the fire service for over 20 years! Thank you for serving in the fire service.
âDonât tell him thatâ oops hello real life đ
Subscribed for carol, loving the truck and gun stuff!
You can substitute arms and legs with hams and shoulders...I bet Carol was happy with the meat!!! Great video!!! Waste not, want not. Not weird at all! I like your channel Maxx!!!
I think you made the right collecting the deer. I have known a few falconers who have collected roadkill for their birds. It is a totally normal thing.(At least for a falconer.) I am glad that the deer meat did not go to waste.
đ» to be honest man you did great! I had to explain to my daughter that I knew someone who died and she asked about and I just told her she passed away, she went to sleep forever and went to be with Jesus... not in a toxic religious way.
Great job, shame it sat for so long so you couldn't save more of the organs.
You could also raise quail, they're super cheap and excess males would make great feed for Carol!
I think you did the right thing. Making good use of that roadkill was admirable! Good job, dude.
Good job man! I think you did the right thing. Like you said, if you have the opportunity why not take it instead of letting the animal go to waste.
Stuffing the deer in the bed cracked me up.
max that was pretty awesome
Maxx love the channel, you did the right thing and not creepy at all. Good use came out of an unfortunate situation, good job on your first butcher job! Keep the content coming and hope you get the Can Am going or get the new Polaris XP Pro!
definitely the funniest video you've posted
It was harrowing to watch, but also very educational.
You are a serious comedian. I have never laughed so much. I love the NW you are just awesome. I really loved this. Most impressive. Taught all my daughter's how to skin then cape the head. They all thought it was gross.
Iâm glad I found this channel đ€đœ
Crazy video! I see absolutely nothing wrong with what you did man, especially since Carol will have food for daysssss now. Big fan of your videos btw!
I personally wouldnt eat it after it sitting for that long but you definitely did the right thing by salvaging it. I would do the same thing and not let it go to waste.
i hunt pigeons to feed my 4 carnivorous ferrets, i used to feel squimish but yea it gets easier, and ive collected roadkill for them, rabbit ect. make sure to deworm your pets often if feeding wild prey.
peace and love, liked.
You did the right thing in not letting it go to waste, itâs been sitting out too long you should not eat it! And you should get a gut hook it will make it a lot easier to gut.
You didnât do bad for your first time skinning a deer.đđŒ
Iâm eating pizza I donât mind that much.
Lmao this made my day max!
7:46 what the heâll happened hahah
Thank you đ. Great content brother
