  • Steve Graf shows you how to bone out a deer, the venison processing way. Muscle groups are dissected without cutting across the muscle themselves. The footage is taken from The Graf Boys dvd - Hunting for a Living - 1997. New footage, and historic stuff like this, are loaded on to the tvwild.co.nz website, weekly.

    I NEVER comment on any youtube videos...I felt so compelled to comment on this that I just had to. This is the best, most informative video I have ever seen on here. Someone that's not lazy, and actually understands the geometry and mechanics of how an living animal works when butchering. It's what I strive for as well.
    Well done! I see too much waste because people can't be bothered to understand anatomy. Easier for them to hack out choice cuts and throw the rest away.
    It should be a point of pride for any hunter to be able to say they respected the life they took and harvested to the best of their ability.

    Heh. Everyone keeps asking about the knife. It looked that easy because the guy is skilled at doing it, not because he was using some top quality knife. He's using a $30 folding knife (Mercator), but he's using it with skill, and doing something he's done likely hundreds, if not thousands, of times.

    A true clinic on how to skin and bone a deer. I wish I had your skill (and your knife.) We prep our deer in a similar way when It is a long "drag" to get them out of the back-country. What we do afterwards is to lace up the hide (like an American football, ) with a length of rope, attach a swivel like you would use on a dog leash, attach a pulling rope and drag the meat out that way. The bundle of meat can roll back and forth, will stay clean and be protected. This works great if you are a long way from camp and do not have an ATV or horse at your disposal. Thanks for your great video!
