  • In this clip Steve Graf uses his experience (butchered 1000's of deer as a venison butcher for Venex - New Zealand) to show you a great way of butchering your deer, in the bush.

    My husband just butchered a deer for the first time and learned alot from your video! We are enjoying the food this winter.

    That is the best field butchering I have ever seen. I will definitely watch it again and add it to my favorites. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill.

    Thanks for teaching me. I deboned one of my lambs today and used your technique. It is now my favorite method.

    You were scaring me with that knife, but by far the best butchering video I have seen. I especially like your technique to debone the back legs... I tried it and it was a huge improvement over my previous method. Thank you.

    Well done the only video up to now that i have seen taking the whole Eye Fillet out which has the top part of the fillet in the leg joint to the thigh bone.
    Well done and a top video,5*

    I have been butchering my own deer for years and years. I still enjoy learning how others do it though and this has to be one of the best videos I have seen on the subject in a long while. I even learned one or two better cuts than I normally use! Good video.

  • @shanegiggie
    @shanegiggie Před 9 lety

    Excellent de-boning skills shown here.This is really how to do it folks.
    He should have shown how to hang it up and skin it too,but for de-boning, this video is good.
    The fly issue can be taken care of by packing a sheet of cheese cloth,to lay over the meat.
    Also,a fillet knife can be used for de-boning.
    The meat needs to be refrigerated right away.Ice cubes in plastic bags,packed around the meat in a cooler,can work until you get it home.In Canada,its usually cold enough in deer season,we can hang it up outside in natures fridge.

  • @StephenCooteNZ
    @StephenCooteNZ Před 9 lety

    What a great video. Thank you. I've butchered heaps of game meat, but next time I want to use some of the refinements you've demonstrated. What a wonderful resource of organic free-range meat we have here in New Zealand... even some of our possums can be wonderfully tender and delicious. Thanks for all you are doing to look after our wonderful hunting-gathering heritage, something all our ancestors were part of since the beginning of time. Good to see a Mercator knife in action... they poke a hole through pockets, but the steel and blade shape are excellent. I remember seeing a box of these in an old hardware store priced at only 95 cents each... should have bought the lot. Best wishes from Nelson, NZ.

    Outstanding, very tidy. I've always bone saw through the spine and made T bone chops, then remove the legs for roasting, but in 16 min you made that look so easy. All done in the field, a more manageable carry to the ATV, and the old girl can't complain about any mess. I'm going to watch that again.

  • @WyColoCowboy
    @WyColoCowboy Před 10 lety +1

    Nice job doing that in the field. I usually only have to butcher in the field when I take an elk deep in the back-country. Then I bone that puppy out and pack it out in several trips. I liked your method on the rib meat - very quick and effective! Cheers and good hunting from Colorado!

    Awsome butchering! I have studied your technique for my next kill. I found it interesting how you removed the meat off the ribs. I haven't seen that done before.
    More hunters would not waste meat knowing how easy it can be.

    @MRxr400 Před 9 lety +2

    nice work. people can get so intense on how to butcher an animal, whether bones are left clean etc. At the end of the day, you got 98% of the meat available and pretty quickly too. I'd be rushing with the amount of flies too. What about flapping the skin over to cover the meat, suppose you could flick dirt up over the meat by doing so. Tying skin into a bag maybe. I was waiting for the weight of the other leg to pull the shin up over the branch, didn't happen ;)

  • @XRHNIKO36

      Ha ha. Yes, you could be right. We should have had a disclaimer ... This is how to cut up the deer, but because of the amount of 1080 poison dropped across NZ forests, we recommend not eating it!

    @musicheadt Před 10 lety

    Some of your other commenters seem to think flies/ticks don't land on live animals, before they go to the butcher,to commit suicide before they turn into what they purchase at the supermarket. Nice tutorial. Deer are not endangered. ON the contrary, they are flourishing in most parts of the world. (US, Canada, and Russia) according to land based area statistics)

  • @ryankelley85091
