Whitetail Deer Processing D.I.Y.

The season is here and now its time to harvest the bounty of the woods and go get a deer for the table. Many hunters would like to process their own deer but think it takes too much time work and effort. It does take a commitment to the process but it is the best way to get the most out of the meat you are going to be eating in the next year. An excellent guide for processing your own deer is available from deercook.com. Its like 5 videos in one;it covers field dressing, skinning, cutting, conditioning, and storing your meat. Most processors are too busy to be as concerned about your deer as you are so take matters into your own hands and start doing it yourself. Save the time the money and the multiple trips to the processor by getting a video like "Peeling Deer" and start being in control of the prime meat you have taken the time to get for yourself. Be sure to take at least one doe this year and see the difference int the quality of the meat. If we don't take the does and try to reduce the deer numbers then nature will do it itself as seen this year by the number of blue tongue diseased deer that died this summer because of over population. Help the herd by harvesting more deer and learning how to process the deer yourself.
