Thread: Gutting and cutting your venison, etc.

lots of good advice on here big yes to tying of anal tube and food tube at front - makes for neat job - the big one to watch for learning to gut is the bladder - dont poke knife in to far when cutting around anus in case bladder is full - always easy to do rear end with deer hung up- but I lay deer on its back and lift up hindquarters and prop them between my knees makes it a bit easier - most of my deer these days are fallow so I tend to just do backsteaks and hind quarters - after a 308 or 222 thru shoulder not much use boning that out - camped out cant say enough for the lite weight meat safes they really are a game changer and super light to carry - the zips though can be flimsy - and wash well in dish washing liquid when home dry thoroughly - me mate forgot left it on garage floor - found it a week later and mesh was stuffed - good eating starts with gutting and care from then on - cold and dry are your friend - wet and warm are the enemy
