Wear gloves while skinning and ditch the skin ASAP.

It went down a treat with myself, the Mrs and two two year olds on top of hot chips as loaded fries. I can post the recipe if anyone is interested?
P. S. It's gluten and dairy free (allergies)

Your stag would have been better before the rut. Any breeding age male animals are bad eating and esp during the breeding period, Rams even young ones are a disaster if they have been rooting unless you like 'Ram Taint'. Stags are a bit different to Boars, Billys, male rabbits etc because their testosterone level is low during velvet growth then increases from Feb on towards the Rut. So they are best Nov to early March
