Quote: Cmon over. We'll have a BYC DeerStock. There's plenty of chicken, turkey and quail here too for those who don't care for deer.

Quote: I have a pot of interesting cuts, including the ones from inside the rib cage, in a pot of salt water now. Tomorrow night, when my wife isn't home, we will try a few pieces. I may even try to deep fry a piece. I deep fry pork chops and OMG are they good. When ya all say "Gamey" I...

Quote: Ok Chel, I'm glad you said that is ok. Drumstick took over 200 pics. We took this whole thing very seriously, unlike culling a silkie. Thanks!

Quote: All the roasts are frozen now. I have a pot full of small cuts brining in the fridge and the neck, backbone, and ribs on ice. Dang, I gotta go to work.

Quote: In CT if you hit it it's yours. I didn't hit it. Someone else did and it ran onto my property. It made it 50 feet from the road before is crouched down due to a broken leg. The person who hit it reported it and then drove away.

Quote: I will try that. What spices do you recommend I use? How about the ribs?

Quote: I'm refraining from calling it roadkill for mental reasons. It wasn't killed on the road, it just sustained an injury. It was killed by a bullet in my back yard. Now that dead possum with the flies and vultures on it we had for dinner last week was roadkill.

Quote: Surprisingly there was no smell at all. I know a deer has scent glands on the lower legs but I removed those. I also wore rubber gloves and threw all my clothes in the wash and me in the shower right after I processed it. It was a young doe too and we don't have corn around here...

The two backstraps are in the freezer but someone told me the neck wasn't worth it. The backbone, including the neck, and ribs are still on ice so I'll look closer tomorrow. Thankfully I still have time to check out the neck. You folks all know your deer. Butchering it was sorta fun. It...

OK, after last night's adventure in gutting and skinning tonight me and the kid butchered it. We have two HUGE roasts from the back thighs, 2 small roasts from the front, and 2 long roasts from the meat that runs down both sides of the spine all in the freezer. In a pot we have all the scraps...

Rte.66_chicks : You might think that the photos are graphic, but we put photos of chicken processing here all the time. It's been a long time since I have killed and processed a deer, and I, for one, would like to see them. Maybe you could put them in with an update and "graphic pics" warning...

Quote: Should I hang it now that it's just a carcus? It's gonna get in the 50's here today so I'm gonna get it on ice later or will hanging in a 40 degree barn be ok? Thanks for the recipe ideas. I'm drooling a little. Deer burgers sound yummy.

Thanks again for all the words of encouragement everyone. This was a wierd situation. Today I'll figure out the butchering thing.

Quote: Yuck!!! PC, I don't know if I would brave eating a deer that I didn't freshly shoot...but that's just me....I also don't order seafood unless I'm in sight of a beach...good luck!!! The deer was alive when I found it. It's lower back leg was broken. The poor thing was trying to run...

I'm gonna guess and say the processed part weighs 60 pounds, maybe more if the pain my back is in means anything. I've never even tasted venison. It's been an interesting day. I do have pics of the gutting but don't think I should put them on BYC. They are graphic. My "Northern" wife...

Thank you SO MUCH to all of you. I got through it with the help of my son holding the flashlight and clicking away with the camera. It wasn't bad at all. I took a sharp pocket knife, cut the skin down the abdomen, sliced open the chest cavity, didn't rupture any internals, sawed the chest...

Ok, I just read the page EggChel referenced and watched a youtube video Birdboy sent me. I am going to attempt to gut it. Deep breath..... Buck-Wild I wish you or PP were here to help. Another Deep Breath.....

Thanks all. It was just euthanized(shot) 5 minutes before I posted this. The officer came to my door to tell me we had an injured deer on the property. I found it then called him over. The doe had both back legs broken but was very much alive. The officer dispatched the poor animal with his...

A deer was just struck by a car and ended up on our property. It's hind legs were destroyed. A local Police Officer Euthanized it and said I could have it or just leave it and it would be picked up. I actually was the one to find it. I swear I knew this was going to happen this year. I'm...
