Hunting Spoils Become Gourmet Caliber Meals Thanks To Deer Meat Processing

By Scott Richardson


After the thrill of the hunt, every hunter knows that the most daunting to do on their own is deer meat processing. It is a lengthy and messy process that requires a lot of room, dedication, and frustration to get right. This is why to make things easier and more efficient, every hunter should look for a processing outfit to take the spoils of their effort to in order to have this task taken care of for them.

Deer processing professionals are excellent butchers who know their way around the knife. However, their ace in the hole is the fact that unlike other butchers, they can handle a full size deer just as easily as any other animal. Their unique skills allow them to process an animal very fast, delivering all the cuts you want the way you asked for them.

One cut that most hunters love is any type of large roast. Sections of the shoulder, neck, and leg are all popular choices for low and slow roasts. A processor can leave some or all of these pieces entirely whole, sowing the seeds for a slew of future weekend dinners with your family.

Steaks are also an extremely popular type of cut that hunters seek out. Keep in mind that all these animals have roughly the same anatomy as cows do, only with sweeter, leaner meat. As a result, the butcher can slice up cuts like sirloins and rib eyes amongst others at any thickness level you might want.

The ribs are another great cut that is highly sought after to be processed in a variety of ways. It is not uncommon to ask for long cut ribs, short cut ribs, a rib eye roast with the bones in it, or a little of everything. Simply ask and this area will be portioned out for stewing, braising, grilling, and roasting as you see fit.

Processed meats are another popular item that you can request from a processing specialist. It is easy for them to take any cut from the animal you want and grind it into burger with a specific meat to fat content. They can even take it a step further and turn the ground venison into various types of sausage.

Butchers can sometimes cure, smoke, and even cook up cuts for your family. Common choices include bacon, ham, or any number of other cuts roasted up or smoked. Enjoy these treats now or freeze with your other raw meat for later.

Whether you hunt for sport or to feed your family, you can bet that by the end of the season, you are going to wind up with several hundred pounds of fresh meat. Unlike what you buy at the grocery store, this meat needs to be processed from scratch or else it will just wind up spoiling and going to waste. Choosing a deer processing specialist is the best way to guarantee that your efforts in the woods were not for nothing and as a result, your family will have high quality meat for an entire season.
