Id like to learn to process my own deer | Page 4 | The Woodsman Hut | Forums

then you sort of grasp the backbone, and run your thumb along the underside of the tenderloin. You'll feel a bunch of tiny sinews popping as the meat separates from the bone. Toy will do this same process along the side with the spine as well.

Dunk that beautiful cut of meat in some water...

Drain the excess (we used a colander)

And wipe the excess water off, shop towels work great for this by the way because they tend to catch any hairs you may have missed in the washing process.

Also, no jokes about my hairline, it's bad enough as it is

Why didnt you do most of this with the deer hanging? I found when I did it, skinning, with it hanging was done in possibly less than two minutes.

With the actual meat removal, laying down is better. Although, backstraps and tenderloins would be easier with it hanging too. Both just fell right off when I did it with the deer hanging.
