Id like to learn to process my own deer | Page 6 | The Woodsman Hut | Forums

Next lift the front shoulder and start cutting into the armpit area. The shoulder will come off much easier than the haunch since there is no ball and socket joint in there. Basically just lift and cut.

You'll feel the section begin to separate pretty cleanly. Just keep lifting and cutting until it's off

Next we'll work on the haunch. This will be a little more challenging than the shoulder, since there is a joint you will need to cut through. Start in the inner thigh and cut until you hit the hip joint. You'll know when you get there because you're knife hit tough resistance.

Now, you'll need to flip your carcass and repeat these steps for the other side. (make a note that the scraps you have left over make excellent dog treats, trust me they'll love you forever)
