Spin Your Hunting Spoils Into Delicious Meals Through Deer Meat Processing

By Scott Richardson


While the hunt itself is what brings the greatest thrill for most hobbyists, deer meat processing is the daunting task that is left waiting when the fun is over. For a hunter to deal with their own, it required both a lengthy commitment and getting messy as well as a skilled hand, an extremely big area to do the work in, and much frustration throughout the process. To take this annoying a messy task off your table, turn to a specialist who knows how to handle processing deer to deal with it instead.

Deer processors are certified professionals who are top notch butchers in general.However, what sets these experts apart from other butchers is the fact that they specialize in venison. They know how to take an animal apart smoothly and quickly, turning out cuts in any manner that is requested of 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.

Regardless of whether your hunting hobby is merely for sport, or for feeding your loved ones, as the season comes to a close you can count on being saddled with hundreds of pounds of unprocessed venison. Unlike grocery store meat, it will need to be processed and handled from scratch, lest it goes to waste before ever being portioned out. Choosing the right deer processing professional is the easiest way to not only ensure that your hard work in the forest was not in vain, but that your loved ones will have access to good quality meat for a whole season.
