Unusual Use of Deer Carcass & Parts

During a recent chat with a good friend & fellow hunter currently traveling in China, he mentioned he had the unpleasant experience to try 'three pizzle wine' made from as it states 3 deer pizzles, it's apparently good for memory and used as a tonic for muscle injuries, anyone tried it?:-|
i am not at all impressed with or condone in any way some of the Chinese medicine traditions that utilize our endangered species and the animal cruelty they favor, however some of there age old medicinal knowledge has proved itself in modern medicine and so i believe it should be available to those who wish to try it.

I wondered just how much of the carcass from our deer we actually use? we all i am sure are aware of the need in times gone by of more than just the venison for meat, does anyone on this forum utilize bone, antler, hide, blood, sinew, etc? May be interesting to hear of your experiences.

Nothing like a bit of black pudding ,you got a special recipe? or is it a typical style?

i just use a simple black pudding recipe that you would use for pig blood. It's quite a job so I try and make a lot all at once then vac pack it.
 
sounds good,how do you do that?

I use the recipe and method from this site

http://www.sausagelinks.co.uk/?s=black+pudding

but I add half as much again of the spices otherwise it comes out a little bland.

I just collect blood bit by bit (only from head/neck shot deer) and freeze it as I go until I have enough, then thaw it and strain it through a cloth.

A teaspoon of vinegar per pint of blood prevents clotting (doesn't stop it all together) but a few clots are no big issue.
 
before the bse we had to strip bulls wallopers right in , they used to hang them and dry them out to make walking sticks apparently also the meat inspectors used to save the gall stones from old coo,s ,they used to go to the chinese for medicene or cures
 
How about some deer jaw bone designer sunglasses?

Or, you can polish your shoes with a deer bone!


Antler catapults are another novel idea:

Obsidian flint knapped knives with antler handles are quite special and also very functional! The all-new ceramic knives are not such a 'new idea' when you look at these!

Nice one, will try that on my brogues, i have a Saami friend who insists that the knife he made me will never need to again be sharpened (unless tragically blunted or damaged)...just honed on a small bit of either deer antler or as he gave me some, reindeer Antler.
 
As a pro stalker everything apart from the carcase was our perks, hard antler not required as trophy's 0r cast antler picked up sold and used for various purposes, early season antler in velvet, pizzles, tails (gland) sinews
from legs all sold for eastern medicine.

Leg bones sold to hunt for polishing riding boots, tusks sold for making jewelry, plucks went with carcase to game dealers but the stalker was payed for these not the estate.
