Nothing wrong or manipulated about it other than it was easier to take a screen shot with my mobile rather than try to reduce the file size on PC for SD upload. Picture taken 11/11/2004.Why does that picture not look real?![]()

For processing maybe one or two deer a year, on a budget, would people recommend a cheap electric mincer or a better quality hand mincer?
A friend of mine who just does a couple of deer per year for home consumption recently bought a pretty good quality (Trespade) hand mincer, and he's absolutely thrilled with it.For processing maybe one or two deer a year, on a budget, would people recommend a cheap electric mincer or a better quality hand mincer?
Ive got a cheap amazon "heavy duty" one that I've had for years and to be fair, it does the job. I replaced it with an indentical one recently because i misplaced a couple of bits it came with and Its probably done 15 year in the last few months alone. I have preference to the manual sausage stuffed however instead of the attachment on it.For processing maybe one or two deer a year, on a budget, would people recommend a cheap electric mincer or a better quality hand mincer?

Back in the day i remember thinking WTF. After starting to chop up a two year old Red spiker. Took me all day with limited knowledge. No saw one knife and no steel.I process every type of deer at home, munti, roe, fallow and reds, I am suprised to see people say reds are difficult, mine are southern reds, maybee more fat, but find them as easy as any other, now muntis are another level for skinning....
I picked up a buffalo mincer needing love for £130, best thing I bought for meat processing, yom, yom, yom, ohh is that it all done....

Bit rrrrrufff thatBack in the day i remember thinking WTF. After starting to chop up a two year old Red spiker. Took me all day with limited knowledge. No saw one knife and no steel.
Used an house brick to sharpen the knife,lol.
Lost count of how many Reds that ive chopped up over the years.
Kind of refined my butchering skills to some degree. But still at a amateurish level compared to some.
These days the only ones that I take a knife to are ones that are in there first year..
If you ever drop on the chance to butcher a large Red. Do it just for the experience.
You'll cope with anything after that.View attachment 454909

Most of the queries are simply because people don't bother to read the FSA document properly.* Before you start, I know the game meat rules are fairly straightforward in England but seems to provide a fairly steady source of queries here so it's obviously not that clear
True but the game laws ie the tag system mean North American hunters actually shoot very few deer per year so getting rid of venison shouldn’t really be an issueVaguely on topic I just read an interesting article from The Atlantic Archive version Here
You think we have it bad with game dealers offering a pittance, and complexity over game and game meat rules* and who can sell what but seems like selling wild venison you harvest is pretty much impossible in the states.
Like us, they import kiwi venison by the ton for high end restaurants while they have a deer problem at home
