looking for a step by step process after the shot, suspended gralloch and butchering

[AJ#]

Looking for a step by step process of how to carry out a suspended gralloch and more importantly the butchering side later at home. I have done all this, but wasnt my finest work and just like something that i can reference against to check im doing it all correct. Think i seen something here but cant seem to find it now.

YouTube and practice, practice, practice.

Find a friend to teach you once, pay attention, and then become an expert through doing it many times yourself

If you don’t have any friends, YouTube is a friend

I have a series of pictures that I took in sequence when I was butchering a roe buck to show someone. Nothing fancy but if you'd like them just send me your number.

Cheers, Rory

Scott Rea on YouTube for butchering tips

If you can find copies, the BDS did a couple of DVDs with the legendary Chris Howard & Mike Robinson.

The first was called “Gralloching from Field to Larder” & the second was called “Skin, Butcher, Cook”.

They will take you through everything you need to know step by step.

Maybe @BDS - Charity Account can advise on whether these are still available to buy or perhaps download?

There was a rather good vid from the stalking show 2026 on how to break down a haunch.

Can’t seem to find it - could someone repost it pls.

When you have the fur off and a haunch on the board, look at the lines in the muscle group it is like a basic map
Dice the front legs and run a knife down both sides of the spine and hold the knife against the ribs and the loins peel off as you go.

It is not a black art just follow the lines God put there

Nice sharp tripe knife

John Griffin taking a deer to bits. Uses an alternative skinning method.

Scott Rhea videos are excellent too. More detail of the different cuts

The Deer Initiative online guides are well worth a read. YouTube is also your friend. However, you really need to practice to be proficient. Whilst I’m by no means an expert I taught myself to butcher what I’d shot. Be warned, bigger species are hard work!

I am not butchering in the field, but I still find this an efficient process. I put the cuts straight in the kitchen and use the hide to
Roll up the chopped up skeleton before bagging and binning. My kindling axe serves double duty for that.
Take a look at this video, 'new zealand field butcher deer'
