Hi Martin, top notch post. I'm sure both new and old stalkers will learn something from the article, I know I did.

Martin

Many thanks for such an informative, well-written, and well-illustrated post - you must have had a lot of patience to put this together as you've done a grand job.

I have one question that I'm hoping you (or someone else on the forum) might be able to help with.

When I butcher deer I've been taught to remove the lymph node that is located between the three major muscle groups in the haunch, when I bone it out. Do you happen to know what the correct name is for this particular lymph node?

You can see the ones I mean on this diagram, marked as "lymph nodes in/near joints": http://www.uwex.edu/ces/cty/lincoln/ag/documents/common_sense2004.pdf

And yes, I know this is a whitetail

reMington, thanks for taking the time and trouble, great pictures as well. Just out of interest, how long would you reckon to process one like that without the photos? Cheers, Pete.

about 1 hour max

Really useful, I've done it once and it was a real trial and error effort. However, thinking about the muscle groups helped, as well as having a mincer for all of the bits I didn't get off as cleanly as I should have!
