Could always shoot it then call the game warden to help gut it. I'm sure they would be more than willing to lend a hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sundevil777 102 #8 February 17, 2007 Kill them all, use a homemade silencer (pillow on the end) so your neighbors don't hear or whatever, but kill as many as you can. They are a great danger to all motorists. One almost killed me. Kill them. They aren't endangered, likely no predators depend on them.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

warpedskydiver 0 #9 February 17, 2007 All you need is a good knife to gut, skin, and butcher, a deer. Gutting takes about two minutes Hang the deer head down with a gimble between the rear legs hooked through the tendon pockets Skin deer while still warm if possible, it will come off like pajamas. Then remove the head by speperating the spinal column between two vertabrae. Next remove all the tallow and front quarters by getting in behind the muscle groups first with a finger and then your knife run flat to the carcass. Remove the tenderloins and don't fuck it up!!! remove the inner skirt steak (like a small flat tenderloin) great for breakfast! then remove the rear quarters by carefully excising the area about the hip joint and insert the knife carefullyinto the socket over the femoral condial, cutting the tendon and minicus. Then you can carefully cut a circle around the ankes of the four legs and snap them off with your hands. Processing the meat needs to be done on a nice flat table that is easy to clean and has enough light over it. You will need several bowls to put meat into. Cut apart the muscle groups into roasts and or stew meat and use all the small stuff for burger. wrap all the meat in plastic wrap before wrapping in butcher paper. Properly done it will last in the freezer a year. BTW deer season is over and poaching is a seriou crime. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll let a jumper who hunts spend a few days at my house to shoot deer. Just gimme beer and jump tix. I'll bring my truck right over. It has killed 3 deer. I have a nice band saw in the basement. Never ate much venison til my husband moved to Wisconsin. I've developed a pretty good taste for it since. I'm thinking about buying an Elmer Fudd hat with the ear flaps. How do you think I would look in that?skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 35 #11 February 17, 2007 I had 4 deer in my backyard earlier this week, 3 does and a 6-8 point buck. I don't see them very often, so it's a treat when they do show up. I live in a sleepy town on a river and there's all kinds of wildlife to see.

jimmytavino 16 #13 February 17, 2007 deer are cool... don't see as many in the woods out back as we used to... this thread reminds me of a story.. which you pry have ALL heard.... anyway,, These 2 Polish Guys are out hunting,,, Stavros accidently shoots George and so is beside himself with guilt and grief... he promises george that he will save him, and so drags his buddy outta the woods to a local hospital... After working on George for 2 hours.. the Doctor finally comes out and Stavros says, " Doc. Doc. Is he OK.??" and the doctor says " he'll be allright but that was a tough, tough case..... It would have been a lot easier though,,, if you hadn't . . . . . field-dressed him, first !" >.hahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snowwhite 0 #16 February 17, 2007 I had a HUGE hawk in my backyard last week. He sat on the fence at the end of the yard for a good hour to hour and a half. The sparrows in the feeder were very nervous. Every time the hawk would turn his head toward the feeder they all flew away and then came back within seconds. He was looking for bigger stuff in my neighbors yard apparently.skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will winter but it will soon be spring so I can understand your problem with not knowing how to dress the deer. Perhaps a new issue of Comopolitan will give you a few ideas.
