If you’re interested in how to butcher your own deer harvests, you might like this illustrated deer meat guide.
This illustration by artist Nadia van der Donk shows where the different cuts of meat come from on a deer.
A single deer can provide a lot of meat that can last for months if rationed properly. The hide can also be used for a wall hanging or carpet.Butchering at home requires a lot more than a deer meat guide. You’ll need the right knives for skinning the hide, a hacksaw, wet stone and gloves for cleanliness.
Plus, the process can get a little dirty, so having a safe place to do it without risking a seriously messed up kitchen is key.
If you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll be much better off taking it to a deer processing facility or experienced butcher.
But, if you’re up for the challenge of learning how to do it, this handy guide will help out big time.
Getting a deer from the field to the freezer starts with properly field dressing the animal. Make sure to store and hang the meat in a cool and dry environment that is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Meat should hang for at least five days to ensure the meat gets tender.

When you crave certain foods your body may need something.
Food cravings can seem strong enough to pick you up and carry you straight to the refrigerator or convenience store independent of your will and better judgment. For many women, cravings are especially intense in the week or so before menstruation. But many men, older women, teens and children can have strong cravings too. Let’s look at what is behind this force. Naturopathic physician Tori Hudson, ND, describes the condition as a mild malnutrition, certainly not with severe overt consequences as say scurvy or rickets. Rather, a great many people on the Standard American Diet (SAD in more ways than one) suffer from a milder malnutrition from eating only depleted, processed foods and not enough whole, nutrient-rich foods.
As a result, we end up craving the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that we lack. But while your body may know that you are missing for example potassium, your conscious mind is not aware of the flavor of potassium. Instead, because of familiarity, you can reminisce and feel hungry for the flavor of salty foods, which are high in another cation, sodium, and which have their appeal partly rooted in sodium and potassium. The salty foods that your conscious mind desires has its greatest ability to quench those cravings due to the salty foods’ high sodium content.
