Thread: Hanging deer/pigs for preparation?

When in the Bush do it on the ground lying down.

A young guy I was hunting with shot a hind a few weeks back at 4.15pm. Gets dark around 5 in Bush and we were still about 1km away from a marked track. Told him this had to be done and dusted in 10 mins and we go full tit down hill.

Start with a hind leg, keeping skin on and working along the join slicing carefully not to get near the gut sack. Hit the ball joint and you now have one leg. Remove knuckle.

Take back steak out.

Start on front leg working behind shoulder blade. Remove knuckle again.

Repeat on other side and that's it.

I don't bother with tenderloins unless I have time and the animal is big.

End result was we hit the track at 5.15pm. Sweat coming out of all sorts of places. Not as young as I use to be I told myself as I hit the track. And not wise enough to give the young guy the heavy pack.
