palmer_mike Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 ok, so i might be counting my chickens a bit here but i guess i need to be prepared. I'm interested in doing a bit of deer stalking and have booked up on a muntjac stalk. It's accompanied (just as well as i have no exp of deer stalking), so i guess the guy taking me will assist/guide me in doing the initial gralloch (if i'm successful). The carcass is included in the price of the stalk tho and i presume it will be left to me to sort it out (butcher + skin etc). I have no idea where to even start with this so any pointers of what i should do with the beast once i get it home would be great. PS is there a good book i could follow instructions from?

mpk Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Countywide sell a book called " a hunters guide to cooking game " for a fiver and it details the whole butchery process from start to finish may be worth a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer_mike Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 some good videos on youtube too Just been on youtube and watched skinning (think i can get my head round this). When it comes to butchery though it's alot more involved than i expected. Watched a series of videos with a guy butchering a roe carcass. Guess a muntjac would be the same but on a smaller scale? Might wander down the road to the butchers shop to see if he'll do me a favour? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich 1970 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Brilliant post! I always wondered what was involved in preparing deer, biggest I ever did was a rabbit and that ended up looking like it had spilled Mike Tysons pint.
