Stealth Stalker Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Well after a fantastic stalk yesterday with the Peltman, he came round this morning to guide me through the butchery process. We hung him up in a doorway & Pelty removed the head & started skinning, after the rump was clear it was my turn with the blade on what he said was the difficult area (cheers mate) Skinned showing bullet entry Bullet exit He then went through all the different cuts from the carcass Thanks for showing me the ropes, taking me out yesterday & running through the butchery process today & most of all fiiling my fridge with a tasty haul of fresh venison. You really are a top geezer I owe you a few alchohol free beers The funny of the day came from my elderly japanese neighbour as he came down the path & saw Pelty covered in claret weilding a massive knife & he says "vewy big wabbit" Cheers Stealth Stalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one thing, i hope you didn't put your Landy back together as well as you did the Monkey or your Doors would be opening the wrong way And for all you stalkers out there no my shot placement was not that far back, as you can see in the picture of the Buck hanging up.

beatingisbest Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 good job looks like you were using a big calibre gun by the size of those wounds Was a .243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Given it was England where it was shot, and the minimum specs for deer, it had to be a .243 100grn at least, which would be obvious to anyone Small deer, and yes they don't need anything like that to kill them cleanly which is why its so. Hopefully when people see sense, like in Scotland, the .22 CF cals will be seen as acceptable for such small deer Well done pelty and SS, I am well jealous, good do all round lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Given it was England where it was shot, and the minimum specs for deer, it had to be a .243 100grn at least, which would be obvious to anyone Pin in England it,s any soft nosed or hollow nosed bullet The bullet weight you are referring to is for Scotland Some good looking joints of venison there.well done fellas GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Well done lads, that meat should make very good eating. As for calibres, the smaller calibres will rip them up as well, if not more If minimal meat damage is the no1 priority large, slow bullets are used. The only people I know who shoot for best butcher prices shoot 7x57's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 I wouldn't worry about it Pin, there is far more **** spoken on here by people who know considerably less than you Just noticed in picture 3 (the airfix kit munty picture) the ribcages have been reversed, as it is, it looks like the shot went back a bit, which it clearly didn't.

v-max Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hello & well done it's great to see you got good help as it's top meat & given respect or any game realy rabbit's/pheasant's etc.There is many way's to do this & break down a beast as i keep all my roe i kill & mince etc.I some time's cut from bum to neck down the spinal cord & do fit i do.Or front leg's off I then trim the rib's to the edge of saddle all the way down to front as i still get good saddle above shoulder's on my roe.I then saw off just forward of the shoulder's near to base of neck then if you feel at the haunche's to ward's the front of the beast end you find a bone that curve's round to the pelvic bone.I cut in there to cut off the whole saddle on the bone then cut into 2/3 bit's for roasting or you can take it off as a fillet.I then either mince haunche's or steak them depend's on fit i need.I will do pic's next time & put up might help understand more.

Dunkield Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hence the coment at the bottom of my post PELTMAN Oh yer I read that now.... Trouble is, I am reading this in the office and I have a few 'interesting' things pop up on my screen, blood and guts could attract some negative responses so Ihave to fast forward through these sort of posts. But I do know that if my dog was in bits I wouldn't ask SS to put it back together again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
