great reference

Great reference for getting the most from your animal. Covers everything from before the shot to field care, processing, storage and eating. Helpful illustrations. Very thorough and informative. Useful for hunters in Northern & Southern climates. Highly recommended.

Excellent book

This is a good book on handling and processing a deer. It has good narrative, O.K. photos and recipes. This was purchased for my first deer and I found it extremely helpful. Karen

Excellent Book, covers everything

This is by far the best book on proper game processing techniques I've read to date.

Butchering Deer

An excellent reference covering much more than just the butchering aspect. The book discusses handling the meat from the time of the kill. the handling in the field, the proper way to gut the deer, protecting the meat from contamination from insects, proper aging, and finally a step by step discussion on butchering, wrapping, and storage. I give this book Five Stars. The gutting aspect differs from many other books and in my opinion is superior to other methods. I found this most informative.

A Must Own For Any Hunter!

This easy to understand book not only educates the reader on the actual butchering of his game, but gives advice on how to make that meat all it can be before it hits the table! The illustrations and photos are the best part of this book. Like a bible for game butchering, this book will save me time in the field and money from bypassing the processing shop!
