Deer hunting rant

Mopar to ya said
So ... guess who got to butcher the deer? I was telling them of the way I skin deer. I hang the deer by the neck, roll the hide down a bit at the neck, roll in a tennis ball, tie the winch cable from the ATV around the ball and pull in the winch. It strips the hide off fast and easily. They were interested, so I did them both. They asked how I butcher the deer. They said they hang them and quarter them and cut out the back straps while hanging. I tell them I find it easier to do with the deer on a table. So I have to show them. I ended up butchering both deer and cutting all the roasts, etc... they very graciously washed all the meat after it was done - five hours later. Now I have to go up next week with all my sausage making equipment and grinder. I'm pretty sure I will be doing all the work and I am positive I'll end up buying the pork to mix it with. Definitely the first and last time I hunt with them.

I've heard of skinning deer this way, just never tried it. We always hang them by their rear legs to clean them. Sorry about your troubles; they sound like most people nowadays. Just wanting a handout. Have you ever tried just olive oil (or grapeseed oil, canola oil, ect) in your hamburger? (If you do hamburger too) Works great and doesn't add the fatty taste to the meat. We grill deer burgers at parties and people are always surprised at how much better our burgers are than beef. And the patties don't shrink on the grill, you just gotta figure out how much oil it takes to hold the burgers together. Hope your friends make themselves useful with the meat processing for your sake.
