Deer Hunting- How To Clean a Deer

What happens here

After removing the head and front legs, the hide is manually pulled off the entire carcass. This is done by grasping the hide firmly and pulling downwards, separating it from the underlying muscle. The narrator then focuses on removing the windpipe, located in the neck/chest cavity. This is critical because if air enters the windpipe and then leaks out around the meat, it can cause the meat to spoil or develop an off-flavor. Using a knife, carefully cut and extract the windpipe from the carcass.

Goal: Completely remove the hide and prevent meat spoilage by removing the windpipe.
