Deer Hunting- How To Clean a Deer

What happens here

The deer is then transported to a processing area, in this case, a garage. The deer is hung head first from a frame to allow any remaining blood and fluids to drain out. After draining, the deer is flipped and hung by its hind legs. This position makes it easier to skin and process. Initial cuts are made with a hunting knife to begin separating the hide from the muscle tissue. The narrator notes that a fresh deer is significantly easier to skin.

Goal: Prepare the deer for full skinning and further processing.

Tools and materials

  • Hanging Frame/Hoist — Suspending the deer for draining and processing
  • Hunting Knife — Making precise cuts to separate the hide
