What happens here

Once field-dressed, the deer carcass is transported to a processing area, in this case, a garage, and hung upside down by its hind legs. This vertical position utilizes gravity to assist in both skinning and subsequent butchering. The lower portions of the legs are then removed at the knee and hock joints using a sharp knife. This streamlines the skinning process and prepares the carcass for further breakdown.

Goal: Set up the deer for efficient skinning and butchering
