I'm surprised at how calm and cooperative the deer is being during the entire process! Amazing video, 10/10
832cris yeah it’s hard to imagine the cow in the burger I just ate was this cooperative!!!
😂
Um yea so calm it’s almost like it’s dead😂
@Kitsalp Srewolf you brought politics into this, then tried to play the victim? Cmon now.
My God he's trained that deer exceptionally well! Give it all the carrots later when he wakes up! :D
I remember watching this video 7 years ago on my phone in the middle of a hay field after shooting my first archery deer and didn’t have my dad there to help. Thank you Steve!
Lmao probably should’ve done that before
@@austen9556 doubt it
@@austen9556 best way to learn is to do it. Even if it is in the moment, gotta learn some how
@@austen9556 I don't know about you, but learning techniques beforehand always never works out for me, I'd rather learn it as I do it. That way, I'm retaining knowledge by doing it as well, not just by pure memory.
Thank god for cell reception.
This video being a million years old I doubt you'll ever see this. 3 years ago I took my first deer. I'd always wanted to get in the hunting but I came from a fishing family not a hunting family. Your video is what allowed me to field dress my first deer and three more afterwards. My first one was so good that my butcher gave me praise. It's hard getting into a new sport after 30 and I just want to say I really appreciate the knowledge you've shared.
Good job! Now the next step for you might be skipping the butcher processing yourself. It pretty easy once you get a couple under your belt. Its so rewarding to be self reliant thru the whole process. Plan, Hunt, gut, hang, cut and wrap, put in the freezer! For me that kind of food tastes the best!
I’m in the same boat. Over 30 getting into hunting for the first time For the same reasons wade williamson mentioned above. Hopefully this video comes in handy.
37 and this is my first season. I’m already planning a trip for elk, Ram, hog and bison this year. Elk hunting…. $7k for the kill, crazy expensive but these are all going to be wall pieces for me
Here I am at 49.....this will be my first season hunting.
So much to learn and so many great people with teachings.
@@madmaxx5612 just made it through mine and I’ll tell ya, takes a special kind of person to sit hours on end doing absolutely nothing. I can’t do it. I’m going to pay to hunt on guided tours next year. Game lands are terrible around me.
As a 16 year old city kid who has always wanted to hunt, this was hard to watch. But It was also very intriguing. This will definitely be the hardest part for me when i do eventually get my first successful hunt. But this video is very informational, very simply formatted without any bull crap in between. Thank you steve 10 years later.
yeah ive seen dead bodies in stuff so i can get used to gore but still not used to it
I’m the same way - always lived in the city but want to get closer to my food - why should I be eating it if I couldn’t kill it myself. When I go hunting and if I kill a deer and it doesn’t feel right, I’ll stop eating meat because I cannot just outsource that feeling to a soulless factory farm but I believe I will love it like you have. I would love to hear more about your experience, can you respond to this if you’d be interested to talk more about the process for you? I really have trouble with this stuff but I know getting out there and doing it, it will become normal and right. It’s not right that I’m removed from the very real process of where my food comes from, it’s like living a lie
37 year old man who has dealt with animals quite a bit. This was hard to watch for me too. But I've been wanting to get into hunting and planning a homestead soon. Just something you have to dive into and get used to. Getting closer to where your food comes from brings you back to nature.
Its not gore and its onoy hard to watch because you didnt put the work in to take the deer yourself. When youre respectful of the animal and respect the hunt itll come easier
@Sarstan This is the truest. I'm late to the game in my 30s but my wife and I have grown our own vegetables for years and now I want to learn to harvest my own meat to be self sustainable.
I love that “somewhere clean” is just the least dusty rocks around. Very informative, great video 👌🏼👍🏼
Lol I was thinking the same thing 😂 good video except for that literally could’ve brought anything to be that much cleaner.
@@ketobeast8489 nah cause I'm the wild, those rocks are considered very clean haha. Plus everything will be frozen and cooked later.
Technically it is clean, Meaning it is completely safe to eat some dirt because there are little to no harmful bacteria, And you could just rinse it off when you bring it home to store/eat...
@@Mr-R.R. Agree to disagree lol I would rather eat meat off a sterile bag, cloth or tarp instead of a rock, but hey that’s just me and my OCD lmfao
@@ketobeast8489 i get it but it'll be the same sterility once it's frozen and cooked lol. You're good either way
Me, having never gutted a thing in my life: "Hmm yes, excellent technique. Exquisite knife work".
Me, having never seen this overused, annoying comment format in my life “Hmm, yes. Excellent technique. Very original.”
@@SnailHatan your life is trash lol
@Cope and seethe .......no, its not.
@@bootygoblin784 it’s “it’s”
@Cope and seethe 🤦♂️
Hey Steve, I shot my first whitetail this week at 30 years old and I knew how to dress it thanks to this video. Keep doing what you do, love the helpful content.
I too shot my first deer at about 30 years old. People ask me how I managed to avoid it for so long as the deer population was very strong at that place and time. I tell them that there isn't much deer hunting on a ship at sea. (US Navy)
Bro I just turned 30 hoping for my first white tail a few hours from now!
@@whitelavender7hey 11 days later did you get one? 😂
@yourfavoritgremlin no this Saturday is the day! Lol I hear em grunting just gotta get one to walk out
@@whitelavender7 that's the hard part getting them to walk out 😂 opening day though man wouldn't that be awesome to get your first one opening day! The rut is really kicking off in some areas should be in full swing in the next week or two, one is sure to come out. Good luck keep me updated lol
This video is my Masterclass. The one I always come back to for a refresher. Expertly done. Thank you!
Me too, every season last few seasons!!!
Do you leave the guts out in the field then or do you have to pack them out as well?
@rkp4360 if the heart is still intact I'll take that for my dogs. I leave everything else in the field.
Some people keep the other organ meats......I don't.
Dumb question - the method depicted in this vid would work fine for a hog, yeah?
@fletcherhamilton3177 yes. It would work for virtually any animal with hooves.
Hogs hide is very tough so bring a spare knife.
I usually use a box cutter with disposable blades for my initial cuts on a hog them my knife to skin them.
Thanks man! I was scared to go hunting for the first time by myself because I didn't want to mess this up. I watched this video over and over and I ended up getting my first deer ever in 2019 and thanks to this video I field dressed my deer perfectly and am now in love with hunting. Thank you sir.
Same here.
Awesome to hear, man. I too got my first deer ever in 2019. If my dad and family friend weren’t there to show me how to dress it correctly I know I would’ve messed up lmao.
Congratulations on your first deer!
Are you a supra?
@@patrickgjorven7832 thanks man!
A visual of what she did to my heart
Set it aside in a nice clean place
@@rob6850 no need I’ve thrown it away
So......you're an undead now??
As a grown man who makes baby noises at anything on four legs, I'm surprised by how easy it was to get through this.
It's a skill I know I should have learned long before now. Plan on coming back to this video once I down my first buck.
Aw it'll be OK, buddy
As an adult onset hunter with no real hunting mentor, this video being repeatedly played on my phone got me through my first deer! It was hard to restart with my hands being covered in blood but not as hard as it would have been without your help!
There might come times where this knowledge becomes vital for survival. Thanks
That is exactly why I am watching these videos now.
I have never been hunting. As long as there is food on the shelves in the grocery store, I probably won't go hunting. But.....as the empty shelves during covid showed......there may come a time when this knowledge is needed.
As a 16 year old who has never been hunting, this was surprisingly intriguing. I want to hunt, but my dad was army and doesn’t like killing, even for food, and my mom would never hunt. So I’m planning on getting my license and then going hunting with my friend and his dad next season. Thank you! This video was awesome!
You'll definitely gain respect for the animal. I always feel sad after a kill, but it is mixed with adrenaline and excitement. But I think empathy keeps a hunter honest. As he/she should be.
Be safe with everything and enjoy. Just sitting out in the woods without seeing anything is a good day.
you're one bada$$ girl that's for sure! are there hunting clubs you could join near you? i know for sure there are tons of people who would love to take you hunting and show you how to field dress and i'm almost sure there are hunting clubs for females only if you were more comfortable in that setting.
anyway, good for you for wanting to know this stuff!
Be prepared for mixed emotions. It may not be as exhilarating as you make it in your head.
Life is life and killing something/someone is permanent. You can't say your sorry and undo it.
The thrill of hitting what you're aiming at is exciting but then it ends.
Even killing pests n rodents and such comes with a sense of permanence.
Good luck.
@@masoncarlisle363
100% true!
Some of the best days are filled with nothing but squirrels and the rustling of leaves on a chilly day.
"im going to retain that.. so im going to put it somewhere clean..." puts it on random rock xDD
Clean is a relative thing. He didn't toss it on a random pile of dirt and/or dead plant debris.
@@handcannon1388 exactly those rocks looked considerably clean
That is why you carry large garbage bags and a couple one gallon storage bags when hunting.
It’s relatively clean and not covered in dirt so I would be comfortable putting in there aswell
Nothing a stream of water couldn't wash off
Am I the only one mesmerized by just how sharp his knife is??
I've been a small game hunter my whole life but never had a mentor to show me these ways. It was really the only thing standing between me and dropping big game. I almost have everything required for a successful hunt now... I have the gear and the knowledge, just need the experience. Thanks for such a detailed in depth video. Most valuable 7 minutes on UA-cam!
This is the part that no one ever shows and everybody needs to learn. Thanks.
This is the best Leatherman commercial I've ever seen.
Underrated post
That’s a sog power lock
Wasn't a Leatherman, but I wouldn't use any multi-tool for that.
@@hadmatter9240 seems like it worked just fine for what he was doing. Small blade as to not puncture the stomach and it already has a bone saw in it as well. Seems like a great tool to use for that. 🤷🏼♂️
Thank you SO much for going through every step, and explaining what you were doing and why. Most people just say "oh cut here but dont cut through this..." and they block half of what they are doing. Thank you so much as well as your camera operator.
I have watched quite a few field dressing videos and I have to say my friend, Your tone and delivery was top notch. Definitely appreciated!
Everything you spoke of was clear and concise, which means a lot to individuals searching for this knowledge. Again, thank you
Thank you for posting this! Last year I killed my first deer on my own, and got a little lost dressing it. I managed to get cell service, and played this video on repeat (on 144p) while I was working through the deer. Thanks for the help!!
awesome :-)
Jesus, 144k, that's one hell of a resolution.
I didn't kill my first deer last year but it was the first year to hunt on my own and when I killed my deer I got lost on the field dressing. I'm still trying to figure out the anus part. I tried to cut a circle around it but I didn't know how big or little to cut the circle and I was afraid of puncturing something. Then I had a hard time getting the guts free. I got it after an hour but I'm still unsure how to go about it
Then. I butchered the deer myself when I got home. I've never been shown how to do it so I was just winging it. The reason I'm doing this all on my own now is because I moved away from family due to work and I don't have help and there are very limited places to take my deer I would have to drive an hour away to get it butchered
that was awesome man.
he's so unpretentious ..i like steve Rinella's narration
Cyril Gomez .
@@joblo1978 damn. Three syllables is one two many for you huh?
You should try his podcast right now, almost the opposite.
the guy is a sportsman through and through.
David Harrison that is because lots of the time his podcast address political opinions
Steven Rinella, highly experienced, very smart, and a true hunter! His knowledge is something great. Everyone can learn a lot from this guy! Thanks for an amazing instructional video!
Very nicely demonstrated and professionally done. Wish all hunting videos I've seen were of this high quality. I've gutted numerous deer, but this video taught me more in 5 minutes than half of those experiences did. Thanks!
His show on Netflix is the best thing that I ever saw on hunting
seesay123 lockhart what show is that?
@@tannerlotito3313 Its called MeatEater the same as his youtube page
I agree with this statement 1000%
Definitely
Fantastic show!
Seeing an animal being cleaned truly makes one realize that meat isn't just food, it is a living thing.
Hopefully it makes us appreciate a little more where our food comes from. Because there are no such thing as "nuggets" in the wild.
mabeckca testicles are nuggets lol
Sometimes the animals will drop little golden nuggets made special for the vegans
No one told you where meat comes from?
What about gold nuggets
Ya I kill the animal and it comes from the bush and into my belly.
It never ceases to amaze me how great you are at educating young and new hunters with these videos. I've been a hunter for 32 years and still found this very entertaining and helpful after dressing hundreds of animals. Hats off to you sir. Thank you for all you do for the conservation world!
It’s thanksgiving today, I’ll be up at dawn tomorrow morning to harvest my meat for the year. I give thanks to Steve and all of the meat eater crew for content like this that brings each and everyone of us closer to what we USED to be. Don’t leave this self behind. This self is Sustainable. This self is where I came from.
This vid is also a 7 minute demonstration on the importance of a very, very sharp knife. I have to improve my ability to get a super sharp edge of my knives.
very good point. a sharp knife is a must. and there's no excuse anymore. people who aren't skilled at sharpening their knives should own a havalon.
Weibe wiked sharp scalpel, or outdoor edge razor blaze, Gerber has one, all excellent folder replacement type scalpels for this very task. Pack of blades, and a small package, field dressing a breeze. Outdoor edge boning knife or whatever is on your belt your comfortable with for processing the deer. Super important to Learn how to keep your knives sharp and consistant. If you have a few bucks to spare, or if ya don't, Apex sharpener is awesome for putting a new bevel or maintaining an edge on a knife, or even the Chinese version on eBay does a very good job as well, stones aren't as good, and isn't as well made, but it works very well
Just get the replaceable razor knife like he has. I have a gerber one. Its insane how good it is
PSMTCHEF do you know witch one he is using?

Excellent video! I watched this video 4 times leading up to the opener... when it came time for me to field dress my first ever deer, I received accolades from my dad who had been doing it for years. Dad said "You put mine to shame!"
I lift my glass to you sir! Cheers!
I've taken about 100 deer in my life and I'm self-taught. But I learned a lot by watching your video. Thank you.
It's great to hear so many of you saying that this was helpful. I'm glad that a bunch of new people are getting out in the woods.
I think quite a few folks, myself included, who grew up shooting and hunting just don't think about what goes into your first few hunts emotionally and mentally. For us, it's a combination of exciting, relaxing, a chance to see family and friends, being able ro reconnect with ourselves and what makes us feel centered and grounded; an ability to feel closer to God and all he has given us. It's funny, we spend so much time preaching firearm safety, ethics, legalities, and shot placement we don't hardly cover field dressing, cleaning of the carcass. temperature control, transport, and butchery. Every person I've ever taught the basics to I've also more than likely gut their first deer for if they were hunting on my property. Doing that the first time alone MUST be stressful. Lastly, when you get the hang of this and make a competent shot oft times there will be even less blood than this in your deer. Good luck, and good hunting.
I've never hunted or wanted to hunt anything in my life but just watching you skillfully dismantle that animal was amazing. Well done.
That only the beginning, there's more before it hits the frying pan.
@@moderndaydrifter4672 what more ?
Finally a video the actually shows the anatomy during the process. Love this man's show. Wish I could on a hunt with him. Talk about learning some great tips during a hunt.
I have loved this show so much growing up, and me and my dad would sit by the TV and watch Steven.
I'm so so happy that i found this channel and I'm going through video after video now.
thank you very much.
I appreciate y'all putting this video together. I've been wanting to start hunting, but I don't come from a family of hunters so basic knowledge like this would have been gained by experience with plenty of mistakes thrown in, like the loss of the tenderloins, cutting downward and not up, or nicking the intestinal sack. Looking forward to my first hunt. Thanks a bunch.
I appreciate how very professional and respectful you treat this process. Life is a very rare and beautiful thing. Give thanks for this opportunity.
I have been hunting for 35 years. I have processed all but a few deer that have been shot at our camp. Those that I have not processed are when other hunters wanted me to guide them through the process. The reason that I process the deer myself is because I want to insure that the quality of meat is the best possible. This video comes very close to the process I use. Take your time dressing the animal and you will have better table fare.
A tips I got from an old buddy from Germany was to use anvil type pruning shears to cut the pelvic bone and rib age. Almost completely takes away any chance of hitting the intestine when cutting out the pelvic bone. On the rib cage you can clip up both sides of the sternum and toss is like the center cut of the pelvic bone. Gives you a ton more room to get the organs out.
Just my little learned trick to streamline the process.
In Germany they use a brand names Lowe. They’re about $60 to have imported. Here in the states you can get some Fiskars Power Level Anvil Pruners for $15 in the garden section at your local big box home improvement store.
Thanks to Steve Rinella and the guys at Meateaters for all their great content.
I just bought a bow this week and I’m actually really happy I came across this. I want to get used to the sight before I get accurate enough to start hunting. Very informative!
That’s the cleanest field dressing I’ve seen. Unfortunately I’ve been doing it wrong my whole life. Thank you
I can't say that I agree. some sever errors he made. but where we hunt, field dressing is the norm.
@@svenlauke1190 what errors? Genuinely curious
@@mustafam956 the simplest and most crucial error: he constantly cuts into the meat with the knife. thats a big no go. the knife comes in contact with all manner of debris from the fur and if you cut poorly even the intestines. avoiding to cut into the muscle and contaminating the meat is therefore vital.
you can see in his very first incision, how he leaves a huge gash in the meat. the way you actually do it: you pinch the skin an pull it towards you. then on the "lifted up" part, you make am incision perpendicular to the animal. now you have a gap in the skin. unless you use a special skinning knife, rest the tip of your index finger in the tip of the blade, so it can't puncture anything. now you can pull it down the carcass, opening the hide and depending on the bone thickness the ribcage without damaging the organs or the meat. its advisable to use a larger knife than he does here, as it gives you better control.
I am actually shocked at how unprofessional he does it given his hunting expertise. if you want, google some German videos under "wild aufbrechen". in germany, it's taught very well on how to do it properly (so there should be some good videos on UA-cam). a good hunter here takes about 1-2 minutes opening up that buck in a clean way. I am a little slower myself, but a friend of mine is a wizard with a blade
@@mustafam956 oh and it's also always easier to do it standing. not all habitats will have trees with strong enough branches or similar things, but get two meat hook, stick them though the hind legs, and hang your kill on some support structure near by. if you are alone, anything above 50 pounds will become difficult to lift like that, but if you do manage, it makes the process a lot easier
@@svenlauke1190 what meat are you talking about that he cuts into other than the tender loins ? and why would i take instructions from hunters in a country that arent allowed to even have guns?
Steve is certainly a special breed! I wish I were more like him.
Humble, kind, and truly LIVING his life.
So true! I met him at the Dixie Deer Classic Show in Raleigh N.C. We talked for a good 30 minutes. One of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Love his show!
Literally just watched this. In a field. Pressing play and pause with my nose while following all directions. Thank you so much for such clear instructions.
By far the best demonstration on how to gut a deer, outstanding. Many thanks Steve
2014 is the year I decided to hunt. I bought a bow, and have been training with it. Bought a shotgun, and have been training with that as well. But dressing a deer is the one thing I can't train for (and probably my biggest concern) and am very thankful for this video. It's done slowly, with good lighting, and well explained. Thanks Steven!

Congrats!
Michael-Paul Cuccia starting with cleaning small game is a great way to get an idea of what you are doing.
Why are you hunting with a shotgun hopefully you're not hunting deer with that
@Josh Baker Many states primarily hunt deer with shotguns (other than bow). NJ for one.
@@markclemmens2862 I guess I just dont live in one of those many states. Dont get me wrong I own a shotgun I just dont hunt deer with it.
Shout out to the deer for being such a good sport about it all.

Great video. By far one of the more in depth tutorials with clear shots of what to do and where.
Thanks for showing the process. Your level of expertese makes it look simple. I’m thinking about working at a processing shop during the season as part of culinary school. Hands on butchering skills like this can never be underestimate as a chef. Well done.
finally, a tutorial that doesn't throw away organ meat
Totally thought the same thing! I love the organ meats...
The only time I don’t save the organ meat is when I’m running out of daylight
We take the lungs, stomach and some intestines too!
My dogs love the organ meat.
I had Haggis for dinner tonight, no reason you couldn't make it with Deer or Goat.....
I don't hunt nor do I plan on hunting but I am a meat eater ( who also loves animals ). This gives me a whole new respect for the meat I eat and I like the respect Steve has for not just the animal but his craft. Well done sir.
It's not just a video for hunters; nor is it only applicable to horned/antlered animals - it's basically the same for all large mammals; wild or domestic.
@@handcannon1388 domestic huh? Neighbours dog keeps pooping in my yard...
@@Kully17 That's your call. Somehow I feel that the dog is safe from Pooh-bear, though. Nonetheless, the field-dressing and butchering process is essentially unchanged.
I’ve been field dressing white tails for over 50 years.. very good explanation and well done.. agree to always get the fillets out when gutting so they don’t dry out… great video
Thank you, by far the best display of how to field dress a deer. I have watched, participated, and been hand-held yet no one has such a clean field dressing as yours. In lieu of butchering my next deer I am going to follow your video to the tee, thank you for taking the time to provide such a professional video filled with advice as ou go along. Ed D Sr.
That's a SOG multi-tool.
Is that the bone saw he uses?
@@lilymcgarvey8449 yes
Does it come that sharp already?
Only 152 thumbs down in 5 years?! Way to go, World! That's the kinda optimism I needed today.
oohhhhh all of them vegans
Attention vegans, on a cold morning when cutting into a deer stomach the steam will hit you in the face and that smell will confirm your veganism.
Id say the thumbs down would be people who think meat comes from the fridge at the local supermarket prepackaged in plastic trays ready to cook because no animals were harmed that way.......
I am surprised UA-cam has allowed it to stay up.
Hey vegans if your ancestors didn't hunt you wouldn't be here.
Love everything about the work y'all do. Stars in the Sky got me back out in the woods after 15+ years.
I just wrote a bunch of notes. Your instructions were straight forward and easy to understand. This gives me a lot of confidence in mastering this skill.
Just now at the ripe age of 35 REALLY getting into hunting. I did it as a kid but my dad always handled the dirty work. Of all the videos I've seen to dress a deer this one is by far the most strait forward and helpful. Thanks.
This is where I'm at. I always went with my dad when i was younger. Left my home state and haven't really hunted since. Moving back closer to my family after 7 years. Going to set out on my own (on dad's land of course) and learn how to do things myself.
My dad dresses deer while it's hanging from a tree limb (pulley system). So I'll try both ways.
Similar situation as you, but I've never gone hunting
The best instructional video I've seen so far on field dressing. Watched it twice and I'll watch it a few times more before rifle season!
Great cadence in instruction - I like the way he presents his words as he presents his actions, one by one and with just enough explanations and reasons.
This is one of the best hunting related videos I've ever watched. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I watched this before I started big game hunting. I have now used this method on six deer and one antelope. Thank you Steve! Appreciate the simple yet comprehensive way of explaining it.
I wish there were more seasons of Meat 🥩 Eater on Netflix.
New one coming in October
Lorenzo Zee new season just released!
Same! I love when he takes the meat home and cooks it.
I believe you can watch the old seasons on meateater.com as well.
check out the meateater podcast brother
Thank you for this step-by-step guide. Many times, content creators for UA-cam won't show this vital step for fear of being demonitized or get a strike on their channel.
So excited to get out for my first season. going totally solo, 0 experience out side of bird hunting. But I inherited my grandpas hand made 30-06 rifle. It's a thing of beauty and I am so excited to get to use it. It hasn't been used in ages but I took it to the range the other day and the scope is still absolutely spot on.
Autoplay was on and I'm reading something and suddenly just start hearing ''And then we've got the scrotum here... and here's the urethra'' totally didn't expect it to be this.
Beautiful weather, daytime, deer in a perfect location, amazing.
Every time I do this it’s dark, in a swamp and usually so cold I can’t feel my hands 🤦♂️
Ain't that the truth. Against all odds. I feel your pain.
Definitely! I've warmed my hands up in the chest cavity of a recently deceased deer on several occasions.
Ha yeah we just butchered a mule deer crouching in ankle deep snow, on a hillside, in the dark with our headlamps on. After we got everything in game bags secured on our frame packs and stood up to leave, it began to rain. Long two miles back to the truck! But when we got the meat in coolers, took our showers and got in some clean clothes, boy was the beer good!
@@flamecolumn no pain no gain
@@flamecolumn Ya drinking beer after being out in the snow ? You boys need to discover whiskey, bourbon or moonshine, nuff said !
Watching this as a refresher as I get suited up to hit the woods in a few minutes!
Hey Steve, just wanted to thank you for this video and your show. I’ve recently gotten back into hunting and I just got my first deer tonight. Real nice Michigan whitetail. I was alone in the woods, but I knew what to do because of this video. Keep doing you, brother.
That deer needs a raise for that 10/10 demonstration
It’s been at least a decade since I learned how to do this. Thanks for the refresher course.
Dude this was awesome. Quick, easy and super informative. I definitely learned a few things. Keep up the good work!
I watched this video before I harvested my first deer on a solo Arizona hunt. Then I watched it again in the field to get my deer ready for transport. Work perfect. Killer video!
Aaaaand here I am, using this video for step by step instruction for the second time. Thanks for everything you do, MeatEater!
i listened to a deer processor say that the best thing to do is to clear that gate way for cooling and actually pull the tenderloins while field dressing and you are the first person I have seen actually teach how to do that lol. great vid!
This video helped me dress my first deer. Great instructions and I figured out a few things on my own along the way. Thank you!
Steve,
After field dressing a number of animals and scouting youtube to find out how others do this, I have found your video to be one of the most elegant and clear examples of this process. Thanks so much for your detailed description, and the high quality videography as well.
Best,

@@ARMEDPATRIOT757 excuse you dude, but netflix and chill jokes are not directed at you directly. They're directed at anyway who watches netflix. And chills. Duh.
I've actually done this before(Montana born and raised), but it's still interesting to watch a video on it. This is a nice little reminder video, and it's also just very calm and informative.
My first deer prep video and was very intriguing. Very impressed overall. From your execution. Good information that's usual.
This is probably the best video I've seen for field dressing, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! It was the only video I could find that is clear on how to properly field dress a horned/antlered animal. I'm going on my first elk hunt in 2 weeks and now i'm ready.
How did the hunt go?
@@adamcostilla1692 dang....just left ya hangin
Great tutorial…. Dressing and cleaning has always been one of my favorite parts of the hunt experience.
Thank for this
What a remarkable and efficient video. Thank you, Steve.
Blessings, Grace and Peace 😊
You make it look so easy Steve! Wish I was that proficient! Definitely a good skill to have, and I enjoy working on it every chance I have to take a big game animal. Thanks for the demo!
Awesome that Steve is the top link when you search about gutting techniques. You're the man buddy keep on keepin on!
Everytime this video pops up, I watch it as a refresher. I've watched it like 3 times now.
Thanks for providing this informative content. It's crucial to know and respect the journey of our food from the farm to our tables! Awesome video
Never thought a multitool saw was so useful.
Great video, thanks Steven! You calmly gave that deer the wooden nickel treatment in record time, and the fuzzy bum was clean as the whistle. Thanks again.
I can watch this 100 times and still learn something from it. Thanks Steven. Can haz more?!!
Thanks for the refresher on the clean up process. I have cleaned out many deer and I still learned a thing or two from this video.
What a great video, calmly explained and each step understandable. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the video. Although I've watched it a few times already, it came in handy in the field when I dropped my first buck. 11 point Nova Scotian whitetail.
I watched this video over and over and successfully field dressed a deer on the 12th. Thank you so much!!
Literally just pulled this video up in the field today. UA-cam is a wonderful thing for those of us who didn't grow up hunting
Thanks for all the great material and thanks for showcasing accurately what hunting is all about!
This was awesome to watch. I love when your on the rogan podcast and your way of thinking. Hunting is definitely part of something I want experience in life thanks to you.
Great vid and I learned a couple things different then I had used. This is going to be a great teaching aid for my boys as well so they can see what needs to be done prior to getting their 1st deer. thank you.
I've watched your show for year I'm new to hunting this is by far the best way be systematic he truly does it in a fashion where you don't puncture anything accidentally
Nice and clean and simple :) Great to see you utilise the Heart and liver, the heart is such an under-rated peice of meat.
