How to Butcher a Deer Hind Quarter * EVERY CUT EXPLAINED *
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 окт 2022
- I harvested a whitetail deer in Florida and it's time to process the meat! I recommend dry aging meat if possible, but with temps in the 80's, I had no choice but to jump right into processing. In this video I show you step by step how I butcher an entire hind quarter of a deer at home. I talk through each cut of meat and explain how I like to use each cut when cooking.

I have processed many deer over 30 years of hunting but I watched your video and I must say your video is one of the best instructional videos I have ever seen because you slowed down and took the time to explain how to do it step by step.
So happy to hear that. Thanks Kevin!
I agree. I break down my hams the same way but didn’t know each roast’s name. Thanks for that!
I agree. Excellent demo.
This video was so awesome thank you for sharing.
Thanks the way you broke down everything, and which meat to keep and what to grind was helpful.
My wife was my best hunting buddy and my daughter was 9 when she past away but my daughter is now 20 and all the time I spent with her hunting and fishing has paid off . She is a very dedicated hunter and I would like to teach her and myself how to properly breakdown a deer with the correct cuts . Thank You AWESOME VIDEOS
Im so sorry to hear that Dennis.
Happy to hear that you are able to enjoy the outdoors with your daughter though! Thanks for watching.
These folks are right. I’ve been butchering deer since I was a teenager and I’m almost 80 now. I might have watched a hundred or more videos explaining the process and yours is, by far, one of the very best at simplifying and explaining the reasoning behind each cut. You’re one of the few who detail the how and why of locating and removing that gland between the rounds in the hindquarter. Excellent - no, superb job. Thank you.
I appreciate the kind words. Thank you!
Best deer butcher video i haver seen ,in my 75 yrs of procesing my deer i have learned from you i am 82 looking hopefully for up coming season ❤❤❤❤❤❤😅
U are the very best & i will pass. This video to my off spring all 26 Rlw 15:36
Allie, you are truly a surgeon, thank you so much for this video otherwise I would have never known about that gland in the hindquarters. Many years my family has butchered their deer, and just sawed away and hindquarters for steaks no wonder it tasted like crap, thank you again so much much appreciated I'm doing mine right now
best video on dealing with hind quarters. the fact that you discussed the direction and inner VS outer portion of the hind separates this from every other video on the subject - and I've seen them all (almost). Very well done and highly useful. 10/10.
Glad you enjoyed it Marc!
Hi Allie. My name is Karl Johnson. I'm a retired soldier of 21yrs of service to our country. I just turned 53 yrs old October 13th, and shot my very first deer on November 19th of this year. I want to say thank you for taking your time breaking down the hind quarter of your deer, the way you did. Excellent!
Glad it was helpful Karl. Congrats on the deer!!
Hi Karl, I have been hunting deer for over 50 years, and this year I shot my first deer with a bow. After so many years, there is still so much to enjoy about deer hunting! Glad you decided to give it a go. Congratulations
This video is incredible. Easy to follow and well thought out. As someone considering hunting deer for the first time this makes the task of processing a deer seem less daunting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
It is clear how much you love and honor the doe you processed for us.. Thank you for the lesson !!
Thanks for watching Andy!
I went hunting last night. Looked up how to butcher a hind quarter of a deer and ended up here. Great video. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
What I like about your butchering videos is that you make it doable for amateurs, and you explain not just the cuts, but which are best for cooking different ways. I particularly appreciated seeing how you cut out the glands and provide the explanation about why, and how your knife could spread the distasteful gland material. And… you just make me smile!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Allie, I can never thank you enough for your wonderful videos! You are such a blessing to me and my family. I am a 64 year old roundish 😁 wife, mother and Nana who loves to deer hunt. My husband and I are on a fixed income. With your videos and a new meat grinder, I was able to process four deer last year for ourselves, family and friends to enjoy. We eat well because of your dedicated time in teaching us. I pray that you will be blessed in return. ❤Aunt Nana
I'm so happy to hear that!! I hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year!!
Absolutely the best, well explained breakdown of a hind quarter I have seen on RUclips. I love the way you clearly described the different muscle groups and how you like to use them. Very excellent!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Finally! I have been butchering venison like this for 4 decades, you cannot remove all the silver skin. Connective tissue ect... unless you do it the right way as this young ladie has in this video. Venison has a wonderful flavor if you dont marinade in milk, vinegar. And a whole host of flavor cover-ups, this to excuse a poor butcher job.
Thanks for showing the folks, you go girl!
Thanks for watching Steve. Glad you enjoyed it!
I have watched many butchering videos and this was the best one i watched the whole thin. Usually butchers are too fast for a newbie to see the specific things
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can’t tell you how many videos that I have watched and it never stick because the people showing you go way too fast when making the cuts. FINALLY someone shows the break down at a speed where it’s easy to follow and genuinely learn! Thank you so much I’ll be using this clip for reference on my next harvest!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Allie, very good information. Been awhile since I've butchered a deer. Been awhile since I've been deer hunting. My back has gave up on me.
The best part of your videos are when you're cooking. Everything you have made since I've been watching looks delicious. Best of luck this deer season to both of you. Take care and be safe.
This is the best video I’ve ever seen for breaking down a hind quarter. I’ve processed many deer and never knew about that gland. Can’t wait for doe and spike season to try this method out. Thanks from an old, West Texas Cowboy 🤠
Thanks for watching Wayne!
My wife and I are new to this and really appreciate your videos!
Glad it's helpful!
First deer season for me and learned by watching you for processing. I learned to process the whole deer myself, thanks to you. Great instructional video. Never thought i would be processing deer myself, but with your help; it was easy....
So happy to hear that. Congrats!!
Totally agree with Kevin. The overhead view is wonderful to see better than any video I've watched. Can't wait for the cookbook.👍
Thanks for watching Tom!
Thank you for going over this process slowly and with such description! I have been waiting for a video like this!
Glad it was helpful!
this is hands down the most informational video on doing it yourself I thank you immensely for this
Glad it was helpful!
After watching your video on breaking down the deer shoulder I had to find this video on the hind quarter. I wasn't disappointed! You are very talented and so great at explaining each step and the names of all the cuts. Great job Allie!!
Glad it was helpful Greg!
Very good job Allie. I enjoyed how you tied everything into making the most use of the meat, and your enthusiasm for the dishes you will use it for. That is a large part of ethical hunting that is often not shown.
Congratulations on your deer, and may it sustain your family for the year to come.
Thanks for watching Patrick!
It's very nice of you for doing this to help the people who don't know how to do it properly. I think a lot of hunters take it for granted because most of us have been doing this since we were kids or teens. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Of course. Thanks Ronnie!
Thanks so much! I just cut up my first hindquarter without a watchful eye over me and so glad I found your video!
Glad it was helpful!
I love hearing your joy as you cut and separate the meat sections. I relate!! There is something so immensely pleasurable and satisfying about it. Until now, i didnt know how to identify the cuts, but have learned to follow the seams. So glad i found this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video! That's exactly how we breakdown our deer hind quarters. The Butt Sirloin is also the Rump Roast. Thanks for doing an excellent demo to help so many hunters do their own butchering without destroying their meat or knifes!!!
Thank you Jerry!
Allie, I have been trying to break down the muscle groups of a hindquarter for a few years and this was the most helpful video I have seen on the process. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
You should probably throw that hindquarter away and try again with another one.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
@@WallabieMcDee I’ll remember that next time!
Wow, amazing video. One of, if not the, best processing videos I've seen. Please continue with the rest of the deer.
Thanks Brian!
I really enjoy this anatomical breakdown of the process. You pay attention to detail and you take time to explain every step of the process well. I haven't started hunting yet, but when I eventually do the butchering and taking care of the meat I harvest is what I look forward to the most, so videos like this is pure gold for me. Cheers and keep up the great content!
Thanks for watching!
I've just started processing my own deer. I've done 3 up till now and I wish I'd found this video before! Nicely done! Thank you for slowing down and talking through each muscle group.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic job describing the process. One of the better videos I’ve seen! Thanks! Love your videos!
Thanks for watching!
This is serious the best video on the subject. So much better than anything else out there, thanks
Glad you think so!
This is the second year I'm processing my own deer. Thank you so much for this video!!! I finally know what the different cuts of meat are and how to debone properly. I look forward to other breakdown videos if you have them planned!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!!
I just found your channel and love the time that you take to explain in detail everything you are doing. I really like the "Bearded Butchers" but a lot of the time, they go so fast that you don't get the detail necessary to do it yourself. I process a couple of deer every year and don't have any problems but your detail really helps. Great Job!
Great Job Allie!!! I butchered many deer in my life and also watched a lot of people do it. Other than a professional butcher I have never seen anyone with as much knowledge at such a young age as you display. Enjoy that tender Florida doe sweetheart and keep on doing what you do. Thanks for every enjoyable minute of video and NEVER lose that great smile!!!
Thanks for watching!
You and Scott Rae must be teachers to young butchers. How good is this! Write a book and I will surely buy! I'm from Belgium and it's always nice to see how other country's butcher in their own ways.
Thank you! Book is on the way!
I have cut up well over a couple hundred deer in my lifetime. You did a wonderful job of explaining each cut to those who don’t know the difference and are very handy with a knife. Got me excited for my hunt in NW South Dakota in a month. We have 14 tags to fill and I am always the head butcher so will be eating good
Thanks Paul. I appreciate that!
You never cease to amaze! This is the most comprehensive and easy to follow butchering I have ever seen. Thanks Allie!
I appreciate that. Thanks Mike!
@@OutdoorsAllie Allie because of your guide here, I was finally able to separate and identify the muscle groups properly. I just took the top and bottom round and sliced the most amazing looking jerky I have ever done on my jerky board. My 9yr old daughter an I are passionate about venison and she thanks you as well. Just bought her a bow as well. She will be out there in no time!
Awesome video! There is nothing more satisfying than processing your own harvest.
Agreed!
I watch a ton of deer butchering videos and this one is by far the most detailed and informative. Thank You!
Glad it was helpful!
Once again, Allie, I have to thank you. I continue to watch your videos often so I am improving on processing our deer. I recently purchased a new knife very reasonably on Amazon, along with a pair of cut proof gloves which have greatly increased my confidence when using my new knife.🤣 I have just gotten an electric canner and will begin using it this week! So excited about all we can do now to store our venison long-term. I have to say braised shanks are hands down my favorite meal so far. Praying for you and your family. You are such a blessing. Aunt Nana
So happy you're enjoy the process Morgan!!
Best video I've ever seen on butchering a hind quarter, period. Explained very clearly and beautifully shot. Anyone could watch this and butcher their own meat.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Eye of rounds get turned into minute steaks by tenderizing and then breaded like a cutlet and put with gravy. They are one of my favorite cuts.
Thank you so much for your video. A friend gave us a hind leg of a lovely black-tale deer. We have never butchered a deer before and so watched your video. I must say you made it so easy. We did it! I don't know how we would have managed without your step by step video to watch. Also I found it so helpful that you named each part and mentioned whether it would be tender or tough. 🙂
That is awesome!
Good video. I've been doing my own butchering/processing of deer/elk since 1987. Your video will serve others well. Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
This is one of the best instructional videos on a deer hind quarter. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video honestly just made my life so much easier! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
I love how passionate you are about meat.
Great job, I'm processing my first deer and this helps me out a lot. Thank you. Been a follower for a long time congratulations on your first Florida deer.
Congrats!! Thanks for watching.
One of the BEST videos on how to debone hind qtr. Very in detail,simple and step by step. Mine turned out almost exactly like hers.
Glad it helped!
It's very satisfying to harvest and process your own wild game. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for watching Seth!
The best vid I have seen on breaking down a hind quarter!! So good!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Been hunting and usually completely processing my own venison for over 20 years, and your processing videos have still been very useful to me! It’s easy to follow and see every step in the process being carried out- Definitely going to refine some of my methods when deboning and processing the venison because of how well you do yours. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!!
Great video! I butcher game infrequently enough that I have to have a refresher on the different cuts and uses of the meat each time. This video is an excellent step-by-step breakdown of the cuts and has been super helpful for butchering my recent antelope. Thanks for the tutorial!
Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Saw a snippet on TikTok and came on over here before starting on my buck in the cooler today. Thanks for all the wonderful info, I can’t wait to alter some of my cuts and get more variety in my meat!
Thanks for watching Holly! And congrats!
Blessed with 2 bucks quartered on ice after hunting trip. Used processors before but your videos helped get these cuts cleaner than before and the wife uses excellent recipes, look forward to your cookbook!! Thanks!
Thanks for watching Greg!
Well done!!! Best instructional video I have seen on processing deer!
Glad you enjoyed it John!
Allie, you are a fantastic teacher. I've butchered my own animals for many years, but always enjoy watching someone approach this labor of love with complete care and competence. You have clearly mastered this all important, final phase of the hunt. Thank you for sharing your passion for hunting and the outdoor with others!
Thanks for watching!!
I was getting ready to process the hind quarters of the doe I got the other day. This video is very informative and will help me get better cuts. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I just butchered my 15th whitetail. I still learned something. I wish I'd watched this video before the 1st. Best instructions I've seen, by far.
Happy to hear that you liked it!
I have to say, what a great video. Love your passion at the end as well.
I appreciate that!
Amazing video!! Thank you so much. Just finished butchering two hind quarters from a blacktail buck I took down 2 days ago.. This was my first buck in 25 years, since I was a teen. Thank you for the in depth tutorial and I really can't wait to purchase your cook book!!
Congrats!! Have fun with the cook book! Thank you!
For my first time processing my own deer, this was very helpful for me. Thank you
Great to hear!
I enjoy your videos Allie and thank for sharing with us.Hope you have a great Week.
You too Jimmy!
Yes girl! I love this. So clear, so specific, so informative! Can’t wait to process this Mississippi doe I have in the cooler🙌
Thank you Sheila! And congrats on the doe!
Liked, subscribed, and shared. I read a few comments and I agree with everyone. Absolutely, hands down, the best breakdown of a deer hind quarter. Professional butchers and meat cutters should take notes from you on how to do an instructional video. I have cut my hind quarters just as you have done but it's difficult to explain to people who ask . Your video is better than any explanation I could ever say and better than any other video out there. Wow, and I have been wanting to see how a chamber vac sealer does from just a regular person. Bonus.
Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words.
Love your enthusiasm. Excellent presentation.
Glad you liked it!
I'm marking this to review again when I'm about to process my deer this year. I've done similar for years, but much 'by feel'... I feel like I'll step it up a level by being more intentional like you are. Thanks so much for making this video! 🙂
Thanks for watching Dale!
@@OutdoorsAllie you have a scammer in your comments 😕
Ive processed my own deer for many a years now and Ive watched many many videos on breaking down meat and this one is by far the most informative one I have seen. Been thinking of doing a breakdown on my youtube channel but Ill just recommend this video instead cause I definitely cant explain the breakdown in this way.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
You are awesome! This was actually my sixth deer. First in AZ, Coues deer small also. I’m usually the trimmer and packager. But this year I was first to bag mine so I was left with these hind quarters to butcher. It was a snap. I don’t think my Husband ever knew about that glad so yah great to learn. Thank you! Now hopefully he gives me the call soon to come and assist on bringing another home.
Congrats! Glad you enjoyed it
I have no idea how many deer I have butchered in my day but it is a lot. I have also taught young hunters how to do it and I take a lot of pride in it but when teaching inevitably they ask what type of meat is that. Pride kind of slips away when all I can answer is, “Steak, grind, stew or roast.” Amazing job showing and explaining not only how but what each cut is and how to best use it! Had I known what the eye of round was on a deer I wouldn’t have been so disappointed in it all these years! Thank you for teaching this old dog a new trick or two! I look forward to more of these videos and can’t wait to share them!
Thanks for watching Michael. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it!
Best one on youtube! Everybody else goes so fast the camera can not even get in and show it before they move to the next cut. You did excellent and showed it perfectly!
Thanks!!
Great video Allie. I am 42 and just started deer hunting this season and was blessed with harvesting a doe and buck both from our property we own in the country. I processed the doe already and the buck is aging as we speak and will process on Friday. Very educational video, and fun, and you bring a positivity in promoting hunting and self sufficiency! Thank you....
Congrats on the deer! And thanks for watching Joshua!
Welcome to deer hunting. You're hooked now!!
@@OutdoorsAllie for sure 😊. We moved to the property we are on all the from Hawaii to be closer to family and start our homestead. I began beekeeping, deer hunting, got my first wild turkey. Working towards a stronger sense of food insecurity and self sufficiency, but grew up hunting small game. I am hooked for sure and love the taste of venison when properly cooked. Plan to make a whiskey butter and bourben venison heart recipe this weekend!
I’m an addict for butcher videos but no one has explained in detail where every cut lies on the hind quarter. Instead that all flip the quarter every which way during the butcher process and I spend more time reviewing which way they are looking at the meat vice how they are cutting it so I can follow along.
Loved the video and your personality. So thank you for the instructional, it’s exactly what I needed. Time to watch the rest of your videos!
Blessings from Stafford VA
Chris
Thank you very much Chris. I really appreciate that!
Great job and agree that your pace allowed us to see it great!
Glad you enjoyed it Brent!
Definitely the best video I’ve found on this good job🤙
Glad you liked it!
First time finding your channel. I've got to say this was one of the best explained and shown breakdowns I've ever seen. Really impressive. Subbed! Cheers.
Awesome, thank you Fred!
Great video, good angles, good description and you didn't go too fast. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video Allie! I'm fortunate that my wife hunts with me and is right next to me when it's time to process our game. This year we handled the entire job from start to finish all by ourselves, to include grinding the trim. Doing all this together really helps us to appreciate the blessing of being able to hunt and harvest meat for ourselves and it's so much healthier than store bought meat. We have been participating in the process for awhile, but are now starting to remember the actual cuts as we go through the process on our own. If I could offer one small piece of advice it would be to caution your followers to be extremely careful if they chose to purchase and use one of those havalon piranta knives you used to break your deer down since they are effectively a scalpel on steroids. We use them as well, but it never fails that one of us gets over confident and nicks ourselves 🙂.
Thanks for watching Mike!
Your videos remind me of Bob Ross you make it easy to learn
Great video! You do a very thorough job of explaining everything. I will be processing my first deer of the season tomorrow.
Congrats! Thank you.
Excellent Job !! I like how you don't rush and explain very Well, i will be sure to show my grandaughter !! ENJOY Your Venison !!😊
Thanks for watching!!
I have watched a bunch of these videos over the years even though st this point I have it down. Just interests me. I just wanted to say this is the best one I've ever seen and the one I will refer people too moving forward. Great job on this.
Thank you Eric!
One tip that helps me out is using what i call a "dirty" knife alongside my nice sharp boning knife. I actually use this same method when im skinning a deer. I use the "dirty" knife for the dirty work. Cutting around bones, kneecaps, or cutting through hair when ringing the deer during skinning or cutting off the legs and head. It allows me to always have a sharp knife on the side for doing intricate cuts while butchering or skinning an entire animal without the need for resharpening my good "clean" knife. For my dirty knife i literally just use an old stiff 4" rapala knife which has a broken off tip lol. But i love this method. When i need to get down and dirty or do some prying in certain areas or digging into bones i use that knife.
Thanks for the tip!!
Thank you very much. You are an excellent host. I’m definitely saving this video.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve only gone hunting once when I was 13 and didn’t harvest, but as I’m getting in my early 40’s the desire is popping up again. This and your last video are really helping give me the confidence to give if a try. I wish I had someone to go with though. Need a battle buddy, lol.. great videos and you’re truly an inspiration. Take care.
You got this!!
Process a dozen animals a year. Living in Montana keeps my freezers full. Must leave a note and compliment you on your instructional videos, they are suited for all hunters to see and appreciate
Thank you very much!
Hello Outdoor Allie, I’m older than “Karl” (in one of the comments lol) its my first year hunting and have harvested a few this year (has been the best experience and don’t know why it took so long for me to start hunting) I paid for processing the first one-expensive- watched another video and did what I thought was ok on the deer until I saw yours and I showed my 70 yr old neighbor how you do (did) it and he was amazed. Know that You have helped some older guys butcher their deer the right way bc of the time you took out of your life to help someone; so thank you & God Bless.
Very happy to hear that. Thanks for watching Mike!
Well done, Outdoors Allie. I have a young mullie to butcher, and this helped a lot. I really liked how you did it like "I would do it" and not like a speedy butcher will do it. A+
Thanks for watching Stephane!
I always like watching others process their venison. I always learn a trick or two. Great video and perfect speed. Many others go too fast or slow, or skip the harder parts to make themselves look better. You did great and much the same as I process mine. Love doing Osso Buco with the shank
Everybody goes so fast because they think that's whatever body wants that's what the RUclips algorithm is telling them are that's what all the big channels that are about building RUclips channels is saying at 8 to 10 minute video or keep your people interested people interested I like the longer videos I don't think it's a big deal yes I mean there's just A lot of crap like some of these videos my gosh my kid I catch him watching them and I mean do This is so stupid Talk about 1718 year old kids do and stuff that 8 9 year old kid would do
I thought this is how everybody done it and this is the way I've been doing it my whole life As far as piling all of your rolls apart
Glad you enjoyed it!!
I got a doe yesterday and watched your video on gutting and this one. Going back and watching this one again i see so many things i could have done faster. I got lost in the process. You are awesome and love ur vids and the detail and tips
Awesome. Congrats!
I am going to make biltong and pemmican. Biltong with salt pepper vinegar and coriander. South African charcuterie jerky , more cured than dried see. 2 guys and a cooler. Pemmican will be the majority of it because it can be stored without refrigeration for like 20 years. Venison beef tallow and dried berries . Some good videos on pemmican on you tube, making and storing pemmican with Donald porta. Not plugging just in case u were interested
Thank you for this. I am new to hunting, and I hunt in regards to the culinary aspect of the sport. This video has educated me a lot. Cheers!
Glad it was helpful. Cheers!
I recently harvested a buck in Pennsylvania so I will do the hind quarters exactly how you showed us Thank You 🦌
Congrats!!
You've got a gift, thanks for the literal break down!
My pleasure!
Been cutting up deer for 40 years but I certainly learned something. Many thanks
Thanks for watching Mark!
Thanks Allie. I only found your channel after I had finished "processing" the front half of the deer...resulting in some very unusual cuts. However I found yours by the time it came to the hind quarter.....and things have improved significantly. It might be my first deer, but it won't be my last.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck on the deer.
Excellent video. It helps when you start with a super clean quarter like this. It takes almost as much time to get it cleaned up like that as it does to break it down. Shanks are great if you slow cook them in a crock pot for about 6 hours.
For sure!
