My favorite part of this video was the respect that the @The Bearded Butchers showed to Logan. asking him what he wanted to do with his kill what he wanted to cook for his family. Thats called respect. They didnt assume or tell him what he was going to do. When you give a young man respect he becomes a respectable man.
So true! No one can teach something that they don't know. It's that simple. Show respect and people learn respect. Especially when dealing with children.
Your boys should know how blessed they are to have role models like you in their lives. My dad was never around and didn't teach me how to hunt, fish or anything. Teaching people with these videos is a great way to sell product and give back to your communities. Well done.
Men taking responsibility for their children. If this happened more in our society there would be less disruptive behavior among our youth. If your going to have children grow and teach them life skills and above all love and nurture them. Love your videos!
That's not food. That's murder. Take a deep breath. Your body burns Oxygen, But yeah. Keep placing dead animals in your gut and hope you'll live a long healthy life full of love.
@@TheBeardedButchers I actually thought the video was badass also the kid did a sweet job. Plus it's extremely instructional. I'm just a bitch sometimes.

@@johnlshilling1446 I can’t tell wether this banter or how you truly feel. So I have to comment at face value. It doesn’t matter what community a child is abandoned. The reality is fathers (yes even mothers) are viewing the child as disposable. That’s the root of the problem. The American people have a great need to return back to the church and the Bible.
@@kevinb5075 I agree. When you remove God and fathers from the equation, which is how Government Welfare rules are structured, children suffer specifically, and Societies in general. When restraint is not learned and discipline is never applied, all social groups suffer, including animal groups.
You can tell just how much skill you guys have butchering. It's so apparent that all you do all day is constant butchering. You do it so fast and accurately. Your customers must be appreciative of your skill.
My dad was an usda butcher in the army during Vietnam. As a kid watching and helping him cut up deer, I always thought he went a thousand miles an hour at it but I see it’s just the product of knowing wth you’re doing. If he had lived long enough to see RUclips, you guys would be his favorite channel. Subscribed
I’m 72 years old worked a lot of jobs in a lot of places and worked with a lot of different people. You guys would be fun to work for not for food but just for the atmosphere great job with your kids that’s awesome.
I love how you bring the kids into the cutting, it’s so good to see Dads teaching their kids a life long skill that not only can be used to make a living but can bring family together. You guys really do have the best videos on RUclips
That dog passed out in the driveway in a meat coma was comedy gold! Lol very wholesome video, you guys are good people. Congrats to your son on getting that buck. What a shot!
Its very important kids know where their meat comes from, so respect for keeping them in the process at a young age! So many thinks it just magically appears on the superstore counter.
I'm single with two teens. I don't know anyone here on a personal level. My family is almost 1000 miles away. I sooo appreciate the detail of this video! A friend of a friend dropped a quartered doe my deep freezer. NEVER have I processed a deer. This has given me a great deal of confidence! So THANK YOU ALL Soo much!
PS, don't forget to scrape off ALL bone dust, if you're using a meat saw. My brother and I ruined one of our first deer. Just like the fat, a deer's bone (marrow?) gives the meat a nasty, gamey flavor... yuck! Wound up giving it all to some people we didn't really care for. LOL!
Y’all guys! Running a business, but most importantly raising respectful considerate young men! Glad y’all on you tube teaching other families!! Oh yea and teaching the value of cleaning and using the entire deer!
Logan asking "what would be best?" shows a lot about his respect for the men in his family. Truly impressive the job you guys are doing with your kids. Keep it up!
i wish my country has a hunting culture so i could have share such a special moment with my dad, feeding your whole family for months at 10yo, what a feeling that must be
Survival skills!! She will thank you when she grows up. I didn’t have a father present or both grandfather’s alive my whole life. But I feel guided by one grandfather in spirit. I know he would have taught me so much. I’m only learning now at 26.. wish I would have know anything useful about meat growing up. I would have saved me from hunger!
This video surprised me with a bit of nostalgia, watching those boys lending a hand. My first (part-time) job when I was a kid (13-14) growing up in New Zealand was working for the butcher in our small town. I worked there before school, after school, and every other weekend. I mainly trimmed, made the hamburger, sausages, and silverside ... and did a LOT of scrubbing with a course brush and boiling water. We also had a smoker out the back for the bacon and we'd cut down tea-tree from the neighbours to add some flavour. I remember the deer hunters would bring in deer early in the morning, we'd hide them in the back of the coldstore, and in the evening after closing we'd process them. Occasionally the inspector would come around to check up on the place and the butchers wife would butter him up with home made cakes when he arrived so he wouldn't "see" the deer hanging in the back. As I got a little older (15-16) I would go with the "home kill guy" and learn how to prepare animals for the butcher. Mostly beef but occasionally we'd do pigs and sheep. Once I was old enough (17-18) I then learned to hunt. A friend who was a few years older than me taught me what had been taught to him by his father. He was also the same friend who had introduced me to guns when we were in primary school. In those days the right-of-passage was typically an airgun when you where 12 followed by a .22 a few years later. These skills are still feeding me, and now my family, nearly 30 years later.
Broadhead in the shoulder. That's such a cool trophy. So worth keeping. One day when logan is a father and grandfather he'll have such a cool story for the kids.
Fellow Ohioan here - Love this video. I have watched it several times the past couple of years. There’s just enough time between deer seasons for me to forget a lot of the tips and tricks I learned from the past season about processing a deer - this video brings them all back. I did 4 deer today with two buddies who had never processed a deer, and you guys made me look like a rockstar after what I learned. You’ve helped me cut my processing time down from probably 6-8 hrs per deer to maybe 2 hrs total per deer. I still kinda suck, but not nearly as bad as I used to! Thanks!
The best comment from Logan touched my heart. When Seth gave him the option of how to have his loin cut, he said, " What do you think is best?" He respected your input and will develop a scale of perfection as he gains skills and knowledge! Beautiful!
This video should be entitled “small army of meat processors eat an entire deer in one sitting”! That traeger ready to go was too much of a temptation lol.... great stuff y’all, love the content
I have been binge-watching many of y'alls videos for learning purposes, but this is probably now my favorite. The obvious pride of the parent, the continuous praising of Logan & calling it 'his deer,' and the hands-on teaching of him to cut the steaks for his cousins... fantastic video of setting the next generation to be successful in life.
The family vibe, the detailed explanations as you guys do your craft, and the atmosphere of your videos in general is incredible. This is the kind of educational quality that I wish the world had more of regardless of content type. Too much useless and toxic junk all over youtube. Your channel is very real, humble, and respectful even as you slice open dead animals. Cheers from Canada 🍁👌🤓
Taking a life has a mental moment for the brain. My first time at a gun range.... Well in my head I'm like yea it should be easy shooting a gun like in video games. Well when I got up there and loaded the gun and held it and aimed. I started uncontrollable shaking. It was strange... I was telling myself it's fine its just like a toy bb gun. But yet the knowledge I held the power to take a life was intense. It took 3 full 9m clips to start calming down. Lol.
I got my first deer this year. Watched this video all last season. So far it's taken me several hours to butcher and process... I can't wait until I can do this in under 2 hours! Thank you for sharing this info! I can make the cuts I want instead of going to a processor!
Every young person deserves to be led into maturity in an honest, clean and moral way. That young man will never forget that day nor fail to be grateful to every person that participated in his big day. What a great video! That’s a family that will weather any bad times together.
Thank you so much for including the whole family. I'm teaching my kids how to help process our deer and it's nice for them to see that you can help at almost any age. Thanks again for the ethical and grateful approach to processing.
Hey guys, I'm an old timer just starting to learn how to hunt and wanting to learn how to harvest my deer... your videos are right on and inspirational. Thanks y'all!...Mat from Virginia
Can't believe you have left my earlier comment up on top for the last two years! It helps me to realize you really do read every comment! Thanks! As noted, I am 73 Y.O. and still trying to do my own butchering. The new wave seems to be that common folks have now gone to the Sawzall for processing meat. It would be entertaining, educational, and worthwhile to see Y'all do a video using the same. And while you are at it, teach us how to keep the bone dust/get the bone dust off our product! Thanks Y'all. God is good!
Awesome.. all my kids started hunting with me before they were 10. I never made them and when they did we learned about proper harvesting and not being wasteful.. great to pass on and memories that will be there forever.. God bless yall and keep it up.
Dude to dude, you are positive role models not only in your immediate family but, through your videos, you are presenting a moral and value filled lifestyle to some that can't get elsewhere. This is stuff I want my son to watch. Thanks and God Bless you!!!!
Nothing you guys have done has never concerned me. Always spotless clean. And my cookouts look the same way. Family, friends, dogs, cats etc. love the channel. It’s always been a daunting task but you guys are teaching me with the videos. Thank you.
The world is a better place with men such as yourselves, so happy i randomly found your content! Keep up the amazing work. PS, Your dad rolling up in the classic was amazing!
You guys are amazing! It actually brought a tear to my eye watching what you did with your young men as my farmer Dad did for me! Years later, while Dad was retired, in front of his old buddies, I gladly processed his deer as a, "Thank you Dad for taking such time to teach me the right way to do it yourself!" This one of my favorites you've produced! Hope to see ya'll soon! Headed to Burton, OH in a couple weeks. TX Ranger. 🤠
You can use regular freezer bags and fill with water enough to cover and squeeze out the air and it will keep for years just like you put it in the freezer yesterday ! Just used some from 2018 (3 yrs.) and no freezer burn whatsoever ! Also helps if you have a power outage , but does take up more freezer space !
The wisdom of a young man who when asked how do you want your chops cut, answers what do you think is best to his adult family member whose wisdom that young man understands is a master at his job. That is something we seriously need to see more of and the reward is to be taught how to do it!! YES!!!
I butchered a deer once, and I use the term “butchered” in the most negative sense, not in the professional sense .... LOL. Fascinating to watch pros at work!
I got my first deer last year and processed it and my son's as well pretty much all by myself. It was a lot of work but well worth it and very rewarding to put all that meat in the freezer.
There's a ton of right stuff about thus video. This is what family life is all about. Bringing in the kids to help, keeping it real world and processing in the shop, I loved the 5# bag idea. I've experienced making too much of one thing and to little of another. I normally don't watch videos that are as long as this one but your videos are worth carving out the time to watch
This is super satisfying and it has taught me some decent things about how to butcher more properly, my father didn’t teach me anything about hunting and butchering, can’t blame him though as he was an over the road truck driver
I’ve watched your videos so many times learning how to better process our deer, my husband and I ended up processing 5 deer this year and I swear your videos help so much. We do all of our own stuff at home from skinning to packaging sausage.
You feel a broad range of emotions as a young man with your first kill. Sorrow, joy, pride, sheer heart racing. Once you get past those, you think about the implications of what you just did. You realize you've taken on a larger responsibility. Not just to the animal to make its suffering short and to make its entire body of use, but to your family and those you take care of. It's an important part of becoming a man, even if you only do it once.
Was hoping there was gonna be another video of this, not gonna lie. I enjoyed the ones y’all did a couple years ago. Also, amazing shot Logan! Great job!!
I’m grateful that I have a Father like the guys in this video! Pray for the fatherless... My Dad had me involved in things he was interested in, and he took the time to explain things out to me! When I watch these men having their sons involved, it makes me want to tell my Dad thank you!
Just like to say that this is false advertising. I just processed my first deer last week and it took me like 4 hours. And that was already quartered lol. You guys did it in 20 minutes and had it ground cooked and or packaged in no time. You guys are true masters of your craft.
Y’all are phenomenal at this. My dad would love y’all as his team 😂. Got it down clean and quick. Excellent job and very nice at teaching and getting the boys involved.
I had seen many videos on butchering but guess you are the number one. This is another educational video, I never imagined a deer stuffed such a lot of meat in it. I love the way you engage the kids. The good dog too was so beloved.. 😀😍. You guys are a very responsible family mens and your wife's and parents are for sure very proud of you and the kids.
Congrats on the deer. Been watching you guys since your first deer butchering video. Really appreciate the videos. To be honest you guys are like the Bob Ross of butchering haha I can watch you guys butcher a deer over and over and still learn something new. I actually learned how to skin my first buck from you guys. Thank you.
Wow, it's an honor to be dubbed as the Bob Ross of Butchering; though we do agree and see butchering as a work of art. 😁 Anyway, congratulations on your first deer! Glad our vid helped.
@@TheBeardedButchers yes sir. Can't wait til I have the opportunity to take my son and daughter hunting as well. Looking forward to your guys' future videos. Keep up the good work guys.
I love your Family. I wish I could’ve done the stuff with my son. You guys are freaking amazing generation after generation. I follow you guys like nobody’s business. What an amazing show you guys have I watch this every single time like literally every time a video comes out. Without you guys I would never know how to properly processed meat cut or Silver skin off.. Logan what an amazing shot like you could’ve got it any better. Good for you little man.
I'm so amazed how methodical these young men are. Lots of love in this garage....whether loving/respecting the animal, love in the family or love in cooking....I'm just amazed! Love the video guys and please keep them coming!
Man I remember my first kill, my dad even made me cut it up on the spot. He was like "I'm here to teach you, I'm not gonna do it for you. Be sure not to waste anything, because if you do taking this animals life wasn't worth it." I carried it from the field to the truck all by myself in one trip, I was so excited to tell my mom.
I got my first kill a few days ago it was a large doe and she dropped right in her Tracks. It was running and I saw it and tried to stop it, but it didn't so I shot and I spine shot it and droped it.
I use a .308 xtreme point and generally aim for double bottom lung. Saves a lot of trouble in terms of meat loss as I don't generally hit the shoulders. I haven't had a deer go more than 5 yards as that round expands instantly and dumps energy fast shredding the lungs, they usually drop immediately
Nice. Me too on the double lung. In s.e. Alaska my hunting partner and I would trade off carrying our 45-70s for the brown bear threat so one of us could carry our rifle of choice. 400 grain Barnes hand loads, and my model 70 featherweight .270. Using 160gr Nosler partitions. Beautifully perfect mushroom. I was able to retrieve one from a black bear skull. I've actually killed more deer with the 45-70 though. Same double lung shot, hardly any meat loss. A few times I would take a neck shot as that's all I had. We were allowed 7 deer in some units, they were so plentiful. We usually hunted at treeline and it smelled like a cow pasture.
Whoever is disliking this, they are deceiving themselves. They refuse to be sensible humans. Great job gentlemen and boys. You growing up best. This is life we should all desire.
I love how he is teaching these boys how to voice their own opinions and choices something as simple as choosing their own seasonings, not only that they’re teaching them teamwork Great video thank you 🙏🏻
When you work out all the stuff needed for hunting deer. Adding processing gear is not that big of a sting. Grinder will pay for its self quick. Vacuum sealer. Then stuffer and make or buy a smoker. It's really not that expensive if you think what I cost to take it in every year. And you already subbed to this bad ass channel so you have more then enough videos to watch. Just take your time. You cant make a mistake in butchering, just more burger. And it's a great way to spend family time.
Harvested and processed a doe on my own this weekend with the help of this video and felt like I wasted very little time and meat! Gave a great perspective into just how quick and skilled you guys are with the knife following along in real time because mine wasn't moving quite that smooth! Thanks fellas.
That intro was awesome. I remember my first buck, all the emotions that come with killing it: sad because you intentionally killed a living thing (and confronting that feeling), happy because you just "won" the the hunt, feeling fulfilled because your father (or other mentor) is proud of you, and complete adrenaline from actually taking your shot after waiting for hours (and days, usually). That is the moment a boy becomes a man.
One of the very best butchering jobs I have seen ! Much the same as I do it , however Fl. deer would be too tough for chops that thick ! We cut ours about an 1/8th inch thick for pan fry or grill a larger piece and cut very thin cross grain and rare ! Pork fat we don't use due to having to be sure it's fully cooked ! We use beef fat so we can leave it rare and juicy if we like ! Awesome job Guys !
@@kevinb5075 I have a handful of friends who are hunters. It doesn't make sense to me financially. Got to buy a rifle (can't borrow them in WA ST) $500+, got to put enough rounds through it to be accurate, $200 a year?, got to buy camping gear, $500+, buy the class and license, $300?, and the big one is use a whole week of my vacation with zero guarantee I'll net a deer/elk etc. I live near the ocean so I do fish, shrimp, crab, clam etc every year so I "get" it.
@@justinfiorini3142 I can see why you would be discouraged. However your numbers are very high and maybe that’s because of the state in which you live and if that’s the case I empathize with you. I buy all of my stuff in the off season and used (just in good condition) I think I have $200 -$250 in all the hunting supplies. I do have a little bit more wrapped up in the processing equipment but as they said it’s an investment!
@@justinfiorini3142 WA sounds horrible... I can see how it can be financially hard with those restrictions... here in KY it costs almost nothing to hunt
This is exactly what I was looking for. Great example on EVERYTHING. I learned so much, and this video makes me feel so much more confident on processing my own deer. There's no better video on RUclips on how to process each, and every aspect of a whitetail. Thanks for making this video!
Don't listen to the haters, fellas, how well you guys explain what you're doing is the biggest reason I watch. I also love how family first you guys are, involving the kids not just in the hunt but the processing of the meat too. I'm a "MANNY" (male nanny) for my nephews two kids. The older one started hunting this year and has 4 grouse under her belt and can't wait for big game season. She missed last year because of a shoulder injury so she's champing at the bit. Here in Montana 10 and 11 year olds can hunt birds and deer without hunters safety as long as they're with their Mentor ( that's what they call the program ) Its a great deal for them and surprisingly great fun for me too. I've already tried your recipes for summer sausage and it turned out great! Keep up the great work and I'll be watching.
FYI - HB bag stuffing etc. I have a nice tip for you that I use with my chamber vac. Use a small tall sour cream tub with the bottom removed as a large funnel. It keeps the top of the bag clean for a clean seal. Great job in the processing.
So fast, it's amazing watching how fast you can work through a carcass. I'm no slouch, people have told me I'm really quick, but it still takes me 2x as long.
We have a coolbot and have used it for deer and currently have a full beef in a home built walk in cooler. The thing you have to watch out for is the unit icing over because of the heat given off by the animal. We only had this issue with the cow. Otherwise it’s an awesome unit
If yall shoot another deer can ya'all do a processing the deer with all the fancy cuts u can get instead of an economu cut. Maybe deer chops or tonhawks, deer t bones and ect. Congrats on the deer Logan

I like that saying might use it again if you don’t mind.
Rules come from within.
RIGHT!

It was so cool to see that young man put food on his family's table. Well done!

This video surprised me with a bit of nostalgia, watching those boys lending a hand.
My first (part-time) job when I was a kid (13-14) growing up in New Zealand was working for the butcher in our small town. I worked there before school, after school, and every other weekend. I mainly trimmed, made the hamburger, sausages, and silverside ... and did a LOT of scrubbing with a course brush and boiling water. We also had a smoker out the back for the bacon and we'd cut down tea-tree from the neighbours to add some flavour.
I remember the deer hunters would bring in deer early in the morning, we'd hide them in the back of the coldstore, and in the evening after closing we'd process them. Occasionally the inspector would come around to check up on the place and the butchers wife would butter him up with home made cakes when he arrived so he wouldn't "see" the deer hanging in the back.
As I got a little older (15-16) I would go with the "home kill guy" and learn how to prepare animals for the butcher. Mostly beef but occasionally we'd do pigs and sheep.
Once I was old enough (17-18) I then learned to hunt. A friend who was a few years older than me taught me what had been taught to him by his father. He was also the same friend who had introduced me to guns when we were in primary school. In those days the right-of-passage was typically an airgun when you where 12 followed by a .22 a few years later.
These skills are still feeding me, and now my family, nearly 30 years later.

These things are not mutually exlcusive.
What’s wrong with being on a computer? We’re learning while watching this.
@@luis_techie Exactly.
Nice to see the entire squad at work. Not many parents teach their kids how to handle a knife.
This video should be entitled “small army of meat processors eat an entire deer in one sitting”! That traeger ready to go was too much of a temptation lol.... great stuff y’all, love the content
In Hoc 💪🏼
I have been binge-watching many of y'alls videos for learning purposes, but this is probably now my favorite. The obvious pride of the parent, the continuous praising of Logan & calling it 'his deer,' and the hands-on teaching of him to cut the steaks for his cousins... fantastic video of setting the next generation to be successful in life.
This is the way to go ! OLD SCHOOL!!!
I personally spend hrs out in my Garage getting it done ! Then on to Wrapping! With butcher paper and tape !
The family vibe, the detailed explanations as you guys do your craft, and the atmosphere of your videos in general is incredible. This is the kind of educational quality that I wish the world had more of regardless of content type. Too much useless and toxic junk all over youtube. Your channel is very real, humble, and respectful even as you slice open dead animals. Cheers from Canada 🍁👌🤓
Thank you so much for the kind words!
The boy was surprisingly stable for his first kill. Shaking, yes... But quite calm for a jr. hunter. Impressive to say the least. Kudo's
I remember not being able to get up after shooting my first deer when I was 11 lol
Taking a life has a mental moment for the brain. My first time at a gun range.... Well in my head I'm like yea it should be easy shooting a gun like in video games. Well when I got up there and loaded the gun and held it and aimed. I started uncontrollable shaking. It was strange... I was telling myself it's fine its just like a toy bb gun. But yet the knowledge I held the power to take a life was intense. It took 3 full 9m clips to start calming down. Lol.
I got my first deer this year. Watched this video all last season. So far it's taken me several hours to butcher and process... I can't wait until I can do this in under 2 hours! Thank you for sharing this info! I can make the cuts I want instead of going to a processor!
You got this, Teresa!
That's a really good DAD....lost mine last year and some of my BEST memories were with my Dad in the woods......good job buddy
Our most sincere condolences! But we're glad to see you cherish such memorable times.
As a father I love this so much .. it’s good to see father’s teach there boys to be good men who can provide for the family and themselves.
Found this video at 1 in the morning and imagine the surprise when you hear a small town ohio and find you are less than an hour away from these guys.
One of my favorite childhood memories is sitting in the stand with my dad
Sounds golden!
Every young person deserves to be led into maturity in an honest, clean and moral way. That young man will never forget that day nor fail to be grateful to every person that participated in his big day. What a great video! That’s a family that will weather any bad times together.
Really appreciate that, Theophilus! We want to make sure they're ready for the road ahead! 🥰
Reminds me of my youth. Deer season, staying at the deer camp, eating the best food imaginable for 4-5 days.
Thank you so much for including the whole family. I'm teaching my kids how to help process our deer and it's nice for them to see that you can help at almost any age. Thanks again for the ethical and grateful approach to processing.
Good job Logan! Cool to see all the boys helping out! You brothers are truly blessed!
Hey guys, I'm an old timer just starting to learn how to hunt and wanting to learn how to harvest my deer... your videos are right on and inspirational. Thanks y'all!...Mat from Virginia
Very lovely to hear this, Mat! Thanks!
Can't believe you have left my earlier comment up on top for the last two years! It helps me to realize you really do read every comment! Thanks!
As noted, I am 73 Y.O. and still trying to do my own butchering. The new wave seems to be that common folks have now gone to the Sawzall for processing meat. It would be entertaining, educational, and worthwhile to see Y'all do a video using the same. And while you are at it, teach us how to keep the bone dust/get the bone dust off our product!
Thanks Y'all. God is good!
It's that time of year again, my oldest daughter just got her first deer last Friday and then cooked the tenders for the family.
Awesome.. all my kids started hunting with me before they were 10. I never made them and when they did we learned about proper harvesting and not being wasteful.. great to pass on and memories that will be there forever.. God bless yall and keep it up.
I like how he asks the kid who killed it how he wants to cook it, what pieces we he wants to cook, makes it feel like it’s really his deer
The kid deserves it, he practiced all summer long! 😊
Best tutorials there is on RUclips. Well done fellas
Yeah
Dude to dude, you are positive role models not only in your immediate family but, through your videos, you are presenting a moral and value filled lifestyle to some that can't get elsewhere. This is stuff I want my son to watch. Thanks and God Bless you!!!!
Nothing you guys have done has never concerned me. Always spotless clean. And my cookouts look the same way. Family, friends, dogs, cats etc. love the channel. It’s always been a daunting task but you guys are teaching me with the videos. Thank you.
The world is a better place with men such as yourselves, so happy i randomly found your content! Keep up the amazing work.
PS, Your dad rolling up in the classic was amazing!
Very much appreciated! Thanks!
You guys are amazing! It actually brought a tear to my eye watching what you did with your young men as my farmer Dad did for me! Years later, while Dad was retired, in front of his old buddies, I gladly processed his deer as a, "Thank you Dad for taking such time to teach me the right way to do it yourself!" This one of my favorites you've produced! Hope to see ya'll soon! Headed to Burton, OH in a couple weeks. TX Ranger. 🤠
You can use regular freezer bags and fill with water enough to cover and squeeze out the air and it will keep for years just like you put it in the freezer yesterday ! Just used some from 2018 (3 yrs.) and no freezer burn whatsoever ! Also helps if you have a power outage , but does take up more freezer space !
The wisdom of a young man who when asked how do you want your chops cut, answers what do you think is best to his adult family member whose wisdom that young man understands is a master at his job. That is something we seriously need to see more of and the reward is to be taught how to do it!! YES!!!
Wish my family was this functional lol it's refreshing to see families that function and have little events like this I wish I had.
Father, son memory that will never be forgotten!
I butchered a deer once, and I use the term “butchered” in the most negative sense, not in the professional sense .... LOL. Fascinating to watch pros at work!
NICE SHOT LOGAN! What a great moment and learning lesson for the young Bucks and Does
I love how self- sufficient you guys are. What a great example you both are to those boys.
I got my first deer last year and processed it and my son's as well pretty much all by myself. It was a lot of work but well worth it and very rewarding to put all that meat in the freezer.
There's a ton of right stuff about thus video. This is what family life is all about. Bringing in the kids to help, keeping it real world and processing in the shop, I loved the 5# bag idea. I've experienced making too much of one thing and to little of another. I normally don't watch videos that are as long as this one but your videos are worth carving out the time to watch
Dude, I wish I had some classes like that when I was a kid.
This is super satisfying and it has taught me some decent things about how to butcher more properly, my father didn’t teach me anything about hunting and butchering, can’t blame him though as he was an over the road truck driver
Thank you so much for re-educating me on the processing.I am a country girl .Down to earth and FOREVER THANKFUL!!!
I’ve watched your videos so many times learning how to better process our deer, my husband and I ended up processing 5 deer this year and I swear your videos help so much. We do all of our own stuff at home from skinning to packaging sausage.
That is super awesome, Rhiannon! Happy to hear how our videos help you and your husband process 5 deer this year! 😊
You feel a broad range of emotions as a young man with your first kill. Sorrow, joy, pride, sheer heart racing. Once you get past those, you think about the implications of what you just did. You realize you've taken on a larger responsibility. Not just to the animal to make its suffering short and to make its entire body of use, but to your family and those you take care of. It's an important part of becoming a man, even if you only do it once.
❤️
Was hoping there was gonna be another video of this, not gonna lie. I enjoyed the ones y’all did a couple years ago. Also, amazing shot Logan! Great job!!
I’m grateful that I have a Father like the guys in this video! Pray for the fatherless... My Dad had me involved in things he was interested in, and he took the time to explain things out to me! When I watch these men having their sons involved, it makes me want to tell my Dad thank you!
You guys don't talk too much I love your descriptions and you give the amateur confidence. Thanks for all that you do.
Just like to say that this is false advertising. I just processed my first deer last week and it took me like 4 hours. And that was already quartered lol. You guys did it in 20 minutes and had it ground cooked and or packaged in no time. You guys are true masters of your craft.
This is edited. Lol
As tbn said this is edited to cut down time and only show the interesting parts.
It's edited. The video is the accumulated parts over a period of time.
Why the hell would you say it 3 times that its edited. At ease
To yall saying its edited, while it is that doesnt mean you should be taking 4 hours to process a deer. 45 minutes to an hour for 2 people. If that.
Y’all are phenomenal at this. My dad would love y’all as his team 😂. Got it down clean and quick. Excellent job and very nice at teaching and getting the boys involved.
I had seen many videos on butchering but guess you are the number one. This is another educational video, I never imagined a deer stuffed such a lot of meat in it. I love the way you engage the kids. The good dog too was so beloved.. 😀😍. You guys are a very responsible family mens and your wife's and parents are for sure very proud of you and the kids.
That’s what it’s all about. Doing something you like working with your family passing down to the next generation. Much respect
We couldn't agree more. We appreciate you watching our channel!
Great Dad teaching his son the right way to hunt and make it a memorable experience! Then show how to process it for the family, future butchers 👍
That's the plan!
Congrats on the deer. Been watching you guys since your first deer butchering video. Really appreciate the videos. To be honest you guys are like the Bob Ross of butchering haha I can watch you guys butcher a deer over and over and still learn something new. I actually learned how to skin my first buck from you guys. Thank you.
Wow, it's an honor to be dubbed as the Bob Ross of Butchering; though we do agree and see butchering as a work of art. 😁 Anyway, congratulations on your first deer! Glad our vid helped.
@@TheBeardedButchers yes sir. Can't wait til I have the opportunity to take my son and daughter hunting as well. Looking forward to your guys' future videos. Keep up the good work guys.
The start of this video was so wholesome!
I love your Family. I wish I could’ve done the stuff with my son. You guys are freaking amazing generation after generation. I follow you guys like nobody’s business. What an amazing show you guys have I watch this every single time like literally every time a video comes out. Without you guys I would never know how to properly processed meat cut or Silver skin off.. Logan what an amazing shot like you could’ve got it any better. Good for you little man.
Im going to process my own deer. Thank you guys. I appreciate your blessing. Thank the lord !
I'm so amazed how methodical these young men are. Lots of love in this garage....whether loving/respecting the animal, love in the family or love in cooking....I'm just amazed! Love the video guys and please keep them coming!
That shot was amazing! Show us the bone when you get a chance to clean it up.. it’ll be a great display piece
Man I remember my first kill, my dad even made me cut it up on the spot. He was like "I'm here to teach you, I'm not gonna do it for you. Be sure not to waste anything, because if you do taking this animals life wasn't worth it." I carried it from the field to the truck all by myself in one trip, I was so excited to tell my mom.
I got my first kill a few days ago it was a large doe and she dropped right in her Tracks. It was running and I saw it and tried to stop it, but it didn't so I shot and I spine shot it and droped it.
I use a .308 xtreme point and generally aim for double bottom lung. Saves a lot of trouble in terms of meat loss as I don't generally hit the shoulders. I haven't had a deer go more than 5 yards as that round expands instantly and dumps energy fast shredding the lungs, they usually drop immediately
Nice. Me too on the double lung. In s.e. Alaska my hunting partner and I would trade off carrying our 45-70s for the brown bear threat so one of us could carry our rifle of choice. 400 grain Barnes hand loads, and my model 70 featherweight .270. Using 160gr Nosler partitions. Beautifully perfect mushroom. I was able to retrieve one from a black bear skull. I've actually killed more deer with the 45-70 though. Same double lung shot, hardly any meat loss. A few times I would take a neck shot as that's all I had. We were allowed 7 deer in some units, they were so plentiful. We usually hunted at treeline and it smelled like a cow pasture.
Whoever is disliking this, they are deceiving themselves. They refuse to be sensible humans. Great job gentlemen and boys. You growing up best. This is life we should all desire.
This is one of the "wish I had done it" sometime during my 73 years. Now I only watch and enjoy
I love how he is teaching these boys how to voice their own opinions and choices something as simple as choosing their own seasonings, not only that they’re teaching them teamwork
Great video thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much!
When you work out all the stuff needed for hunting deer. Adding processing gear is not that big of a sting. Grinder will pay for its self quick. Vacuum sealer. Then stuffer and make or buy a smoker. It's really not that expensive if you think what I cost to take it in every year. And you already subbed to this bad ass channel so you have more then enough videos to watch. Just take your time. You cant make a mistake in butchering, just more burger. And it's a great way to spend family time.
You guys really do a great job and it's really nice that the whole family is involved in most of the workings.
Way to keep up the family tradition. Thank you!
Harvested and processed a doe on my own this weekend with the help of this video and felt like I wasted very little time and meat! Gave a great perspective into just how quick and skilled you guys are with the knife following along in real time because mine wasn't moving quite that smooth! Thanks fellas.
Hurray for dads! I have four children, a small business, and love my life! Please more!!!
That intro was awesome. I remember my first buck, all the emotions that come with killing it: sad because you intentionally killed a living thing (and confronting that feeling), happy because you just "won" the the hunt, feeling fulfilled because your father (or other mentor) is proud of you, and complete adrenaline from actually taking your shot after waiting for hours (and days, usually).
That is the moment a boy becomes a man.
Hey Trevor! Thanks for sharing this. We totally get where you're coming from and we agree -- it's a roller coaster of emotions.
One of the very best butchering jobs I have seen ! Much the same as I do it , however Fl. deer would be too tough for chops that thick ! We cut ours about an 1/8th inch thick for pan fry or grill a larger piece and cut very thin cross grain and rare ! Pork fat we don't use due to having to be sure it's fully cooked ! We use beef fat so we can leave it rare and juicy if we like ! Awesome job Guys !
Here I am, not a hunter, watching this whole video.
If you are human.. you are a hunter.. It is in your nature
One try and you’ll be hooked!
@@kevinb5075 I have a handful of friends who are hunters. It doesn't make sense to me financially. Got to buy a rifle (can't borrow them in WA ST) $500+, got to put enough rounds through it to be accurate, $200 a year?, got to buy camping gear, $500+, buy the class and license, $300?, and the big one is use a whole week of my vacation with zero guarantee I'll net a deer/elk etc.
I live near the ocean so I do fish, shrimp, crab, clam etc every year so I "get" it.
@@justinfiorini3142 I can see why you would be discouraged. However your numbers are very high and maybe that’s because of the state in which you live and if that’s the case I empathize with you. I buy all of my stuff in the off season and used (just in good condition) I think I have $200 -$250 in all the hunting supplies. I do have a little bit more wrapped up in the processing equipment but as they said it’s an investment!
@@justinfiorini3142 WA sounds horrible... I can see how it can be financially hard with those restrictions... here in KY it costs almost nothing to hunt
This is exactly what I was looking for. Great example on EVERYTHING. I learned so much, and this video makes me feel so much more confident on processing my own deer. There's no better video on RUclips on how to process each, and every aspect of a whitetail. Thanks for making this video!
Don't listen to the haters, fellas, how well you guys explain what you're doing is the biggest reason I watch. I also love how family first you guys are, involving the kids not just in the hunt but the processing of the meat too. I'm a "MANNY" (male nanny) for my nephews two kids. The older one started hunting this year and has 4 grouse under her belt and can't wait for big game season. She missed last year because of a shoulder injury so she's champing at the bit. Here in Montana 10 and 11 year olds can hunt birds and deer without hunters safety as long as they're with their Mentor ( that's what they call the program ) Its a great deal for them and surprisingly great fun for me too. I've already tried your recipes for summer sausage and it turned out great! Keep up the great work and I'll be watching.
Thank you!
Your boys are very well behaved. Good parents.
The dog has that "longing look" for some more fresh venison; "FEED ME" he says......
Haha don't worry, we made sure we did, but off-camera 😂
Hunters pets always live longer, they eat better than most people
My dogs and cat were all 3 hanging around while I processed ours with the same look lol
I love your videos. Which has made me want to process my own animals. Also I purchased the MEAT grinder and sausage stuffer. Thank you for sharing.
Nice, Allen! You got this!
FYI - HB bag stuffing etc. I have a nice tip for you that I use with my chamber vac. Use a small tall sour cream tub with the bottom removed as a large funnel. It keeps the top of the bag clean for a clean seal. Great job in the processing.
So fast, it's amazing watching how fast you can work through a carcass. I'm no slouch, people have told me I'm really quick, but it still takes me 2x as long.
We have a coolbot and have used it for deer and currently have a full beef in a home built walk in cooler. The thing you have to watch out for is the unit icing over because of the heat given off by the animal. We only had this issue with the cow. Otherwise it’s an awesome unit
If yall shoot another deer can ya'all do a processing the deer with all the fancy cuts u can get instead of an economu cut. Maybe deer chops or tonhawks, deer t bones and ect. Congrats on the deer Logan
This is a cool idea
Look through the channel. They’ve definitely done something like that before
