Does anyone here process thier own deer? If so I have some questions.
1) after you get it skinned and quartered, how long do you wait before trimming and packaging it. I’ve heard to let it sit in the fridge a few days and drain the blood off of it to make it more tender and taste better.
I cool mine down on ice but keep it dry usually over night. Cold meat firms up and cuts better .
2) I live in the city, what do I do with the carcass. I normally just drive to a secluded area and dump it, but I feel like there may be a better way.
Unless you have a big freezer and can freeze and bag up for trash day . lol We haul off to a place to feed varmits or bury
3) is there an easier way to remove membrane from meat or does it just take a lot of time and knife work.
By removing the silver skin/membranes it it grinds better and easier to eat too . I use a fillet knife just like taking skin off a fish
Thanks again.
