Cutting and Processing Meat from Game Animals

Slaughtering, cutting, and dressing meat from wild animals can be quite tricky because of their tough hide and flesh. Game animals have such sturdy bodies because of their adaptation to the harsh environment they live in. Their hides are coarse and difficult to cut. Their flesh is also difficult to slice because of their firm muscles. Game animals get daily exercise from foraging and hunting. Domesticated livestock do not get much exercise as they are given sustenance by people.

Deer is commonly hunted for its meat and hide; the hide is especially valuable for manufacturing buckskin leather. It is the same for moose. Elk and moose are common game animals, and there are butcher shops that specialize in preparing the meat of these animals.

Various meat processing techniques can be done to these game animals, just like for beef, pork, and lamb. For one thing, the game meat may be trimmed of excess fat. The meat may be cured or tenderized. It may even be ground.

There are deer hunting buffs that might not have the skill for butchering game animals. Fortunately, there are professionals who could offer some assistance in preparing game. The
Mad Butcher
specializes in slaughtering livestock as well as game. At a price, this establishment can process and even pack game.

Part of meat preparation includes skinning and cleaning the animal. The skin is slit from the chin down along the belly. The skin is then peeled off using the hands. Butchers at the
Mad Butcher
are careful not to puncture through the animal’s internal organs. This is to avoid contaminating the edible parts with the animal’s secretions (like bile) and excretions (like feces). Cleaning involves the removal of the animal’s internal organs.

The animal is cut into various edible portions and then stored.
Meat processing
techniques such as grinding, curing, or tenderizing may be done. The meat is then vacuum-packed. This entails removing air from the package to prolong the freshness of the meat. This is done for any type of sliced or processed meat if it is meant to be sold in stores or kept in the fridge.

Stop live animal skinning!!
