Yep, they got a deer. There will be at least one more probably. I have no idea how many permits they have this year. We can get several land-owners permits. Hopefully they don't go crazy. I'd have to buy another freezer.
The deer has been gutted and the tenderloins have been taken out (they dry out if you leave them in) and it's hanging in my garage. I don't know when we will cut it up....it's fine hanging for a few days since it's cold.
Sooooo, without further delay here is a step by step pictorial of them gutting the deer--this would normally happen in the field, but they kindly came home and did it in the garage so we could see pictures :
Oh and this might be too graphic for some.....so scroll past this if it is.
First you have to the the guts out (liver, stomach etc.)
Then you remove the tenderloins....not to be confused with the backstrap. The tenderloins are the most coveted part to eat in my house lol.
And that's all there is to it!
Except if this were your first deer, you would be required to eat that heart raw.
Just kidding.
Sort of.
No, really, just kidding.
