@NiceSnipingPs3 What would you do if you were hunting? The same principle applies with freshly killed meat (trust me, the meat that ends up on your plate goes through considerably worse). Even with the limited means with which he's been afforded, this man is resourceful and obviously knows what he's doing. As far as consumption is concerned, simply cooking pretty much ensures that a vast majority of any harmful bacteria are killed, judging by the relatively fresh condition of this meat. Cheers.
@SuperMiseryman nothing. Only about 4 ounces of soft meat. I left the head on the ground for the foxes if they were that hungry. Did I mentin I ate lamb brain one in France? slimy, not very appetising.
@Nicro328 yes, we ate it all- fried, roasted and casseroled, some fresh and some frozen and it all tasted very good.
Quite a few people eat meat, and while I would never try to persuade someone to do so against their will or conscience, I believe it is ethical to do so provided animals are treated decently. I had nothing to do with the death of this deer, I was just the first scavenger on the scene.
TV chef Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall is very sound on meat ethics IMHO
sir that was very informative. i am a bit sqeamish but its always good to know how our steaks,jerky, and even our hamburgers are made. it was disgusting, but that is just the overall idea of meat i suppose. as long as its cooked right and tasty eh? lol
By the way, I observed towards the beginning of your video that there was a bit of bloat coming from the abdominal area and subsequent gas released as the result of partial decay. How can you tell how long an animal has been killed and therefore, how can you tell what is safe to eat and what isn't?
@BigBrotherMateyka basically smell and appearance. The guts are always going to be stinky even in an animal that has literally just been shot and is still warm. The decision is usually made at the roadside. This animal was clearly in good shape. There were no external marks, the eyes were still there (crows usually take them quite early on) The guts were intact and the meat looked clean and fresh.
bear in mind meat is cooked before being eaten, this will destroy even the worst germs
I can't think of any reason you could not eat the brain, eyes to if you like, not to mention the tongue which would probably be nicer than either.
I have eaten sheeps brain, a bit slimy and tasteless. There isn't much of it and I wouldn't be keen, but eating the heart, kidneys and liver (as we did) would be economy enough. The default position was I left it by the side of the road and the crows and blowflies had the lot.
@stephenhayesuk Don't fancy the eyes. I'd try them as I'll give most things a go. But the only thing I find I'm squeamish with is being watched by my food.
Great job Stephen. I love all your videos! Never allow anything to go to waste. You received some good feedback so I won’t offer my gutting and skinning preferences. Thanks for sharing and keep those videos comming you venison eating, tree hugging capitalist apple tree lover! You have inspired me to plant more apple trees on my property here in the state of Michigan, USA.
@TrakturBuff kind of you to say so friend. I post these videos for all the usual reasons (because I can, because I feel like it, because people give me positive feedback, etc) but most of all because I love apple trees and want to pass on my hard won knowledge to others. It makes me smile, occasionally sniff or blub a bit, to hear of friends out there who have felt inspired to plant a tree or 2 after watching my rought efforts. It makes my day.
See my post for splitting a white oak log with black powder. I can only imagine the problems you might have in the UK if you tried this! Here in the States, out in the country, if you say you want to blast a stump the neighbors want to watch.
A moose got killed by a car in Newfoundland. Some guy up the road drags it back to his house and has it hanging in his shed. The rangers follow the drag marks back to his house and charge him with illegal meat fining him and taking his right to hunt game for 5 years. Kind of makes me really pissed off at idiots with uniform's on. Hard to imagine the stupidity of certian game laws here in Canada. I usually gut a deer before hanging it. Easier that way.

@80spodcastchannel Agreed. This video was very informative in how somebody with little experience can prepare a meal of meat, whether in the wild or in conditions where food is otherwise scarce.
And on the subject of religion, "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!" Luke 12:23-25.
@AJSensei Thanks. Having seen some excellent videos over the last day or so since I put this up (some I agree much better than this rough effort of mine) I now realise this is so and will try it next time.
Thanks to everyone for the positive and helpful comments.
Excellent video. It has been a long time since I went hunting. My personal belief is to not eat the filtration & processing organs of an animal though, those being the kidneys and liver. Seems to be a very young animal or perhaps the deer in England are just a lot smaller than Canadian.
@MrqLaw Thans. this was a young animal, and also our deer are smaller than US and Canadian deer. we have 4 species-roe (this is a roe) fallow, muntjack and red. The red deer are the largest by far, more like your deer but nothing like as big as moose or elk.
Liver and kidneys are strongly flavoured and not everyone's preference, but are perfectly safe to eat and a traditional part of British cooking. I have eaten half the liver sliced thin and fried with seasoned flour.
Stephen. I invariably learn loads from your videos but on this one it might just be the other way round. You can remove the stomach bag without bursting it (and spreading the contents, which will spoil the meat) by simply cutting the skin with the tip of your knife, protecting the stomach bag with your fingers. You might find it better to leave the skin on and hang the carcase for a time (three weeks if you have a fridge) which will improve the eating quality. I'll have to post a video........
Stephen, out here in rural Ontario,either the driver or the cops, typically claim the deer. (Our local police tell their off-duty friends where the deer is & expect the favour to be returned.)
Unfortunately a lot still get wasted, but I think it's because most deer get hit at night. People who spot the deer in the morning r usually on their way to work & can't claim it.
I haven't actually seen many unclaimed deer lately... I hope it's not because of the economy, but I suspect it is.
Stephen: cont. Grab the bladder and spin like a lightbulb 5 or 6 times. Grab the twisted part at the top of the bladder between two fingers and cut with knife above fingers and remove without it getting it on the meat. With a pair of pliers you can pull the anus out from the rear and tie with a piece of string. A paper towel or rag will allow you to pull the colon out and you have a perfectly clean cavity. I have done this over 200 times and won bets on doing it in less than 5 minutes.
@navajopa31 Thanks for these helpful suggestions. Its a rough video as I had to film myself ( I'm going to buy a camera tripod today!) but I wanted to be real about the messiness. There is a line in a song ('Country Life') by popular English Folk Singer Steve Knightley of the duo 'Show of Hands'
'you hate the blood, you want the meat'
so without being gratuitously offensive I wanted to show 'the real thing' as is.
PS ate some pan fried liver last night, will post cookery video
Stephen: If you cut the hide just through the white layer under the hide first from the neck to the rear you go with the flow of the hair and get less hair on the meat. Next cut is through the stomach wall from the diaphragm to the rear without nicking the intestines or colon. Usually done on the ground lift animal and let the guts fall out. Cut diaphragm from side to side along the spine. Reach inside with 2 hands and cut windpipe. Cut around anus 2 inch deep. Lift animal and it all falls out.
Stephen: Here in the southern part of the US we soak the roast in salt water with a 1/4 cup of vinegar in a plastic covered container overnight. Rinse well and sear the meat as best as you can. Place in a slow cooker with 1/2 cup of water, salt, pepper, celery seeds, 1/2 of an onion cut up, 1 can cream of mushroom soup and 4 or 5 stalks of celery cut into 4" lengths. Cook the required time and enjoy. There will be no wild game taste to the meat. The vinegar, salt, onion and celery are the key.
Great video, and a great example of resourcefulness. I used to help my parents butcher moose as a kid, but never got to see them field dressed. I subscribed to your channel to learn about apples, but have learned much more on top of that.
don't forget to save the skin. There is loads of information all over the internet on how to properly tan the leather and use it (nice pair of moccassins to wear as bedroom slippers are always a plus.) Shouldn't be too tricky.
I have watched some "field dressing" videos in the past, just as a sort of reminder of how my father and grandfather did it. Not very likely I'll be doing it in the near future, but I'm sure it won't be too long before I need to and as we say "knowledge doesn't take up any space".
@JohannsGarden Its all common sense really, I mentioned the eyes, also damage from scavengers (crows, foxes etc) and obviusly maggots. The time of year is significant, its still quite cold and there was a light frost, road kill deteriorates faster in hotter weather. A lot depends on the degree of damage from the fatal collision, but even a fairly mangled carcasse may yield at least 2 or 3 good joints-for free.
Several deer I picked up were still warm, having been killed just hours earlier
Very interesting. Hope you enjoyed it with some red. But out of curiosity, how well cooked would you serve the venison to avoid bacterial poisoning? especially since the freshness can only be guesstimated at (although perhaps the eyes are a clear indicator, since scavengers go for the eyes or innards first). Worms are another issue. Helminths are probably less common in the UK, but in Australia there are problems with hydatid etc. Even so, can I assume any wild animal is best cooked well done?
@TTLM77 Hyatid cysts mainly affect the liver and are visible, as far as I recall from my zoology A level and medical studies. The only health issue I know if is Lyme disease transmited from deer tick bites. This is an issue, but the rash is visible and responds to antibiotics, although neurological problems are reported. However, walkers are most at risk. I have seen live ticks on road kill deer so its an issue to watch out for.

Most of our venison is casseroled or pot roasted, no bugs survive that
@JohannsGarden, I knew that, but did you see it hit? Sorry, I was worried about you eating the meat without knowing for sure. Or how long the meat had laid there. Just a worry wort here, lol...
I was curious if you had some deer on your property are you allowed to kill it? The reason i ask this is because a friend on mine she has a small farm there in Devon, and her brother killed a few badgers that were too close to their cattle, anyway he almost got arrested for killing badgers. You have strange laws there!! I had no idea that badgers were protected species? They worry about badgers spreading TB to their cattle, they had lost a few cattle some years back
Great video, very well handled considering how squeamish some folk are about this. Also very useful, I've hit a kangaroo on the highway before and felt like it was such a waste (the only thing that benefits from them being hit is the crows).
About 20 yrs ago I had one of theses creatures come through the windshield of my brand new station wagon.After I got out of the hospital I went back that night and got it. We butchered it at about 2 A M. Worked out to be about $50.00/lbs.
Butchering that deer was the most respectful and intelligent thing to do. Glad to see you were quick to tape the unexpected event to share it with us. Great video.
@ChristianChannel1 Thanks for that very sensible question. The deer was found by the side of the road and it's wounds made it quite clear that it had been killed by trauma. The eyes were still present proving it hadn't been there long or the crows would have taken them. Cause of death was massive internal bleeding from ruptured liver, I edited that out to keep the video to a reasonable length.
The meat all looked very healthy, there were no signs of sickness, but even so, cooking kills germs
@NiceSnipingPs3 What would you do if you were hunting? The same principle applies with freshly killed meat (trust me, the meat that ends up on your plate goes through considerably worse).
