[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 274781, member: 1485"] I remember when I first learned butchering your own deer was even a thing (don't laugh, but back in 1998 or so I literally knew nobody who cut up their own deer. It was straight to the butcher. Every time). The tide turned when we had a fella come in to Gander Mountain, where I worked, and put on an entire lesson on how to break down a deer. He had a road-kill deer, and did the whole kit and kaboodle right in our meeting area. I think we had, like, 4 customer watch, and about 15 associates including me. I bought his VHS tape and watched it about 15 times. He did say that for better tasting venison, he recommended removing all silver skin and fat. So that's what always stuck in my head. And while I wouldn't keep a 4-inch fat cap on the rump roast like what was on my buck this year, I think having a few chunks here or there don't hurt for North Dakota deer. They eat better than most cattle in this state! Now if'n I was hunting some northwoods rutting buck whose diet consisted of pine bows and scrub brush, maybe being a bit more meticulous to mitigate the "funk" would pay off. [/QUOTE]
