​@@jijajino1seriously? Reply on a 5 year old comment? You vegan can just go, we are omnivore not herbivore, you need to know your products also killed a lot of animals

Yes I was going to say something along the same lines you really need to hang it upside down that’s really the way to go skinning it on the ground and cutting it up it up is not the way to go. It’s more labour-intensive and much more annoying to do it that way

Thanks for the note.

😂😂😂

For food kid its nature Get over it..

You bet

there's no life after death. it's always gonna be survival of the fittest. so practice yourself having no sympathy to another's life. that's just how the universe works even before the homo sapiens came into the scene.

@@BayaniMagtanggol Humans are not like animals, we have a soul. The first death is not the end, the second death is.

+IdahoanSailor I used an AlpineAlps pack for this hunt. It was fine for the deer. I tried to pack an elk quarter on my last hunt and destroyed the frame of the pack. I am still looking for the right pack. I want a day pack that can expand to pack and elk quarter or half a deer. Any ideas?

+EatWild Dylan check out the Alps Outdoors commander extreme. It's the newest model, I got mine a couple months ago and LOVE it. carried out four quarters of my friends mule deer the other week with it - flawless.

+EatWild Dylan the traverse X could also be a very good option. Trouble may be finding them in Canada - I ended up ordering direct from the states.

It's called an alpine alps pack. It is an interesting design but it didn't survive elk packing. I am using a kuiu pack now.

Gingey #gingey boys I wear mostly Sitka gear. The gear is well designed, durable, and they have a great warranty. I would check out their website and match the gear to your hunting conditions. Good luck.

+gardogg65 If you are in the wilderness just leave the carcass behind. The birds and bears will make it go away. if you are hunting near where there may be bikers and hikers you may wan to move the carcass and guts away from the trail so that hikers don't have an encounter with a bear. It is easiest to move the deer away form the trail before you gut it. Much harder to move the gut after they are out of the animal.

This.

Jihad Farraj you should be able to pack about 1/3 of your body weight fairly easily. So a boned out deer would be a couple of trips. One more to come back and get your camp. Good luck.

@@EatWildDylan Awesome thanks!

Most of the blood drains from the animal shortly after the shot. Usually the shot will penetrates the heart or lungs so the blood drains from the major arteries.

It was really dull! I just had the knife custom made for me and it was made with extremely hard carbon steel. My sharpener wasn't up to the task so i just had to make do. It not everyday that I kill a deer with a professional film available to make a movie of it.

Well ! No matter what you have people that can put you down for doing something good ;)) I thought it was great and thank you as I am a great armchair Quarter back !

+Al Machado This is a Rhidian Knife. rhidianknives.com/ Very pretty knife.

+EatWild Dylan Yes very nice custom knives and a nice deer. Thank you sir for the link. I'd consider getting a Rhidian except that I just got a nice custom skinner and a bird and trout knife from a maker in Washington state. I periodically use the same diamond sharpening rod as you. I don't know that I have a knife in 1084 steel, but similar 1095, and in sharpening I go very lightly and judiciously. I'm sure you know diamond rods can remove a lot of steel and booger up your bevel if you're not careful, but you probably use a steel also. Cool video. I've never skinned a deer or hog on the ground. I always drove back and hung them since our cabin was so close to our hunting ranch. Thanks again.

Yes. I gutted this animal first. You can bone out an animal without gutting it first, but it's a slightly different technique. I'll do a video about it sometime soon. However, I like to gut it right away because it helps start the cooling process for the carcass. It only takes a few minutes to get it anyways so it's no big deal.

+Dan S (Wolftar) I am going to take the meat out of the bags as soon as I get back to the meat pole so the meat can drain and cool down.
