Proper Deer Handling
Can Save The Venison
AUSTIN - So the fun part
is over. You’ve shot your buck
deer.
What now?
Proper handling of a deer
carcass can mean the difference
between an assortment of tasty
chops in the freezer or a total
loss of valuable meat.
Two Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department
publications are available to
help deer hunters. The 1970-71
Hunting Guide will tell what
the seasons and bag limits are
in all 254 counties, arid the
illustrated “Now That You’ve
Killed It” leaflet written by
Game Management Officer
Grover Simpson tells how to go
about the field dressing job.
Simpson says the first thing
the successful hunter should do
after shooting a deer and
making sure it’s dead is to tag
the animal. Then, without
delay, the deer should be
field-dressed.
One important note:
Contrary to popular belief,
there’s no need to cut the
deer’s throat to bleed it. The
bleeding will be accomplished
during the field dressing
process.
The deer is propped on its
back and an incision is made
from its pelvic bone clear
through the rib cage and as far
up the neck as possible, with
care taken not to puncture the
entrails. The windpipe is cut as
high up the neck as possible
and is pulled downward.
The carcass is then rolled
onto its side, and the layer of
meat which is holding the
entrails to the ribs is cut all the
way down to the backbone.
The deer is rolled over and the
process is repeated on the
other side. The entrails then
can be pulled from the body
cavity.
Then the deer is lifted by
the hind legs and propped up
on its back with rocks or some
other suitable object, so a knife
can be used to separate the
bones of the pelvis. Then the
carcass should be hung by the
antlers or head for about 20
minutes to allow blood
drainage. If no tree is handy,
turn the deer with the chest
cavity down in a clean place
and allow it to drain.
The skinning can begin at
once. (If the deer is to be
mounted, it should be hung by
its hind legs.) The skin comes
off more easily while the deer
is still warm, so the animal
should be skinned within two
hours.
To remove the skin, cut it
down the inside of each leg to
the middle of the body. Then
the skin is cut around the neck
as close to the head as possible.
Then the skin is pulled away
from the neck. A knife must be
used to separate the skin from
the legs and other places the
skin sticks tightly to the meat.
The deer should then be
taken to camp and hung in a
tree by the hind legs for four
or five houts. This allows the
tiny blood vessels to drain back
and out toward the heart
region.
The carcass should be
wrapped in a sheet or
cheesecloth and kept hanging
up until cool. It may then be
cut up as desired.
A fuller explanation of the
process, with accompanying
illustrations, may be obtained
from the Department’s
headquarters at the John H.
Reagan Building, Austin, Texas
78701.

A novelty twist was added to University of Miami
baseball by coach and gimmickry wizard in residence Ron
Fraser three years ago. He decided to replace the
traditional bat boys with more appealing girls.
The 1970 edition of the batgirls was chosen by a panel
of students, celebrities and coaches. Among the 13 girls
selected was Emily Dampeer, one of two freshmen on the
squad. Two juniors were chosen and the remainder were
sophomores.
Emily is the tallest member of the group, standing 5
feet 11. The girls will attend all home games and some of
them will accompany the team to South America and on
road games.
One of the judges commented, “It was a difficult
choice to pick 13 girls out of all the applicants.” Student
body population of the University of Miami is something
like 18,000.
