Needed more pictures 3
This book was well written but it lacked pictures to show what he was talking about. I had to read some parts more then three time to understand how to hold the knife and how to make the cuts.I think if you have done this before this book would be for you ,but if your new at this find a step by step book with pictures.

Butchering Deer5
An excellent reference covering much more than just the butchering aspect.
The book discusses handling the meat from the time of the kill. the handling in the field, the proper way to gut the deer, protecting the meat from contamination from insects, proper aging, and finally a step by step discussion on butchering, wrapping, and storage.
I give this book Five Stars. The gutting aspect differs from many other books and in my opinion is superior to other methods. I found this most informative.

A Must Own For Any Hunter!5
This easy to understand book not only educates the reader on the actual butchering of his game, but gives advice on how to make that meat all it can be before it hits the table! The illustrations and photos are the best part of this book. Like a bible for game butchering, this book will save me time in the field and money from bypassing the processing shop!
