OK, here's the good parts:

* It shows how to field dress and process bucks and does.
* It provides useful tips gleaned from many, many years of experience - you can tell these guys know what they're doing.

And here's the bad parts:

* The video quality is like watching an old home video on a worn VHS tape.
* There are NO chapters and NO menu. All the material is in one long chapter so it's difficult to go back and watch a specific part at a later date.
* The descriptions of the buck and doe anatomies is murky at best. You often cannot see what the guy is doing with this hands because they're up inside the deer.

If it weren't for the fact that there's some good information packaged in this lousy video production, I would've rated it one-star.

If the producers of this video happen to read this, here are some suggestions:

1. Rent some professional video equipment. Costs a few hundred bucks for a couple days, but you'll get much better video quality.

2. Divide the DVD into chapters so the viewer can choose which part of the process they want to watch. E.g. jump right to field dressing a buck, or field dressing a doe, or butchering, etc.

3. For the parts where you can't see the guy's hands up in the deer, cut-over to a visual aid like a diagram showing where the guy's hands are and what they're cutting.

Hello,

As with the other discussion I read before purchasing, I have to agree after watching this video that these people definately know what they are doing A+++. Yes, the video quality is not 100% but they do a good job explaining exactly what they are doing, I don't think I would be able to see much better even if I was in the room watching so I give quality an overall B. You can't learn it all from a video, but you can get some great tips and add a few of your own for the inbetweens.

I have now watched 3 different top Deer Processing DVD's and have to vote for this one as the best so far for picking up some good tips to use. I watched the Larry Metz, Deer Processing from field to freezer and was disappointed that they only do half a deer and didn't really pass on anything beyond the basics that we all know. I watched the Game Processing by T & M outdoors and thought the same.

So between the 3 I have to say these guys of Deer Masters really are the masters of Deer Processing...keep it up guys..as your ad said...step-by-step training as though you are training an employee "on the clock"...keep them coming...

Poor film quality, poor filming. I was not impressed with this video at all. Cameraman zooms in at strange times so you can't see what's going on. 100% amateur work. I also own one of the Larry Metz films and it's 10 times the film this is. Knowing how to process deer doesn't mean you know how to make a movie about it. I had always wondered how meat cutters can do it so fast. This film answered that question. They don't trim anything.

The video is "grainy" and the production value is low. There is some good information but you cannot see the process as well as I had hoped. This is a good product to give you an idea of what you will need to do but do not bank on this one to have youself ready to go.

I returned my copy. Like watching someone's poorly made home movies...Very poor narration and video quality!

The guys in the video mention that they have limited video editing skills at least, but let's face it, adding chapters to a DVD isn't that difficult. Aside from the poor craftsmanship, I found the video informative. The price is a bit high, but there weren't any other videos out there that sounded better and I really wanted to be able to see the process instead of just reading about it.

I have three kids who are all hyper active - pimples, training bras, braces - it's just awful. No threat is harsh enough to get these brats to behave and my wife is too drunk to help me most of the time. Now, since I got this video and told them that it was me in the video with the fuzzy deer, they been behaving. Thank you Deer Masters.
