The book could have gotten more in depth with the subject of butchering, but overall it is still a good book for the novice butcher. I am no novice, but still picked up a tip or two.

the best thing i found is that this book contains alot of illustrations telling you where certain cuts of meat are taken from the deer. great for the hunter who processes his own harvest.

There are better books out there such as _Gut It. Cut It. Cook It._. This book also encourages aging which is a dangerous and needless process with venison.
