Video does NOT hold up to its title, to any significant exaggeration. Extraordinarly brief regarding the butchering, and does not give the viewer the opportunity to complete the job on their own. Running time was only forty minutes with at least half covering how to BBQ and cook...? Very little detail on butchering. Poorly labeled video. Does not teach the different cuts or go through them. I butchered this year but other video resources were essential. Will not gain significant knowledge from this video to attempt butchering on your own. ...not informative as title implies, sorry.

Well, so much for finding a hidden gem. This video is sorely mistitled. About 5 minutes is spent on helping you butcher the wild game they discuss. Most of their advice is, "Follow the line of the muscle." There, you now know about all they are going to tell you. The rest of the time is spent on recipes and cooking the meat. The host says he is a chef right at the beginning and that tells you where the whole tape is going after that. You can find better resources than this on the internet with a search engine. If it weren't for the cooking tips, I would have given it 1 star since it doesn't even come close to delivering what it advertises

This is a giant zero. Virtually no information that would be of any use to anyone butchering, which is what the title would lead you to believe you are buying. They spend time talking about field dressing (brief) which would be of no value, and significant time talking about cooking. However, even in the cooking section, they give poor information, often even bad information. This video is in the trash at my house - I can't imagine ever wasting any time viewing it again. If I could give it less than a star, I would.

If you want a great video on butchering a deer or elk search: The Finest Cuts. This video is extraordinary. The production value is excellent and the description and skill of the host is great. I have watched it over and over just for the knowledge how it related to beef cuts and I have learned so much! The Finest Cuts: a hunter's guide to deer processing, is the full title.
