A single deer can provide a lot of meat that can last for months if rationed properly. The hide can also be used for a wall hanging or carpet.
Butchering at home requires a lot more than a deer meat guide. You'll need the right knives for skinning the hide, a hacksaw, wet stone and gloves for cleanliness. Whats cool is you'll know where the steaks, loin and roast section comes from. Perhaps only cut the area of the meat that you only want instead of dragging the whole deer back to your camp, which could be miles. See and read the rest of the deer meat diagram story here.
