I know enough about anatomy & dissection to have an idea what parts are edible. Would my mammal or bird processing be efficient in terms of speed and waste, doubtful. I do fine with trout.

Eh, it's pretty simple..the backstrap and tenderloins are the tenderest, the rear quarters mostly steaks, the front quarters, neck make most roast and the rest burger....heart and tongue are pretty good to when prepared right, and of course the liver.. |

Animals are easy. Walk around and eat plants without getting sick, poisoned or dead.
Not too many animals will do that to you. |

Yes, I have butchered my own deer for the last few years and butchered my first chickens a few weeks ago. As far as the regular sheeple butchering animals what I see them doing is killing an animal and wasting a lot of it, they may kill a cow and only take the meat they can carry and leave the rest to rot.

There should be a maybe option. It's been a while since I did it, but I was taught how to catch and clean fish (ie...I still fish, but I do more releasing these days). I suppose that counts. On the other hand I've never been taught, tried or had the opportunity to hunt in my life, so I wouldn't know what to do with something like that. Don't think it could be that hard to figure out.

I edited my original post, but wanted to make sure anyone who read it knew about the edit. The tamale cooker smoke generator failed epically. Its floor melted and caught my smoker on fire. I think the fire is completely out. There was insignificant damage done to the smoker (floor and fresh air ducting are ruined, but the whole thing would have gone up in a couple more minutes had I not caught it early enough.
need to order a stainless steel pot ;). |

I can cook and bake very well for a non professional cook. I could process game but I doubt I would be good at it unless someone showed me or others were counting on me.
I guess I would hang the animal in a clean / cool environment. Gut it (stomach, intestines, organs). I would skin the hide if I wanted it. Then I would start taking pieces of meat out. I think the gutting would be the hardest part not to fuck up or contaminate the surrounding tissue. |

yes, i could. have processed deer, elk,lots of fowl, chicken, fish, bunnies, squirrels, have made leather, etc. the buffalo is the only critter without enough brains to tan its' own hide.
eta: by processed i mean killed, butchered, wrapped and cooked. we used to eat about 7 deer a year. |

fish are no problem, but i haven't processed a mammal in 30+ years. would make a terrible mess, and would probably find a way to F up meat with the bladder/intestines/musk glands.

AS I harvested this Elk, and did all the shooting skinning, gutting, and processing myself (with brother's help), I would say yes.

I've processed more animals than I care to remember. Dad never hunted or anything, but my brother got interested at an early age and taught me. We are in our 40's now and he still made me look like a rookie on opening day rifle after putting 2 bucks down.

Missed the quote button... apparently.
I have butchered a fair share of wild game in my day. I think game birds are the most effort, for the least meat... YMMV |

I've done plenty but I learned something the last moose I got--I'm getting old. I processed and packaged the whole thing myself over a weekend. Couldn't use my right (knife) hand properly for the better part of a week afterwards.
I don't think I could process anything larger than a moose without using motorized equipment of some type. I'm not even sure I could field dress anything larger than a moose by myself without mechanical assistance of some type. |
