To a deer hunter, nothing surpasses the savory taste of a venison steak cooked over an open flame. It's the moment when the effort truly pays off. But a lot must go into preparing that steak.

With the help of the step-by-step instructions and illustrations in this thorough handbook, author Monte Burch passes down the practical wisdom of his years of hunting and explains how to field dress and butcher a deer to properly prepare and preserve it for cooking or storage.

Burch demonstrates the techniques necessary for neat, non-wasteful field dressing, fundamental skinning skills, and the correct methods for cutting roasts, chops, steaks, stew meat, and ground chuck. He includes a guide to the tools and equipment you will need to get started, and also covers basic cooking methods and shares some of his favorite deer recipes.
